Dyna,

What is the current plan for positioning Dnotes in the future? Can you discuss the long term plans and predictions? I know a lot of this has been covered but, I would like see where the Dnotes community leaders stand now.

Thx

I'm also curious on this. With so many new coins with quite a bit more innovative technology behind them coming out on a regular basis, I'm wondering what the plan is to keep DNotes relevant.

I would say that DNotes being stable without gimmicks, or pumping and dumping will be what keeps it relevant. And holding it's projects close and non speculating is also important. Just cause a newer coin than us comes out with some other technology does not mean we are doomed in any sense.

Example: you can release 100's of new comic books for example but it's normally the older 20-50 that have any quality behind them and are not just there to be there to make a buck, and that people know about and stay in popular culture.

Another example: There can be hundreds of new fancy candies out there but still again the more name recognition, long term sticking around and the candies that are easily affordable quality and no gimmicks are accepted by the majority of the population. Yes some new comers join in but being part of the long term group is what keeps companies alive for generations. again about 5-25 candies will be what a good chunk of population stick with. there might be more for one off tastes but not too many people buy Scorpion lolly pops everyday lol.

We need to stay fast and keep going, DNotes has plans we are working for and I am sure as soon as they are able to spill the beans they will. They also don't want false hope or peoples expectations to be too great for the short run. Does anyone remember all the Hub-bub over "Ginger" and "IT" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway_PT#Early_history_and_pre-release_marketing
the media got a hold of a few keywords and suddenly spin started going with some people thinking it was going to be a flying car, or some jet pack thing..., and I remember when it came out to be a simple Gyroscope-two wheel vehicle there was lots of "WHAT THE HELL"? and "THAT's what the thing is what a waste" coming from people.
The article above has a few examples of the stupid hype it created

"The speculation created an unexpected advance buzz about the product that was, at times, hyperbolic. Steve Jobs was quoted as saying that it was "as big a deal as the PC",[1] though later sources quoted him as saying when first introduced to the product that its design "sucked".[2] John Doerr speculated that it would be more important than the Internet.[1] Articles were written in major publications speculating on it being a Stirling engine.[3] South Park devoted an episode to making fun of the hype before the product was released."

In other words we don't want another segway style pr disaster. I am sure if things were more carefully handled it would have been a bit more well received. So lets keep supporting and knowing we have experience and knowledge on our side (Alan) and the team have had years of experience with how to get things done and how and when to announce an improvement to a product or business.
