What has been going on at Cryptsy is quite unfortunate. It is hard enough to build a successful business. Letting it go down through neglect, after being quite successful for a while, is hard to understand.
DNotes' volume on Cryptsy is still quite high. I suspect that a lot of DNotes from multi-pools are still being sold through Cryptsy.
It still amazes me. As a lifelong business owner and entrepreneur, I simply do not understand this industry. 90% of them seen to be either scams or so poorly run it is laughable.

Most "owners" are 15 year-olds living with mom.
That does explain a lot, BUT.....when I was 15, I was running TWO businesses already! I dunno if they were REALLY businesses, but, I had "employees", (a couple of buddies who had their driver's license already), "equipment" (an old ton truck, some ladders and roof pics), and a "marketing plan". I painted houses, and would clean up metal "junkpiles" (for free!). I actually feel lucky, Alan was growing up on the other side of the world, farming with water buffalo. At least I had a truck, running water and electricity! If we would have had internet back then, Bill Gates would have been my butler, and Steve Jobs may have been gardener!

Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in the mouth. I always had the attitude that it is not where you are now, but where you are going from here that matters. The past is history. Always focus on your next move, but be sure you know where to want to go.
DNotes has been a lot about strategic positioning and adapting to industry changes and other challenges, of which we have little control, like the Cryptsy situation. What is important is that, irrespective of industry set-backs, we are always advancing and continued to get a little closer to our ultimate destination of DNotes being the trusted digital currency for everyone worldwide to participate so that it becomes a viable option to supplement global fiat currencies. It may take decades but that is our vision and we are committed to our missions as reflected in the constant expansion of our ecosystems. That is how we are building DNotes as the digital currency with a purpose.
