Agreed
For starters... it's not up to Thom when this happens.
And, my guess is this has been stalled due to ongoing settlement negotiations.
All that can happen here is to be patient... or sell.
Every lawsuit I have been involved in has each level trying to get the parties to agree to settlement and avoid wasting more of anyone else's time.
The more I think about the latest infringer being sued... the more I believe our counsel had us do it to show we can't have a simple cash settlement. We need the findings as we have others to sue.
I am weary but have the good sense to play elsewhere while this works it's way through the system.
We have the best working on this. It will be very good.
Is this the Friday we've been waiting for?
Oct 16th next week...
Oct starts on Tuesday... I think this heats up as we ride towards the 16th. Not asking anyone to do anything... no pump here.. just keep an eye out. Cheers.
It does seem like NEWS will pop this quick... I agree, time to add.
I believe they did.
Thanks
So much is about to happen here with GenCanna... Shorts are speechless and Longs not excited about a possible Massive Payday?
Just Tumbleweeds....
Have a Good Weekend.
Speaking of which... Patent, when is your next article coming out?
It would seem we are really close...
Thanks Old Owl for this reminder. It has been awhile, I would love to see the excitement we had here years ago here when all the possibilities ran wild and on what? Nothing compared to what we have today. My experience is this is how the Law works. It beats and beats down on you taking away the joy AND that's why you bring in the best Attorneys in their field to let the Infringers know we aren't going anywhere and we DEMAND Justice.
Let's get this one in the History Books as an Epic Win against IP Bullies.
With every step forward we increase our Award and they lose.
Have a great Weekend.
Excellent point.
Have a good weekend :)
Beautifully covered, thanks PHX85
Excellent find, thanks.
Here it is again:
Gold In E-waste Valued at $22 Billion Thrown Away In 2016, New Study Shows
Itronics’ Breakthrough E-Waste Recycling Technology Recovers All of the Gold from Circuit Boards in E-Waste

RENO, Nev., Jan. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itronics Inc. (OTC:ITRO) a diversified producer of GOLD’n GRO zinc fertilizers and silver products and a green technology development Company, today reported that a newly released study shows that $22 billion of gold (500 metric tonnes or 16 million troy ounces) was thrown away worldwide in electronics' waste in 2016.
The joint study entitled: “The Global E-Waste Monitor 2017” was released by the U.N. University (UNU), the International Telecommunication Union, and the International Solid Waste Association. The gold is in the electronic circuitry in e-waste which is defined in the report as anything that has a plug or battery.
According to the World Gold Council 146.9 million troy ounces of gold (4,571 metric tons) were produced worldwide in 2016. About 70 percent or 104 million ounces were mined, and about 30 percent or 42 million ounces were recycled. In 2016 the amount of gold thrown away in e-waste worldwide was equal to 15 percent of world mine production, a very significant amount of loss.
The report also notes that 51 million troy ounces of silver (1,600 metric tonnes) valued at about $1 billon is also thrown away in the e-waste. Vast amounts of other valuable metals including copper, tin, and palladium are also in the e-waste that is thrown away. The report estimates that 45 million metric tons of e-waste were generated worldwide in 2016.
Itronics’ President Dr. John Whitney stated: "These e-waste scrap statistics including the amount of gold and other valuable metals lost worldwide are staggering. They demonstrate that the market our breakthrough e-waste recycling technology is targeting is very large and growing on a worldwide scale. We not only recover the gold and silver, but the other valuable metals, such as copper, tin and palladium."
Itronics is now operating its breakthrough e-scrap refining technology, which processes computer circuit boards extracted from e-waste, at its manufacturing plant in Reno, Nevada. The circuit boards are converted into silver bullion and silver-bearing glass which are sold, completely eliminating the waste from the environment by converting it to commercial products. The Company plans to expand the refining capacity in stages over the next 3 years to a much larger scale. Longer term, the Company plans to build an even larger e-scrap refining facility at a separate location in northern Nevada which will service the United States market.
Itronics has pioneered the development of value-added hazardous waste recycling that converts demetallized liquid photochemical waste into silver bullion and a liquid ingredient used to manufacture the line of high quality GOLD’n GRO liquid fertilizers, said Dr. Whitney. “Itronics is now pioneering and has achieved operational proof of concept for its second 'Zero Waste' technology, the breakthrough e-scrap refining technology."

