Cheers, Darth. Rarely check in here any more. Same stuff. I guess former posters who actually know what the go is don't post here any more (with a few exceptions, I see). Anyway, here's my two cents (sorry about that analogy):

Is this it for Limewire? Where does that leave Qtrax? (or BLLN, I should say.)
Go ahead,Darth, make our day! LOL.
Is there anyone here who's worked for BLLN by the way? I've often wondered.
How are the p2p's going? You know the ones?

Won't be posting any further info on this site. GLTA.

Maybe people are hearing something positive on this play.
you have no proof, you know that, only heresay. Listen to me, I hear.
you hope, don't you. Christmas is coming, dude! you'll have to slow yer ass down wont you eh. Yank!
so, you've heard nothing apparently?
My prediction, imo, only:
the china launch planned for 17th will not take place. So don't get all sweaty! Christmas is coming, or thereafter.
WHAT a total waste of time and space here!
They are dealing with Asia now, not finance gunslingers. If you thought dotting i's and crossing t's was time consuming in the United States, you ain't seen nothing yet. This should even be an eye-opener for AK, as well as most here obviously. Asian business is slim on words and big on analysis, the polar opposite of some other cultures we know about. When they get the funding you will hear about it. Then the model has to work. So how about zipping it for a while, it is very tedious.
you mean if they get the funding? apparently.
He doesn't care if it takes 10years? That's great, because it's already taken over 7, so not that much longer to wait I guess.
very big change in perspective for you.
Any company that has a track record like this, then misses every single launch that it publicly and officially announced has a credibility problem.
sell them to your broker. What, doesn't he want them now?
you hope!
"should be", that ultimate disclaimer. sounds precarious to me.
Don't think, Darth. DO. How's the funding going? Think about it.
better than a fire sale bargain eh. How's the funding going, eh, Darth? Not much going to happen without that. Oh, I see, you're recommending averaging down now. Right. That's comforting.
Tell globalguard he needs to gather about one thousand friends to buy about half a million shares each, starting right now, we want this to get to a dollar. Then, AFTER the launch, varooom eh. Go ahead, guys, you can do it, only $25K each. Baaaargain.Step right up.
I like the speech immediately before Kent's:
"It’s Not About the Plan, It’s About Executing the Plan: Crucial Techniques for Strategy Execution & Implementation"
I hope Kent passes on the message to AK. Before they go under, that is.
Globalguard, can you please hook into the stream of that speech and tell us what they say.
You keep getting things almost right, but not quite there. Again, you are talking about ideas, not reality. Those ideas are old news, not new. People have been saying this for years.
And just so you're clear on this, that article, dated today, hot off the press as you say, says that Qtrax has just launched in Australia. Well, it hasn't, has it. But there's another good idea that hasn't reached reality yet. That is generous of you to guarantee an explosion in pps when the launch didn't happen. Check it out:
http://www.qtrax.com/#
the end of the month is only 13 days away; or is it 14?
Listen, my friend, and think about this, while you say you are in thinking mode:
EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE saying! They have known that for over seven years. IT IS NOT NEW! How long have you been in this stock?
THE PROBLEM IS: IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, NOT WHETHER QTRAX IS A GOOD IDEA OR NOT.
Just like what you are saying, but it doesn't happen!
You are talking about IDEAS, people want to see some reality.
Now - can you tell us something we don't already know?
Thanks.
Here's something to think about: WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE ONLY 800m SHARES OUTSTANDING? You read it somewhere didn't you.
And another thing for you to think about, my friend: I think they do not have the funding, because if they did they would have announced it to somebody, and it would be on this board. Now, they did not announce it to YOU, did they? Or anyone else for that matter apparently. That means they haven't got it. That is their track record. If you were here long enough you would know that.
Now - if they don't have the funding, the launch isn't imminent as you say it is. So why do you say it is imminent? Because you think it should be? or do you actually know something that no one else does. I doubt it. But you go ahead and tell us. We are all ears.
you're beginning? to think? Good luck with that, I hope the price doesn't drop further for you.
what you usually say doesn't usually happen. Are you worried that the price will go below what you bought your shares for?
maybe you should sell before the pps drops any further.
I don't think so.
Thanks Chewy. (I did read that a long time ago.)
Wow, and to think at one stage I was the only one griping about this! As I've said before, it has been like this for 7 years, not two, or two and a half or whatever. The irony is that now that it is at the line - now money is an issue. Talk about drinking all your water before you get to the desert!
...and if that's right that these deadlines have been put on AK by someone else, that's a good thing, I would think. Now it's got to get done, no more stuffing around. The chips are down.
Allan is lying low apparently. Way down under.
People are buying ahead of the big news.
"until the first quarter"...LOL.
If you're right, I don't think they are going to have a very merry Christmas at all.
I think we have a right to be well over *humble* at this stage. A lot of people sound like they'd rather kick ass than be humble. Couldn't blame them really.
"I just dont beleive AK would have announced launch dates with out a capital comittment. And now he is just waiting for this section of funds to be deposited." indy.
Ahm, I'd believe it; but hey, I'm invested in this, so I don't know what that says about my credibility.
Excellent, nothing like a bit of sweating it out themselves, for a change.
if this *funding* is from Asian sources, I would think it would be delivered in parts gradually, and the sources will watch the performance along the way, just imo. I think things are done more like that there, than just stack all the cash on the table at one time. Performance is the motivation for putting in more venture capital, not that all the venture capital at one time is the motivation for performance. An Excellent and Prudent Plan in these circumstances I would have thought. Cultural differences East compared to West, just imo. In any event, there seems at least to be a better balance right now between performance (provided they actually do it) and talk. Tenuous balance, but better. Slightly. (Well, maybe.)
relax. with time zone differences, if there is to be an Australian launch today, it will likely be between 5pm and 1am tonight US Eastern time. East Australian time is 16 hours ahead of US eastern at this time of the year. AK and the team are probably asleep right now, may not be at the wheel again until around 3pm today. If there is news of a launch any day now, it will likely be in the middle of the night US time, which should make the next NYSE opening interesting.
There is no news at all on Australian wires at the moment - and no reason to be because it's the middle of the night, and, they haven't launched yet anyway. I doubt whether there will be until the actual launch.
I doubt that would be the grounds of the complaint to the SEC do you? If it is actually made.
If this had launched on 29 October when they promised, or even then on 5th, as they promised, that article would not have appeared, imo.
I agree, and it is entirely AK's fault that it has got to this stage. They have had it coming they should have seen that. Anyway, there is a long timeframe involved in these sorts of things, IF he launches as promised and the model works that will be apparent or not before any action commenced. I'm not particularly concerned about it for the next few weeks.
sure is harmful, but they have left themselves totally and predictably vulnerable to exactly this sort of thing happening. Yes, the source seems biased. These launches need to go ahead as promised, or I think he is in a ton of crap. You can tell shareholders whatever, but the SEC is another matter.
Doesn't have to be the "majority of shareholders" to make a complaint. I guess it's about too many broken promises. Frankly I'm amazed this didn't happen years ago.
