Re: [ANN][NOTE]DNotes - New Company Launch in 2016 To Integrate The Currency, Pay...
Right now I see NOTE as a lofty idealist architectural firm. The vision is good, if as-yet not well-defined in terms of specifics. We need some boots on the ground in the sales and marketing department too. That's real.
That is something we are working on. I recently made a CRISP video (and will be making more about DNotes and crypto in general)

Also, I have a seminar coming up this weekend in New Zealand for a "Students for Liberty" conference. I am one of three invited 'non-student' speakers (I'm known among liberty circles in NZ - 'tis a small country of 4.5 million people), I am going as a representative of DNotes, and not as a board member of 'Anarkiwi' - a freedom focussed community I began 18 months ago that promotes philosophy and the benefits of a stateless society (the capacity by which I was invited). The topic is "How to make NZ more prosperous". My talk will be about the "blockchain future" and how favourable regulations to cryptocurrencies will bring capital inflows to NZ, and discuss the blockchains applications in regards to efficiency, resource allocation, regulations, professionals... etc. I will spend a significant amount of time in the presentation discussing DNotes and how a globally accepted digital currency would benefit both the world, and New Zealand. The other two non-student speakers are much more distinguished than myself, both having been leaders of the NZ 'libertarian party' - one of them was the Reserve Bank Governor Chairman for 14 years (Fed Chairman equivalent), and the other an award winning journalist who is also a Philosophy lecturer from Cambridge university. I had brunch with the RBNZ Chairman during an election campaign 4 or 5 years ago, and I look forward to meeting the philosopher in person. I think it is a good opportunity to get DNotes brand out there, we are engaging and marketing, and some of the people present will be well connected. DNotes as a team also rely on value growth to fund further projects, so we are definitely with you on the 'enormously invested' part you mentioned.
Here is me:
Don Brash - Former World Bank Economist and Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor
Jamie Whyte - Who has a very interesting mind.
It is a start, and there is much more to come. I have requested the talks be filmed, and the organisers agreed. I have 6 more days to prepare it
.That's excellent TeeGee! Can't wait to see it.
We need some boots on the ground in the sales and marketing department too.
On top of what you can see in our marketing efforts that you may or may not have noticed, there is a massive effort that happens in the background as well. For instance, you may not have heard how often Alan is attending meetings, or the time he spends growing and interacting his network, or realize the importance of the book he is writing in terms of marketing and networking, or the huge effort from Chase reaching out to organizations for CRISP and CryptoMoms, or TeeGee spending time to reach out to students and universities, or the deals we have worked out to advertise our programs, or Chris who will be representing us and a speaker at a UK digital currency event, or the articles we have written to help promote some our programs. That doesn't cover everything of course, but my point is, there is a lot happening that may not be 100% apparent. That said we need all the help we can get, this is a massive project with many hurdles to overcome and lot's to do.
