Hey Wiser, might I remind you that over 95% of the content on https://dnotesedu.com is and has historically been written by women. It is a great first step in getting a basic understanding of cryptocurrency. Don't think we have forgotten all the great material you wrote for the DNotesEDU app in 2015, you made a great contribution in the evolution of this industry!

Great discussion. I can objectively say that both you and Chase have made significant contributions to our industry and to DNotes. We are most grateful for that.

Our industry is more than just a little different. It is uniquely challenging, confusing, and intimidating at times. It takes time but it will eventually take its course to settle down in a more normal state.

DNotes is committed to be an inclusive digital currency as we drive toward mass adoption. It makes sense for us to have founded CryptoMoms to encourage and assist women to participate in the crypto currency space. We are still firmly committed to the cause as mass adoption of digital currency will not be achievable without the full participation of women.

However, I believe that the remaking of CryptoMoms later this year should seek to expand our core mission to be more expansive and inclusive of others who could benefit from this technology revolution. We welcome any ideas you may have.

I should have been clearer in my little rant yesterday. It's so easy to say things like "the industry this" or "the industry that" when 90% of it follows that pattern of behavior, but not everyone is like that. DNotes stands head and shoulders above the crowd in delivering a message that we want everyone included in this journey. Is it safe to say we have done more to not only welcome, but actually help people with little or no tech skill, get into cryptocurrency? I think so. "Disconnect between developers and users"? - Not at DNotes! The proof lies not in what you say, but what you do. DNotes Vault - 2014. I have yet to meet anyone from outside cryptocurrency (with few tech skills), that would even consider downloading a wallet to store their coins in. They felt more comfortable storing them on an exchange - scary! The fact that there so few currencies that have anything like DNV, says a lot about how many people from outside the industry they have actually reached.

You are right wiser, it is easy to forget the good when it gets drowned out by the bad. 

I agree with both of you that, on balance, there are a lot of amazing things happening in our industry. But there are certainly days, when things are challenging – causing doubts and confusion. Perhaps, because of the enormous scope and potential scale of our industry there is a significantly larger share of “the good, the bad, and the evil” than we have ever seen in any industry. Some cleaning up is a good thing.

I am proud to say that with your help, DNotes has been steadfast in our commitment to create a unified culture of inclusiveness, trust, respect, and appreciation for all collaborative contributions. Yes, we are leading by showing, and that "will eventually cause us to be recognized as industry leaders" and ultimately going to make a huge impact in helping to shape our industry for the common good.

For DNotes to gain mass acceptance, we must remain purposeful and inclusive. We are getting very close to the point where we will have the platform and the podium to reach a very large audience worldwide. We must use the opportunity to encourage and assist everyone worldwide to participate and benefit from it. I believe that this is a generational opportunity. And, this is our best chance to help change the world.

CryptoMoms is scheduled for a complete makeover and rebranding, towards the later part of this year, with a lot more help for women and everyone else. Personally, I like to see that we go big and make it a global platform for many things relevant and beneficial in this digital age. We encourage everyone to comment and share their ideas.

An idea I have for CryptoMoms is to build in both a social networking and task management component. I'm thinking along the lines of Basecamp, Trello, Process Street with maybe a touch of Evernote thrown in. For social networking, you can have people you follow or friend, and you can categorize them into different groups or put them on different teams. So the idea would be that on CryptoMoms you can blog and discuss matters, but you can also organize your work into tasks which might repeat, network with your teams, and you can showcase your work. The site could offer webinars and short courses of various kinds, for example, maybe a regular class could be one based on the 4 Pillars book.

I'd love to have a one stop site where I could organize my family's next camping trip as well as keep up with my various cryptocurrency tasks, organize my research for various writing projects, and network with others if I want to do something requiring collaboration.

If you can somehow integrate a "rewards" aspect to it, similar to Steemit where posts are rewarded based on upvotes, that would certainly be fun, but not necessary.

I'm thinking that mainly since women tend to wear many hats (especially moms), it would be really cool to have a place where you could have it all organized.

Edit: And since this *is* crypto, after all, a site like this wouldn't be complete without some pretty deluxe multicoin wallets

We are on target for the prototype release of DNotes 2.0 on March 18th. CRISP and Invoicing system included. The actual launch date is TBD, but first week of April is the target.

CRISP we have changed to a 0.5% interest payment on a 30 day cycle, which will be 6% annual compounded monthly.
It is important to note that the reward is being calculated on a 30 day cycle, the cycle will begin 30 days after launch. The reward is only paid on balances that were in the same address for the duration of the 30 days. If you deposit to an address between CRISP payouts, you will not receive payout until the following full cycle.
Also, this is being paid by address, not by wallet. Your wallet can have any number of addresses, and as far as the blockchain is concerned, these are treated separately.

Deferred staking will be a follow up release, shortly after the launch of DNotes 2.0. TBD, but among our top priorities.

Github has been updated, except for a few recent changes:
You can view the various branches to see our changes in various phases.

The swap process:

All DNotes on the DNotesVault will be automatically swapped for users. The DNotesVault will be down an estimated 2 days to complete the DNotesVault swap.
All other users will be able to fill out a form or email us to perform a manual swap where they will have to send us their DNotes in exchange for DNotes 2.0.

All coins can be swapped until the deadline, 2 weeks after the launch of DNotes 2.0. Including all newly mined coins during that time.

Prior to the swap, we will reach out to exchanges to either briefly delist DNotes, and provide two recommended options:
1) Delist DNotes prior to the swap, requesting their users to remove their DNotes by the deadline. Then relist DNotes with the DNotes 2.0 build.
2) Take DNotes down for maintenance prior to the launch, send us their DNotes to be swapped for DNotes 2.0, notifying their users of the upcoming swap, and bring DNotes back up after the swap has taken place.
The alternative is they continue to list and trade old DNotes, and later do one of the above two options.

Prior to the soft deadline we will notify the mining pools of the upcoming soft deadline and request that they inform their users of the change, and stop mining DNotes at the soft deadline.

After the soft deadline, there will be a fork in the old DNotes network, which we will maintain, for late comers to still be able to swap their coins. No newly mined old DNotes, mined after the soft deadline will be honored for the swap process. Each case after the soft deadline will be reviewed and handled on a case by case basis.


We welcome all questions. If you see any potential issues, let us know.

Another quick update, we are pushing to get everything setup for the launch of DNotes 2.0 and our first round of funding. The white paper is finished, thank you to everyone who contributed, hundreds of hours have been invested in this alone. DNotes Global, Inc. website is complete with the exception of the pitch deck and associated video. Tim's video is almost complete (and looking awesome!). Working with Tim and Ken on the pitch deck. DNotesVault & CryptoMoms upgraded design in the works.

Still looking to recruit a social media manager.

As a reminder, if anyone has any comments or questions on the initial process for the DNotes 2.0 swap:

Good Afternoon Dyna,

Im quite excited that you are launching the new platform next week.

I was following this thread about the other coins doing the same thing as Dnotes.

ETC is already availible on centra wallet and also planning that can use it as a visa card. Centra being the payment gateway and also uquid.  Are you saying that its going to take years for notes to catch up? shurely if these commodoties have already passed these regulatory detils it should not take that long for dnote to do so too.

I have invested a bit into dnotes and look forward to seeing the white paper.
