Hey guys, I have a few questions on two separate matters. Maybe these have been answered, but it's challenging to load every page of the forum on my remote rural connection, so you'll have to forgive me if these have already been covered.
1) What inroads have been made in China, and what legal challenges might we face? What kind of opportunities can DNotes provide the people? Will DNotes help provide a third alternative to government run or private pension plans (I know they are having a serious problem with embezzlement of employer/private pension plans)?
2) If a group decides to fork DNotes, let's say to create DNotes Cash (like Bitcoin Cash), and it gains popular support, will DNotesVault ever offer them services? If DNotes doesn't offer support for the forked currency will there be a way for DNotesVault users to claim their stake on the fork chain? It's not a matter of if this situation happens, it's when...
I'd like to know too.
Mercatox DNotes withdrawals still unavailable. It's now been more than 24 hours...
And... my wallet went off on another fork around midnight last night. I discovered it and reset it just now. So I lost 6 hours of staking rewards. The current number of coins staking is only around 25 million, though that is higher than what it was last night. So whatever the problem is seems to be a recurring one.
For Mercatox, they have not responded directly to me as of yet.
For your wallet, a couple of questions. Is it synced or out of sync (green check mark at the bottom of the application)? What version of DNotes are you using (click help > about DNotes)? Is the time on the PC correct? How many connections do you have to the network (the wifi looking symbol at the bottom)?
Right now my wallet appears to be running correctly. It is synced (with green check mark) and the block heights of my wallet and the explorer match. When my wallet is on its own trail, the green check mark will still show, but when I mouse over it, it will indicate a block height that is usually about 20 blocks behind what the explorer says, and that's how I know something isn't right.
I'm running version 2.0.2.1-g13c7a92 (that's what my wallet "about DNotes" says. The time on the PC is correct, and I haven't noticed it not being correct ever. I currently have 25 active connections to the DNotes network.
If the wallet "forks" again, I could send you that same information again if that helps.
And I don't want to bury Brandon's questions. They are good ones, especially the one about inroads into China. On the forking question, my personal opinion is that without a complete ecosystem to support it, any fork of DNotes won't go very far. The reason Bitcoin Cash happened was mainly because consensus on appropriately modifying Bitcoin core technology to keep up with the needs could not be reached so one group went off and forked Bitcoin cash in the hopes of addressing some of the issues. Since DNotes is taking leadership in keeping the coin up to date, there isn't a need for one group to fork it, plus that group would basically have to re-invent the wheel (all the surrounding infrastructure that makes DNotes what it is).
It could be a local issue as well. So far I haven't found any of our network nodes with any issues. You can email your logs if it happens again.
