Reached out to who and putting our name in the hat for what? The article was about Etrienne Goosse from the European Payment Council making a statement to urge EU banks to step up and compete with the emerging fintech technologies.

That pressure and competition is great for everyone. I imagine banks will be able to match up with some of the advantages that digital currency brings to the table as well as adopt other non-fiat digital currencies to keep a larger market share and combine the advantages where possible. Being able to manage your own funds is a great option but factors like speed, convenience, protection, trust, cost and value will be more important to the majority of users. Our vision is that the user will be able to decide how to manage their funds best and the level of risk and protection that is best for some or all of their funds.

Update on Funding:

Our funding campaign has been going well – as good as we have anticipated. It has generated a lot of interest from potential investors, fund raising professionals and venture Capital (VC) groups. As expected, this is a long process that requires great patience and persistence. It has been keeping me very busy; at times impossible to keep up.

I am confident that we will get funded. In the meantime, I will not take anything for granted but instead continue to pursue new possibilities until we are sufficiently funded. The best our supporters can assist our efforts is to keep our community engaged and continue to get our message out.     

Apart from raising the necessary capital this turns out to be a great PR campaign giving me a great opportunity to communicate with many key people in our industry. This opens opportunities for collaborative partnership and potential prospects for NextGen VC.  Overall, it has been very positive including quite a few high-level professionals who would love to work for us given the opportunities. I can feel that DNotes is gaining a lot of respect, though not yet reflected in the price of DNotes.

My messages are very clear to those who could be help to us – get us funded and have DNotes listed on a major exchange. Together, we will continue to pursue that relentlessly.   Thank you for your support.           

Agreed Tim, well said. Running your own server just for the daemon / wallet to run and manage transactions is simply not a viable solution for the majority of people who want to sell products. If we want to truly be an inclusive digital currency for the benefit of everyone, we need to come up with solutions for everyone to be able transact between two parties.

That is exactly what we are doing, we are providing solutions from the ground up, rather than form the top down. This is what makes DNotes and DNotes Global, Inc. concept so amazing. It is actually beneficial for DNotes Global to act in the benefit of the majority of people, rather than just the ones with the money. What's good for DNotes is good for DNotes Global, and vice versa.

You're quite right Alan. DNotes being selected as one of very few A-list participants in the TV show "Blockchain Super Stars" is a great privilege, and I'm looking very forward to filming my segments later over the next couple of days. Our selection will lead to a huge amount of exposure, and tell the DNotes story and what makes us different to all the "me too" projects out there that are just imitating the business model of the project before them.

Blockchain Super Stars will be aired in more than 50 countries, and will have coverage in every location within the USA. The show will interview select experts from across the blockchain / crypto industry, and various celebrities about their favourite projects and involvement in the industry. This is an opportunity that we will make the most of.

The Blockchain Super Stars press release can be found here: https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/NLTV-In-Production-for-the-Global-Premiere-of-BLOCKCHAIN-SUPERSTARS-International-TV-Series-20180615

The introduction is below:

"The elite producer of award winning business and entertainment television programming, NLTV, is at it again...this time with the production of the world's first Blockchain Television Series. NLTV will be bringing some of the Blockchain Industry's top experts and Hollywood's brightest A-list superstars into the living rooms of every day Americans during a major Television Special Event Program that will be distributed nationally in all 220 major DMA's in the U.S. and also to over 50 countries internationally this Fall called: BLOCKCHAIN SUPERSTARS.

In the block chain industry known for its complexity and, unfortunately, even its' hype, this 7-part series will bring clarity and substance. Everyone is certainly talking about blockchain. But what is it, how does it work, and who are the companies and technologies that will be the next BlockChain SuperStars? Those are just some of the questions that will be addressed in a series that will be tackling every major issue facing this newly burgeoning industry."

Since we have been gaining new supporters every day this may be a helpful introduction of my position and why I am relentlessly committed to making DNotes and DNotes Global an immense success.

I am a very passionate mentor of entrepreneurs and small business owners and author of “Improve Your Odds – The Four Pillars of Business Success”. As much as the book is written to assist others to improve their chances of succeeding in business, it is also written as the blueprint for managing DNotes as a pure decentralized entity that is not controlled by any individual, group, or company. It belongs to all the stakeholders and ownership is at will. Anyone can own and dis-own any amount of DNotes without any obligation.

The book is a required reading for anyone hired to work for DNotes Global, Inc. We will hire only the best fitting candidates who understand and believe in our vision of building a great company with exceptional employees committed to the best in class mindset in everything that matters. We are committed to a unified single corporate culture, working as a team to accomplish common goals.

Here is my favorite quote from the book. “Where you are right matters far less than where you are going from here.” I am mindful that a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet and unable to save any meaning amount for retirement or emergency. Let’s work together to see how we can help change the world a little for the better.

I am constantly being approached by others to invest in their projects.  At this time, my personal investment of time and money is almost exclusively on DNotes and DNotes Global, Inc. After having been in business for over forty years, I see this as the most challenging project of all. The potential is immense and likely to have significant positive world changing implications.

We have been spending the last 4 ½ years building a solid foundation with a clearly articulated vision of DNotes’ path to mass adoption as an inclusive trusted digital currency in global commerce worldwide. We are positioning DNotes to be a supplement to fiat currency globally. To accomplish that, DNotes Global, Inc. will be providing the management and leadership to a rapidly expanding fully integrated ecosystem.

We are working on two funding rounds. Our first round using Reg. D 506 (c) is aimed at raising up to $5 million from accredited investors and scheduled for launch later this month. Our second round using Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Tier 2 to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide will be in drafting mode shortly. It is also our plan to have a full-blown IPO in three years.

If you like what we are doing and share our vision and philosophy I invite you to follow us and stay in close touch. Our vision is truly global and inclusive, irrespective of your financial standing.

Well, sure: BTC or LTC do not have CRISP implemented. So yes, DNotes has become a financial product and is not just another coin.

For me exchanges are not that important right now. It is more important that your company does the Reg A+ Mini-IPO to get some money - so that developments could be reached much faster.

As Alan mentioned most are not responsive, some have only acknowledged our request after more than a month and most are asking for $50,000 to $150,000+ worth of bitcoin or other digital currencies as a fee. It's not going to be easy or quick, it is going to a challenge. We will provide information when we are able to.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Kent.

Frankly, our industry is conveniently blind but innocently confused. I am applauded by how many accomplished professionals have been perpetuating bad behaviors that are bluntly unacceptable and clearly unsustainable. Yes, since the beginning, we saw the day of reckoning coming and refused to join the party. I trust that this hardship will further differentiate DNotes from others.

This could help propel DNotes to a leadership position even sooner than I personally anticipated. Again, always do what it right and give it all you got to the benefits of everyone. We are consistent and verifiable. We must respect the rule of law and help to protect investors’ hard-earned money. Majority of us are struggling to make ends meet. I can’t to happier to see DNotes making a difference. Thank you all for making DNotes a success.
