On that subject from Dyna,

At this stage it is not likely that Bitcoin can be repositioned to be a sufficiently stable currency.

I agree, BTC is all over the map. Whereas Dnotes has shown a much more stable floor in its short existence. Even now after the last price rise following the 1 year mark, it has yet shown again a new and higher stable floor. And I credit that to the investment strategy for Dnotes.

The biggest problem is now, as with all alt coins is they are dependent upon bitcoin for its final value. Dreaming here a bit, but what could take Dnotes to it own place or store of value" would be to have its own Dnotes Exchange, or even more so a coinbase.com type of US Dollar purchase/sell exchange. From there it could break the chains that bind it to BTC and truly have its own identity.

Would like to even see a dedicated multipool that pays out in Dnotes, similar to iHash.co, xpool.ca, supernet and alike, Of course its debatable if it helps a coin to have a multipool go to market and covert the days mining into a specific coin for payout. In my mind that open for discussion.

We hear you, DC. It does get frustrating sometime for alt coins to be directly linked to the fortune or misfortune of Bitcoin at this time. I don't expect a viable near term solution. We just have to be practical and work hard towards the day when DNotes can stand alone by merits and perhaps an advantage for other currencies to be pegged to DNotes. That is a real possibility but it may be years away.

It is a reasonable statement that no other cryptocurrency is addressing the vital importance of currency stability, trust and integrity as seriously as DNotes. Perhaps we are the only community strongly committed to examine all the issues and focus on total solutions, instead of just pick and choose. Our approach is significantly harder and much more time consuming. Frankly that is what differentiates DNotes from others the most, in fairly significant ways.

DNotes is the only one I have come across to look at cryptocurrency as more than just a technology.

I would have to agree with the fact that DNotes is a lot more than just technology!!

As Dyna has often noted, being more than a technology and having had the foresight to create value propositions beyond just technology leads to a system approach where all functions that a business must eventually undertake have been thought of up-front. Strategic management requires a vision of the future and undertaking of activities "NOW" to materialize that future; not tomorrow or day after but today. A deliberate commitment today where the competition sits on the sidelines or vacillates increases the gap. This is imperceptible in the short run but over long term the gap manifests itself and increases at an alarming rate.

A deliberate design and strategic execution compresses the time it takes to get there. In lieu of such a vision, market forces and incremental trial and error and adoption might finally get you there but it will take time and effort orders of magnitue much larger than if you strategically set about to achieve that state. Hoping to achieve that state by just creating the technology is wishful thinking. Note that a system left unattended will grow in undesirable ways and then you become a slave to that system rather than being master of it.

Great comments, Keemo. Good strategic planning and flawless executions are significant competitive advantages. They create an unleveled playing field giving you an advantage over your competitor every time. Above all, it instills confidence and certainly making everything more predictable and under control. Such an environment is always more favorable and productive. The other end of the spectrum is dependent on hope and quite often far less productive, with high stress level and confusion.
