Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 18, 2013) - Winrock Resources Inc. (CNSX: WR) has formed a wholly owned subsidiary, ‘Newnote Networks Inc', to facilitate its newly developed Bitcoin Exchange among other cryptocurrency related initiatives.

The Puretrade Bitcoin Exchange will be made available to Canadian residents in Q1 2014. The exchange enables clients to buy & sell Bitcoin, create market orders, limit orders and much more. The trading platform is part of an international Bitcoin Exchange initiative in which Newnote Networks Inc. has secured Canada as its territory.

As an additional value added service, Newnote Networks offers Bitcoin Gift Cards available in various denominations. Cards are delivered by mail and activated through the Newnote website. Gift card holders choose when to activate the cards as Bitcoin is purchased at the moment of activation at our best bided price.

Simultaneously, Newnote is in the final stages of offering a new philanthropic cryptocurrency ‘CryptoAid'. There are over 70 cryptocurrency alternatives to Bitcoin, each with its own characteristics. CryptoAid is the world's first charity coin. Each generated block gives 15% of the reward to the coin-miner and the remaining 85% to charity. The general public can vote on where the coins should be spent and which charities, individuals or worthy causes should receive a donation. The closest other cryptocoin would be Devcoin. Devcoin is an ethically inspired project created to help fund open source projects created by programmers, hardware developers, writers, musicians, painters, graphic artists and filmmakers.

Newnote Networks has retained the services of Brian Onn. Mr. Onn is a seasoned hardware and software engineer with over 25 years of industry experience in real-time market data delivery, data warehousing, Internet services, digital financial services, and EFT and retail services. He has held management and leadership roles at TIBCO Software, TIBCO Finance, Sun Microsystems, and NCR Corporation.
