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 that’s a bad investment. But you have a good reason for thinking it’s 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!

Kudos to MiningHabit for gathering these quotes together!

Ya its totally understandable. Maybe they will get there act together, just seems unlikely at this point. I was skimming through there business license and every thing appears very legit (I don't have any experience in this area however). I can only imagine how hard it is for you guys to filter through the good and bad, especially when the good want an arm and leg in return. I imagine there will be some sort of class action lawsuit in this case if they really do go dark. So odd the effort that they go through and to have your name all over it, only to do something so illegal. Which is why I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'm wrong and they come back stronger than ever. Oddly I kind of actually liked the trading on the exchange. Anyway hope for the best and I hope this helps a little.

So, as to my personal conclusion. I believe that listex.io is offline now permanently. I went to all the forums and 99 percent of the people were having hard time with the exchange calling it a scam everywhere (no withdraws, no support, missing coins, companies paying to be listed and being removed shortly after, etc). They have been offline for 4 days now with no word on coming back. seems to be gutted now.

here is what I found after my last post(took with a grain of salt at first):
https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3d360f_79205e99a4054ecf9b64148f0d0c6f45.pdf

luckily if true i only lost a month of Dnotes interest in the end, I hope peoples individual losses were not to high. I had some good profits I never was able to withdraw but thats okay I saw red flags that I considered before making my first deposit.

Just FYI Exchange- www.Listex.io, withdraws are not working at all. Ive tried Note, BTC, and Dash. I Submitted my first Dnotes withdraw Aug 4 around noon. It Still says accepted yet nothing happens. I have not received any emails from this exchange (other than support registration) and they dont appear to be answering support tickets. Its been 48 hours or so for a support ticket.

Just wanted to let everyone know. Hopefully they are just fixing some bugs on there end, I will let you know if the status changes

oh gotcha I figured there must be a reason, that makes since tho

Great Interview Alan!

So I was looking at the dnotescoin.com, I dont see anything about the payment network. I think it may be a little easier for people to find that information to get started or at least understand it enough to feel like contacting you for more info.

just a thought,
Daniel

I was having a conversation yesterday with a customer and I told them about Dnotes. In the end they were super intrigued and love what they've read since. I Think they definitely qualify as a accredited investor, however not sure if they are. But It was cool to see incredibly high class individuals Read into it and be hooked for more. I knew the minute I dug into dnotes 4+ years ago that I was hooked. You guys are definitely doing things right. Thanks for all the hard work!

Were on Coin Market Cap: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dnotes/

I emailed them 2 days ago with a strong argument. never got a response makes me wonder if I helped. Im sure the volume up this days really did the trick.

this is what I wrote, "Please Update Dnotes blockchain. There Grandfathered in aren't they? They are being categorized as a "A listed Company" I found them through this site 4 years ago and they have been the best coin the whole 4 years. No Hype, easy to understand, smart, devoted, and most certified being the CEO is pioneer of the first portable computers and had the largest contracts with the US government at the time for those computers. They always do what they say there going to do and have completed a lot over 4.5 years and its all verifiable. You guys are nuts for not having them actively listed. Their registering with the SEC this year. They will explode with or without you but I just would really like to see there data on your site, its easier to follow. potentially it Allows others to not miss the low prices. Prices are starting to jump as of last night so its already starting. You are loaded with garbage on here take a real and trustworthy coin in.

Thankyou for your time,
Daniel"

I just want to repost one of my favorite quotes from Tee Gee last year:

"The trend we currently see is many adaptations of the wheel, whereupon players go around in circles in their mission to drive around the world. DNotes takes the approach that if the road is properly mapped out, we will notice that we need to get over sea too -- it is not the wheel, but flight that is required. Our plane may take a little longer to design, test, and deploy than everybody else's car, but when their cars can travel them no further, they must watch as we fly on. At that juncture, they can not re-engineer their car into an airplane by taking off their clever iteration of the wheel, and attaching wings in their stead.

All the work is in the preparation - "Map out the road ahead, and work out how far the best road may take you. Or just fly. TeeGee, 2017"



and a flashback of my quote last year,

"I also have owned dnotes for three years and agree that they will take it this company very far. This is a team with a dream thats becoming reality. They have a unbelievable abount of patience, more than i have.. haha  
But seriously they care so much about doing things right, that they follow through with what they say is coming everytime. They have always worded themselves appropriately. They hit the trust factor perfictly. Thats why even when they were quite working in the background not only did i not sell any, i bought more. Exciting times! Once again, i cant wait to see what the future of dnotes looks like!"


