I am now in that project with 1000 USD. But why the hell did the price went to 4151 SAT? Feeling kinda pissed, bought at 5900 SAT. Some bad news, rumors or what is the reason?

I feel you. But let me tell you my story. I bought 80.000$ of this coin at ~0.25$ (~8500 sats at that time if I remember correctly). I was thinking in going for a 5 year plan with 50% of it, but I decided to wait until DNotes 2.0 is out. I am happy with my decision so far. But seeing this pump and dump dump dump after dump by whales holding big amounts bought early, it's making me very nervous. My investment is now worth around 35.000$ depending on the variation of the price. Even now I have trouble sleeping. But that is only because of me. Now I know when I will make a big investment, I will have to wait and see how the market goes. I bought because I researched this coin and I find it a good one. They have a different approach and a good plan. I plan on holding and staking. But for now is just whale dumping. And they dumped over 6 million DNotes, I took notes for almost every transaction on polo. I watch the market 24/7 with little time to sleep. I hope on finding time to adjust things so that I can sleep and go outside more.

I also have a message for Alan & Co. You tried to work behind the scenes with no news to avoid this type of pump and dumps, but as you can see you can't avoid that. In my opinion, seeing other coins perform over the last year with good news from time to time regarding the code and functionality of the coin, was a better approach. The reason why is simple. They build up more holders and more whales (yeah, they drive the price and the crowd goes with them) got their interest and the price got up many times, eventhough it fluctuated a lot, it doesn't matter AS WE CAN SEE. You may call it a hype, but that's crypto for now. DNotes is undervalued ONLY because of this.

One last question. You talked once about masternodes. I like them for the simple reason that they offer more revenue. We are talking about 2,5-3% per month with 24h staking time, compared to your 0.7 per month with staking for 5 years. If you will have MNs you will have to make a division or something, you can't have them with this kind of supply. Is this still in your planning?

Hi alfaalfa. We all understand what you are feeling - at one point or another we have all seen an investment lose value (2009 financial crisis Cry

).

"I bought because I researched this coin and I find it a good one. They have a different approach and a good plan." - You are already 20 steps ahead of most of the investors in cryptocurrency, as they all tend to follow the herd. But it is the investor that can see the future in something that is 'different', that will reap the biggest rewards.

"You tried to work behind the scenes with no news to avoid this type of pump and dumps, but as you can see you can't avoid that. In my opinion, seeing other coins perform over the last year with good news from time to time regarding the code and functionality of the coin, was a better approach." - DNotes has been very consistent in their path from day one of building a business-like ecosystem, with many of the project details not being announced until completion. Every successful business operates like this - if Apple had announced their 5 year iPhone plan years before it the iPhone was even released, there would have been a slew of copycats (sound familiar? lol).

As far as the price goes, with what DNotes has to offer, the price has has been anything but "pumped". Typical of the current cryptocurrency environment, the herd jumps onto the ICO or flash-tech coin of the day, by selling one that doesn't light-up when they shake it. DNotes greatest appeal will come from outside the industry because we are building something that people can actually understand - a researchable, verifiable, income generating investment. These people represent the elusive 'mainstream' no cryptocurrency has yet been able win over.

I believe DNotes is the one, and if you do the math on what the value of a successful global currency would be, in my opinion this is one risk everyone needs to take.

I'll leave the masternode question to someone else...

Re masternodes, you may have to refresh my memory on that discussion. It is possible they may be helpful for a few things, such as faster transactions, but I know we haven't settled on using masternodes specifically. For the potential for higher returns, this is something that has come up in our recent discussions and may be worth revisiting again now that you have brought it up.
