Hi AlCamus, thank you for the well thought out and respectful questions.


"If DNotes would be confronted with the statement, that it is not a true cryptocurrency and so will never has a chance to reach mass adaption, what would be your answer?"

DNotes the currency is, in Andreas words, "open, public, neutral, borderless, and censorship resistant". Once we begin to reach mass adoption, and grow beyond the 'setup' phase, the fate of the currency will be largely outside of our control and has been setup that way, similarly to bitcoin. The rules that the blockchain follows are embedded in the blockchain and only the only way to change is with network consent.

Our vision is to have a decentralized currency, where the important decentralized aspects of the currency remain in tact. Those include things like the reliable and consistent creation of newly created coins, decentralized distribution of those coins, the decentralized security and verification on the decentralized network. With the inclusion of an external company that has significant self interest in the currency to handles the centralized aspects - things like driving innovation, infrastructure, adoption, stability, models for use, as well as maintenance and market support.

Imagine one day in the distant future where DNotes has a large following, DNotes Global proposes a change to the rules of the blockchain and a large number of DNotes users disagrees with the rule change. A number of things could happen, but most likely a fork would happen. Some users will upgrade and others will not resulting in two chains. A DNotes Global supported chain and one not supported by DNotes Global. That is what makes the currency itself open, public, borderless, and censorship resistant.

It's also not likely, with a vested interest in the currency, and the entire ecosystem built around DNotes, that the company would move forward with such a change that the majority disagrees with, but again it is possible. It has been built in such a way that its interests align with the DNotes users and a move such as this would likely be detrimental to DNotes Global. The company itself is under the jurisdiction of the United States, that has significant advantages in the companies rights and ability to fight back against censorship through the legal system, but ultimately the DNotes users themselves could split off.

In contrast to what Facebook is creating, which this article would be worth a read here https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/18/facebook-libra/ to evaluate for yourself, the only factor that gives DNotes Global any leverage is its own stake in the currency, just like any other user. Libra seems to have an exclusionary system with many controlling factors including being a stablecoin. All you need to participate and be included, as far as DNotes goes, is to own the coin and potentially stake the coin.


"Is DNotes going to focus on the niche of women entrepreneurship in the next years? What transparency could DNotes holders expect here from DNotes Global, Inc.?"

NextGenHERo is one avenue we will focus on and currently our primary focus. Just to clarify though, this site is focused on entrepreneurship, technology, fiance, and fintech. It is for everyone but with a specialization in encouraging and assisting women. Right now the content is heavily geared toward women, but as we grow that will be balanced with more and more articles focused on the general topics.

I assume you would like to know how long it will take before we can spend more time on DNotes core vision, promotion and associated technologies. The answer hinges on how quickly we can create a revenue model with HERo and it's success, as well as the resulting funding we intend to push with a proven revenue model in place.

In regards to your transparency question, we have always been transparent in our broader plans, what we have to do on a day to day basis to achieve those goals is not something we broadcast nor is it for most part measurable or all that interesting. You will certainly hear of our successes along the way and every person who have been promoted on HERo is a supporter of our vision and the majority of which want to do whatever they can to help us in our mission. The amount of work that is going into this is incredible.


I would like to add a comment regarding what you said about our social media. While I understand where you are coming from, from our experience and perspective, the crypto community is interested in price of DNotes and things that would result in temporary price boosts. Our broader vision has fallen for the most part on deaf ears within the blockchain space with a very small portion of true supporters who understand what we are trying to accomplish and support it. Outside of our industry, outside of these forums and social media, is where we gain the most traction and support. We can win this industry over, but only when we have the resources to show them what is possible. Otherwise it's an up hill battle to get anyone in this industry to be excited about anything other than price and dive deep enough into our plans to understand that it is a decentralized currency and has a viable vision for taking decentralized currency to the masses.

We greatly appreciate everyone who understands our vision and supports us and all the positive feedback we have received. However, we need to focus our attention outside of this industry to really gain the traction we need to propel us forward.