I miss RJF, Director of CR.I.S.P. for Retirement (just learned that detail) great quotes but heres one dating back to 2015 that stands out

"Sometimes we forget that we live in a capitalist world. Entrepreneur will invest their money in opportunities that could be profitable. As DNotes get better established, there will be many more who will invest in the DNotes ecosystem, just like the way others have invested in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Many things our community wished for today will happen when the time is right.

The main difference about DNotes is that we planned it as a business and managed it as a business from day one. Essentially we have been able to identify weaknesses and potential pitfalls in the system, as well as opportunities and incorporated a system in our strategic plans to overcome or avoid known problems while exploiting our strengths for the best opportunities. As it has already become apparent, we have taken the lead in establishing what we believe to be the most important part of the ecosystem, in order to position DNotes on the best path and grow it to become a dominant force. We call them strategic properties, including CryptoMoms, DNotesVault and our family of CRISPs. They are all strategically linked and will provide very healthy rate of growth in fundamental values to justify the increasing price of DNotes. Collectively, they will be the most effective means of securing mass acceptance of DNotes as a medium of exchange on a global scale. This is just the beginning. We prefer to start small and have a long way to go before pushing for large scale implementation."

I know there are many more out there maybe ill dig up another day. I know If I started quoting Dyna's great write ups we would be filling screens up.. lol Great Work guys your becoming more promising then ever. Your hard work will pay off and has already started

Thankyou Dyna and Team for all your hard work! You guys are doing a great job actively answering questions. I think that most of us could agree that we as a community appreciate your dedication to making your vision and dream come to life.  I can't wait. Enjoy settling down, taking a break from the forum, and good luck with all your travels. We will be looking forward to hearing back from you in the future after more progress has been made. 

Im adding a question sorry, does that mean we are not staking in the vault? I think we are still suppose to earn interest in the vault.. right? I see the vault is not mentioned

oh cool. how do I download that? ill try it out.

I use it. I don't mess with it to much however. What I can say is I like it a lot more now than the 1.0v. It loads smoothly, updates the blockchain fast, and its a great concept to incorporate the news feed. I love the idea of giving out different addresses to keep things nice and neat. Eventually when there's a phone app I would figure there will be an easy way to write a name in and get a QR code for the other individual to scan.

The whole thing runs very smoothly for me. Thanks team!

What do I think about Dnotes after four years?

“My opinion is”
Fact: 1) Just because you can’t see a warrior(Dnotes) in the bushes, doesn’t mean that one is not going to strike the cattle (other crypto currencies) that are in the fields grazing all the green off the pastures. Times are changing and Dnotes will strike when the time is right.

Fact 2: reread fact one and absorb



NOTE: This is not be the proper analogy being that Dnotes wants to work with everyone not against

oh haha ic.. lol ill stop didn't know that I was fighting for top low with you. My Grandpa still wants more so I was weaseling in to get more.

I think your right wiser! I decided to aid in the price swing and put a couple larger buy orders in to get more that I have been meaning to buy. Thanks for keeping us posted!

You know thats pretty disrespectful. I suggest you make those commits elsewhere.

There is a whole plan in action if you looked a little further with a lot of hard work involved. quite frankly this is one of the better or best coins that are available. The market place is going to change over these next few years and dnotes will take ever initiative to be right there in the action following the tax mans rules all along. I highly suggest you dig deeper, an opportunity you don't want to pass if you do your own research.

goodluck

That was a excellent podcast Alan!! I wanted to let you guys know the video has been removed on that link. I really hope MANY listen to it and spreed the wonderful advice and Dnotes itself!

thats unfortunate about Cryptopia but I truly believe it will prove more beneficial in the long run.

Great work you guys!! So cool to see the action unfolding after 4 years!!

Thanks for the heads up! I did have that issue at the vault. I resubmitted and history now shows it. thank you.

Oh I see..  is coinmarketcap going to be able to switch It to the 2.0 blockchain as it becomes more actively traded? Not sure if your already doing it but, maybe in the social media campaign incorporate the exchange so people know where to go to.  I imagine there has to be people desperate to gain a few more before Cryptopia starts trading it but maybe im wrong. Anyways thanks for the quick updates

or no one wants to hand any over!
