For some of them, it wasn't even about money to begin with and still isn't, it's about being an early adopter and learning something new, something that isn't written in any history book but will change the course of the future for many generations.

You put that so well felixir. And dipping that toe in the water to be part of something so fundamental to the future can be really cheap. Maybe not if they're not aware or wanting to have a fraction of a BTC. But if you want a few DNotes, you can get them cheaper than almost any other form of entertainment.

That is a good point Tim, we have setup several programs to help get people easily started in DNotes and begin learning about it. It would be great to come up with a way to get a small amount of DNotes into the hands of people that are interested in getting started and learning more. The challenge is being able to do with in such a way that cannot be exploited and also does not require a lot of manual intervention.

Finally! Something intellectually stimulating to read on BCT again! Grin

Great to see Dnote's new forum and talk to the crew! I have missed the old forum quite a bit. It was easy to keep up with everything on a daily basis for someone with limited time. Great to see everyone here again!

PS: Did I miss the signature contest? Haven't had time to read all the new posts as of yet...

Welcome back RJF! Great to see more old faces returning to the forum to say hello. I am in agreement with you that intellectually stimulating discourse beyond the "price" of a coin by its adherents is difficult to come by. The signature contest is now over, but we may look into a similar contest in the future. Please post again when you've caught up with all the content in this thread.

There are two words that I don't mind if I never read or hear again: "pump" and "dump"! Anyway, DNotes future looks very bright indeed. I'm so glad to see everyone is still here, Hi Alan!, hows Smokey and the farm?

RJF, we are always very happy to see you. Kevin (Smokey) is doing very well. He is an amazing guy and an inspiration to all of us.

The farm (Smokeys Gardens: https://smokeysgardens.com/) has grown a lot since your last visit. We expanded from 38 to 70 acres with many more gorgeous daylilies. We are now by far the largest daylily grower in the world. As you may remember from our earlier conversation, we started 10 years ago with $500 with a commitment to be equal to and subsequently better than any of our competitors. It has been a long journey with relentless dedication to do whatever it takes to be the best in class. We did it and I am very proud and appreciative of our team.

DNotes is following the same business model. Our commitment is to be equal to our best competitor one day. We are totally dedicated to our vision of DNotes meeting the full functions of money and ultimately be superior to fiat currency. It is a Big Bold idea of global scale and scope but that is what it must take for digital currency to gain mass acceptance worldwide. It's a massive undertaking and that is why I spent a whole year to write a book "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Business Success" https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/ with a chapter each dedicated to Smokeys Gardens and DNotes. We will soon have a daylily officially registered and named "DNotes"

We are doing amazing things at DNotes with a lot happening at the farm. For the last few months, continuing through much of this summer, we have been using the farm as our training, conference, strategic planning, and video production center. You are always welcome to visit us if you happen to be in the area.

Quote from RJF:

PS: All caught up, wow, things are looking very good. I applaud your decision to go POS, gives you much better control of the coin and everyone gets to share in the pie, not just the miners. Nice move. I'm especially interested in the smart contract inclusion as I'm following similar efforts elsewhere. I have always felt this tech has great promise and will be very interested in DNotes implementation. How do you intend to guarantee the transactions? Escrow? If so, single or double? Will the contracts be revocable by any single party?

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Good to note that you like our decision to go POS. I rather not get ahead ourselves on technical details at this time. I can say that we will be a significant player in the blockchain and smart contract arena.

Understood about technical details, no problem, just exciting to hear! Also glad to hear everyone is doing well, perhaps I can visit again next year when I'm in Ohio, we will see. So, why be equal to your best competitor? I say, blast out in front! Although there is something to be said for being a smaller target!
