Hi everyone! Its been a long time since my last post. Those of you who don't know me I have followed and been accumulating dnotes since they were 3 months into development.
Thats great to hear that the hero membership milestone is right around the corner!

For those of you new to Dnotes, this team always has done what they say they were going to do since day one. Yes there are set backs that may take them a little longer to work around most of which seem to be entirely out of there control. In what perfect world are there NO setbacks? Dnotes team and Alan have done a great job sticking to there vision and working around these setbacks... Most of which requires much time and hard work to achieve progress.
"If DNotes were to succeed as the digital currency of the future with lasting value it has to take a very different path to reach that mountain top. It must build a solid foundation, block by block, systematically, while executing its strategic plans at the most opportune time which may often conflict with that of speculators."Bitcointalk: March 8th, 2014 - Alan Yong, DNotes co-founder
I know it sucks the price is down however this is entirely out of there control in the present time.. Hey its a uniquely free marketplace. Makes no since to make small efforts of hype to try to keep the price up, it needs to happen organically to have a sustained value which is the objective. Also hype works against there trust factor which will be very important in the future. Clearly they aren't in a happy enough of a position to spend time and money advertising. They're will be a day and it sounds like they're getting to be another step closer.
"I think almost every great investment has a contrarian check. A lot of people will think thats a bad investment. But you have a good reason for thinking its a good investment and it will get to scale. Those are typically the unusually great investments."-Reid Hoffman
I personally believe Dnotes has the right team and dedication to make their vision get to scale. It just takes a lot of time and hard work. I believe in their vision and team which is why I'm still around. Team keep up the great work!
Very often when you are going for real innovation you have to go against prevailing wisdom, and its hard to go against prevailing wisdom when there are people who have been there for a long time and you have some vice president who says, No, that doesnt make sense.
