Hey team,
New to the forum, but have been aware of Dnotes since the start of 2015. At the time i was studying in Wellington and happened to randomly meet Tim one day. I overheard him talking about the future of money, blockchain, crypto coins etc. and was also paying close attention to the price of BTC, as i was sitting on 30 BTC i bought for $400 NZD a year or so before. 99% of people wouldn't have had a clue about what we were talking about, about 50% of them still wouldn't. I started talking to Tim about DNotes, and got to hear all about the CRISP programme, the vision DNotes had, and work they were doing around this. 2 1/2 years later, i'm still investing, and it is really great to see how far your company has come. A large group of my friends are all into trading on Poloniex, and DNotes and it's clear Dnotes are definitely worth holding on to. I'm looking forward to hearing what DNOTES 2.0 has in store for us, until then, cheers for the hard work - those beers are well deserved!
Hey felixir!
Great to have you visit our forum. It has indeed been a long time since I saw you and got you to sign up to our "CRISP for Students program". The funny thing about the program, is that the 500 DNotes you received were probably worth some 2-3 dollars max at the time. Now those same 500 are worth more than one 100 US dollars. Not bad for just signing up an email account online huh! Back at that time, it wasn't common at all for people to hold Bitcoin, and I was surprised to hear you had some.
Do continue to drop us a line time to time!
Well Teegee, i remember how enthusiastic you were about the project back at the start of 2015, and can see from the various videos / interviews online staring yourself, how your input has spread the word to so many people. I'm really glad to say "Hey, i know that guy", as its clear that hard work by yourself and the rest of your team is paying off.
I have used a the "Introduction to DNotes - an Unfolding Big Bold Idea of Global Scale" video as a Digital currency 101 to show friends and family who are interested but haven't quite grasped the background, potential and future capabilities of digital currency. The videos you have are clear, concise and are presented in a really digestable format.
If you guys ever need any new online services or require any beta testers for anything (Dnotes 2.0 website etc.) i am more than happy to help, and can also circulate amongst my group of friends who work by day and trade by night. Keep up the good work!
In fact, I just created the script for a new one - that I plan to be better than the last. And another more promotional style one that will probably be more animation based. There is also a lot of other activities and projects going on behind the scenes in preparation for 2.0. We look forward to completed deliverables for the community to enjoy.
I remember our conversation well, got you and another gentleman to sign up to CRISP for students (a plan centered on giving away a small initial holding to a demographic that are unlikely to be able to afford an early buy in) that day. I still have the aspiration to sometime soon sign up and collaborate with our first university to expand CRISP for Students. My own - the business school of Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand being a prime candidate. Another preference would be NIU in Chicago. The new CRISP programs are gearing up to be very fair in providing ~2% payment for deposits held at our DNotesVault. I see it as a worthy goal to make sure students can still get involved in spite of their low incomes and negative net-worth from student loans.
Our message still has many more people to reach, and our PR campaign is ramping up to meet this need. We're also very pleased to have opened a new forum to help in this endeavor.