Some details for you to consider;
RENO, Nev., Sept. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itronics Inc. (OTC:ITRO), an Innovative Greentech Fertilizer, Silver, and Mineral Producer, reported today that it is developing breakthrough technology Rock Kleen to replace its previously validated KAM-Thio fluid for neutralization of residual cyanide, and recovery of residual silver, gold, and metal oxides from silver/gold heap leach mine tailings.
The new Rock Kleen chemistry is manufactured from virgin ingredients and is based on more than 30 years of experience with similar fluids manufactured from spent photographic liquids. The Company has been working on chemical replacement of spent photographic chemistry used in its GOLD’n GRO fertilizers and for the KAM-Thio rock cleaning fluid for several years in anticipation that spent photoliquid supply might decline and be insufficient to support GOLD’n GRO fertilizer sales growth.
Itronics is “bench marking” the Rock Kleen system using samples supplied by Comstock Mining and it has entered into an agreement with a second silver company with 12 times the tailing tonnage to test Rock Kleen on previously leached silver ore with a high residual silver content and complex silver mineralogy. Testing Rock Kleen is presently underway on heap leach tailings materials from the second mine, and from Comstock Mining. These tests are further validating this breakthrough technology for application in the mining industry to achieve zero waste.
“We have known for the last few years that the supply of silver-bearing photoliquids could diminish to levels that might not support large scale growth of the GOLD’n GRO fertilizer sales,” said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. “We decided that developing Rock Kleen for the silver/gold mine tailings reprocessing application would provide an excellent opportunity to test the new technology. We believe that the new chemistry will work very well in the GOLD’n GRO fertilizers as well. Sales of GOLD’n GRO Fertilizers are up over 62% for the first 6 months of 2019 compared to the prior year.
“The transition to virgin chemistry has relieved our existing customers concerns about future supply availability and opens up opportunities to develop new markets without being limited by concerns about raw material availability. This is good news for everyone who uses or plans to use our fertilizer and chemical products and technology. This also substantiates the good news for our shareholders, lenders and other stakeholders, of our continuing successful progress moving forward” Dr. Whitney said. Itronics expects to transition to virgin chemicals for all of its liquid products over the next three years. Itronics still plans to use spent photoliquids for some of its needs as long as it is economical to do so, and continues to recycle it to zero waste.

This is what I found... Anyone know anything different?
As of December 31, 2018, we own an approximately 2,994,697 shares in MariMed Inc.
I imagine like most of the fortune 500 companies, they are also a Delaware based company (not saying they too are a fortune 500..just similar tactic).
Well, if you came to LODE looking for just a NV based miner... I think you could have picked from a long list of others which will do ok mining but not great. LODE has its focus on the Environment and using established tech to increase the value of the land while making money through cleaning said land. It will generate money from the cleaning through government programs, the collection of precious metals it recovers while it cleans, and from helping other companies do the same. It can monetize the tech in several ways which include licensing, sales, contract work, etc.
4 Patents are pending for the tech and many companies use the products of our partners for many years already. Brand recognition.
AND, the kicker? As it increases the value of the land by removing toxins like Mercury, it has a real estate arm that will reap the benefits of the increase in value of the properties.
All this on top of earning royalties from letting others focus on the mining while it builds out the rest of it's businesses.
But... if you want a Miner 'only', this is not for you. Beyond Meat has shown how tech that serves the Environment can really do well.
Actually... you might not realize that there are companies that wildcat then sell to established Miners. Either you don't know the difference between Exploration Cos and Miners or you chose to mislead.
By the way, Oro is proven tech so... again you are wrong.
Short if you wish but don't act like you know mining if you believe what you have written here today.
Mad,
not to split hairs but read what you wrote... it IS a matter of perceived better price. No worries.
It is your take on the situation
Does someone know how many shares of MRMD WDDD still owns?
I ask because the private CO Gencanna which is 33% owned by MRMD
https://gencanna.com/
made this announcement (yesterday):
GenCanna Global, Inc. (“GenCanna” or the “Company”) announced today that it has engaged Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (Goldman Sachs) to serve as a financial advisor to assist the Company in evaluating an initial public offering and other strategic alternatives.
Which I imagine would do very well for WDDD as well. I bring this up not only because MRMD is climbing again which is good for WDDD but shows our Warchest is in great shape and could be part of backing behind yesterday's announcement on going after 2nd Life.
Things are popping here... and it's about time.... right Old Owl ;)
Just most? ;)
Thanks.
Probably not... like a serial long... a serial 'better pricing is coming' suffers from the same reluctance to act.
I expect he is looking for a 'confirmation' which is smart but always comes with a premium.
I think we have enough experience and information to pull the trigger on adding here but that's me speaking about my own $$$.
Each to his/her own.
Cheers
Well said.
I agree 100%
Anything anyone suggests as a price target here is purely speculation.
There are several moving parts that include how much/little longs want to let go of their positions and how much new investors want in.
Thom has been an excellent steward of WDDDs resources so far. I expect as worthy news items are generated, his PR people will get them out. I see a future of much more publicity as WDDDs moment is coming into the spotlight.
As long as we've all been here... it's really just the beginning of getting paid. I know I will be continuing to add and I'm confident that many others will be doing the same.
It took awhile... that's what Mad had right.... but now, prices will be going up with every confirmation we are going in the right direction to adding infringers, etc... that's the part I have always felt made chasing not acceptable here.
Well... this is BULLISH!
Here we go UP
Ha,ha... that was just a side effect... but still nice to see.
Well,
since you asked... it is a tactic to fish and see if there are hidden Asks.
...And I am the one who did it. Today we have seen a respectful amount of shares change hands. Does it mean anything? I think not. There are some retail wannabe MMs here and I believe one just took a hit today by putting up a wall they figured would drive down the share price allowing them to pick up cheaper shares. The reverse appears to have happened. Now they will have to wait and hope or simply buy in at a higher price.
Or put another way... Looks like it didn't work.
As a test, I bought 100 shares at .29 and it got filled lower by an invisible ask that didn't show on my level 2.
There will be plenty of games being played here as nerves get racked and fear/greed run the gambit.
I am very confident that at this price and with 6 solid claims locked in, we are good on the long side. Everything else is simply how high we can go.
I don't see Thom selling anything here for several more years.
It is surprising to see so much volume at this time.
Impatience?
Interesting all the same.
So... you're stressed.
Stop watching! This is still early days. We have time on our side.
I have been working in the Courts for over 15 years. We have a saying... the longer the better. It's looking mighty fine here.
Have a great weekend :)
Agreed!
It's August... still.
Most of North America is enjoying the last of Summer. Some here may forget but this is the long weekend of Labor Day coming up... which traditionally means you need to stop wearing white as Summer will then be over ;)
Sept will bring answers...
The tension on this Board has increased considerably in the last few weeks. If you feel you need to sell... I understand but I can't see a dip in this stock as anything other than an EPIC buying opportunity. I have some dry powder at the ready... and I already own a fair chunk.
For your consideration: My Firm has cases pending across the US and of the Court dates we have had in June, July, & August... 40% which normally would have settled in those months are still pending... They are still open with the Judges demanding further exhibits! In the past 14 years I have not since this! Patience.... it's the only answer for us at this time.

