Excellent work everyone, DNotes is stronger than ever and has done a good job flying under the radar while building the necessary infrastructure to bring a completed product to market.

It looks as though 2017 is the year Alan's vision and careful planning will become a reality, and DNotes will differentiate itself from the competition in a way nobody else can replicate. He has seen the process of innovation occur first hand, and has a far deeper understanding than anyone in our industry on how/why innovation happens, as well as how to deploy innovation from a business perspective. There are many hands working behind the scenes, DNotes has the hardest working and one of the most talented developers in the industry. No other cryptocurrency can come close to matching "star players" like these. I remember early in DNotes' history, people were trying to lecture Alan on how to create a cryptocurrency (they thought any deviation from their ideals was blasphemy), not knowing that he has 40 years of business experience and has been involved in the technology sector since before most of them were born. But he was polite enough to let them voice their opinion.

So here's to the kindest, most skilled, and hardest working cryptocurrency team, DNotes. Happy birthday.
