Another question -- how are you planning for people to redeem coins in 2.0?  Will they simply load their existing DNotes wallets into the new client or is there some kind of transaction or swap that will take place?

How will people send their coins into the vault after PoW ends?

I had a great meeting with the Geneca's team this afternoon. Though the main discussion was about an objective review of our ecosystems and their effectiveness in achieving our overall missions in pursuit of our vision to gain mass adoption of DNotes, we also discussed about DNotes 2.0 launch. We are confident that our phase one and phase two delivery of the wallet with invoicing and CRISP integrated will be in Beta testing stage by March 18, 2018. The launch date will be announced as soon as both teams mutually agreed that the product has been rigorously tested. There is a high level of confidence that the launch date will take place in early April, 2018.

I have a lot of respect for Geneca. We are very fortunate to have an immensely capable team that aligns so well with our business philosophies and commitment to always strive to be best in class. At times, it takes a little longer and cost more. At the end, we always do what is best for DNotes.

Three of Geneca's project managers from their "Experience Team" were assigned to go over everything that we have done for DNotes over the last four years. On the second day, one of them commented that it would take "four years" to read all the contents we have created. They are extremely impressed but also make some great recommendations.

Minor correction, since nSubsidy starts out as an int64, the math should be pow(0.95,4)*2500000000 == 2036265624.9999998, which is being cast back to an int64 type at https://github.com/DNotesCoin/DNotes/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L853

Expected behavior when casting a floating point value to an int is that the number is truncated (not rounded).  See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9695329/c-how-to-round-a-double-to-an-int

Patching main.cpp in the following manner (assuming rounding is the desired behavior) appears to fix the issue:

Thanks flound1129! That is correct, some blocks like 2103797 reward 20.36265624 rather than (25*math.pow(0.95,4)) 20.36265625. The mystery remains, why your node rejects it and all the others seem fine with it.

Not to worry cornercafe, we are working on figuring that out right now, so the miners can get the DNotes they thought they were mining. We don't want the miners to suffer as a result.

Thanks Alan! I would encourage everyone to contribute. It is the first thing a user would see when they are visiting DNotes, so it is fairly important and should be consistent going forward. They may have 0 knowledge about cryptocurrencies, so it is important that they can relate to it.
