It does appear that mine and dump has been a challenge.  Since we do not support pumping DNotes to attract higher bids, DNotes is under valued, just by the fact that it is adding significant asset value, such the launching of Cryptomoms.com while the price of DNotes has gone lower instead of higher. My view is that our industry is conditioned to be attracted to highly speculative trading verse value investment for the longer term. In short, DNotes is not an "exciting" currency for speculative trading.

DNotes supporters should read my blog "Taking Crypto Currency to the Next Level" carefully. Making every effort to build a solid foundation at this formative stage is of criticle importance for any crypto currency to become main stream. Unless a given digital currency can serve well as a trading vehicle, medium of exchange, and store of value, it will not become a main stream crypto currency. However, the currency that can earn a passing grade in all areas will be extremely well rewarded and become the digital currency of choice.  DNotes is setting the bar very high, making the barrier or cost of entry to participate in the crypto currency world substantially more difficult.

No matter how confident we are, investment always comes with certain risks, potentially loosing everything you invested, especially in crypto currencies. For this very reason, I would not encourage committing to buy orders just for the sake of putting up a buy wall. If your intent is to purchase DNotes at a certain price because you feel that it is a good investment, then it should be your judgement call as to whether the risk to reward profile is acceptable as it applies to your situation.