When that happens... it usually means someone is trying to make it look like someone dumping rather than someone accumulating.
Time will tell us the truth and who was right.. the Seller or the Buyer. :)
I have a nice bottle of Bunnahabhain XXV that I bought for $400 about 3 years ago with the expectation of opening it once we hit at least $5/Share. I feel we are getting much closer than ever... but I did buy it 3 years ago and I never expected it would still be closed all these years later :)
With the spike in volume... I thought something had come out. First it hit .30$ then dropped.
I guess we'll see.
Did you buy more?
Sounds like a Plan! You've got some KW years on me.. I moved to Boca Raton from the (Very) Left Coast in 2010. KW first visit was 2011.
You the one picking up all those shares today or was that Mad?
Curious if the guy who put up the wall really meant to sell or just tried to intimidate to get some cheaper shares.
Have a good weekend!

I live in Florida and hang in KW a lot (Big fan of Pepe's). I just hadn't been out to the Dry Tortugas... always mean to but finally got it done.
I hear ya... The Conch Republic looks very different these days. Irma didn't help.
WDDD has been a ride as well. Litigation is tricky beast but I still like what I see here all adrenaline aside. Over the years I have personally met the real https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Brockovich (played by Julia Roberts on the big screen) and Jan Schlichtmann who A Civil Action is based on (played by John Travolta) among many others in the Mass Tort Arena as part of my Day job.
I knew this wouldn't be easy or quick but I have relooked at this one a million times+ and actually feel better today than ever.
For those unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conch_Republic
Best part about Stocks... we all have our own theories, strategies, and should be good stewards of our resources.
I just don't see the advantage of jumping out of an illiquid stock with so much potential and once the long hold Capital tax is employed, chasing makes even less sense... for those advocating to be on the sidelines here. I'm sure you know of whom I speak.
Cheers
Hope to see you down here soon :)
Conch Nation Baby!
I hope she enjoys our way of life as much as I do.
Many want to but never get the break they need to afford the move.
I understand many here are hoping for cheaper shares but... I hope they at least have a core position.
When the rocket fires... chasing gets expensive.
Awesome!
It is an amazing place that not many Americans know about.
I love undiscovered gems like that... I guess that's why I love WDDD.
This baby here (WDDD) is a gem and to give an an analogy... I like to play BlackJack and play every once and again. I do fairly well. When I play, usually people like to come and watch. I play in the VIP and I guess my style is unconventional. Over the years I've been asked many times what my secret was and it took me several years to understand my advantage. Around 2 years ago I believe I figured it out. In Blackjack everyone thinks you are playing against the House but in reality they are just the ones dealing the cards. You are playing against yourself. Don't let fear guide your movements. Follow the cards... know when to hit, when to stay, and when to surrender. Use the odds in your favor... not fear.
I checked in on XSPA today and anyone who was into Vringo knows why. There are still some folks there from the old days... they should have walked away at least 2 years ago (in my opinion).
In contrast... I added here today... just a little but I won't let fear turn me away from what I believe will be a life changing win.
GLTA
It is YOUR money and a prudent move.
How much of today was real?
Short covering?
Seed buying to spark a run?
Real story is not proved by Third Party coverage (yet).
Better to be careful.
