I am still here folks holding long and strong. I have found no other copyright protection company with a better idea to monetize the artists work. It's just gonna take a big name to get this stock much higher! I can see a reverse split in the future and $IMTL trading on the Big Boy exchange. I am heading on 2-year's LONG! Hold tight, we should see some interesting numbers. Lawrence ain't throwing good money after bad; he knows much more than we do, and he speaks volumes with those form 4's! HOLD ON, 2019, could be the year they start the engine on $IMTL! I also notice that once again Lawrence purchased with what appears to be reckless abandon, not caring to wait for better pricing on those recent form 4's. Very interesting, indeed.

It is my personal feeling we will have a better idea of how IMTL IPShare technology is being received by her customers sometime next month. I am going on nearly 2-years of owning MASSIVE amounts of share in this company and only now am I getting the feeling the market is primed and ready for this kind of copyright protection technology. I just read an article that Kim Kardashian is walking around with a full-time photographer and suing paparazzi for selling her images. I have added a link to an article 5-months old that is telling the story that we may, indeed, be on the ground floor of a new burgeoning internet copyright industry. How can you monetize the unknown? How can value this space when the infringements are seemingly endless. All we need is to host the images of a big name model, actor, or band, and it's off to the races. If this technology is real, how long before the company is offered huge money in a buyout offer? A few more years are left to determine if this is going to be the company to take this industry forward.

With IPShare, an artist (any kind of artist) can control the sale and distribution of their images and video content. I have decided to hold all my shares and not pay too much attention to IMTL until we get some news that will determine if my investment is safe, or if this is just another penny game scam!

Buyers are stepping up en masse'. I think some news will be coming soon. The buyers are seriously outnumbering the sellers! Strange trading today, indeed!
Merry Xmas all!

I watched the days trading and noticed sellers were not going to let go of $IMTL for much less than .0074. I found the days trading very interesting. It appears the MM is going to try and drive the price up. I see this again, as I have successfully predicted before, a prelude to some news. Not sure what they can tell us that is new, but today's trading was very odd considering the low volume. I am optimistic. Color me stupid!
Merry Xmas Y'all!

My guess is they are gonna try and pump this a few times in the next 3 months. Set your sell order for .03 with trailing stop. It's gonna take forever for me to get out of this stock, and Lawrence holding 12 mil shares is starting to seem like "not" a good enough reason to hold $IMTL. As a shareholder, I need to be updated on what's been going on with things like crowd-funding, ICO, and the plan to gain greater market access. They have been known to be hyperbolic on their PR's. At this point, I would rather the company is overexposed rather than hiding in the shadows of its own industry! Set it up to be sold! That's all I ever wanted was IMTL to build a business model greater than their ability to manage and sell the company off to the players that can make it grow.
I don't see that written anywhere. They have a total off 600000000 shares with 250859629 outstanding. I don't see an offering for the share price you're referencing? I believe FMV for the outstanding shares is .0067, according to their math, which means we go down a bit more. Still doesn't make sense why Lawrence would buy 6 million shares at above .0067. But, what do I know!
I think this MM is setting this up for a big move higher. I get the feeling that there are big players here now and they will get positioned before we go.
I really believe this company has a plan. It doesn't mean it will work, but they are gonna give it a go. How do you value a tech company? I think the magic number short term is, $.05. (fragmented sentences by design)
Well, that was some valuable information! Thanks! The website indicated they had sold about 650k. I wish they would have a shareholders meeting so we can clear up some of these ambiguities. I am not ticker obsessed. If the company is heading in a direction that looks and feels good to me, I am in for the long haul, regardless where the stock is trading -- I just wish there was a bit more transparency.
The company raised money through crowdfunding (minivest.com) for .015 a share which ended around June 2018. I believe those shares could not be sold until November 2018 (This is based off memory). I also think they raised 650k out of the 1 million attempted. This could account for some unusual volume. I am curious to who or whom the rest of the outstanding shares were offered too? Could be this MM I just heard about was allocated some shares, maybe some of these new people they have helping them with this new business model could have been paid in shares. The company does not wish to clue us in on the particulars of their business activities, after all, we're just the shareholders. Some of us hold MILLIONS of shares! There is no way they could have pumped 100+ million shares onto the open market because the volume would account for it, so these shares went somewhere. There was a note being held my Jonathan Thomas for about 50k (again by memory) convertible at some point (can't remember, busy trading other stocks), so maybe there is info that might help. If anyone purchased their ICO, which I heard didn't go well, they may have converted those tokens into shares.
I don't own enough shares to ever get an answer out of this company, nevertheless, my ship sails next to Lawrence's; either off to paradise or it sinks at sea.
I am not sure how long $IMTL has been using https://paulsoninvestment.com, but I own IIPR and noticed from their website they represented that IPO. That stock has almost tripled in 2-years. I am thinking $IMTL is retooling and foresee's exponential future growth. Lawrence has a lot of money invested in this little company and did it in a real hurry. To me, this says a lot about what might be coming down the pipe. I have a bad taste in my mouth about this company, their inability to be open to investor questions, share dilution, hyperbolic PR on growth from the previous business model, BUT, Lawrence's recent doubling of his position with seemingly reckless abandon made me give them another chance. I have been in this long, I can wait until the end of Q1 to see if there is anything here to offer.
I can see $IMTL on my ThinkOrSwim Platform (TDAmeritrade).
I am under the presumption that everyone is aware of the most recent Form 4s? The ones filed 11/19? Usually, you guys are way ahead of me, but just in case, I will post a link:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001110648
If this is redundant information please forget it. Lawrence owns nearly 12 million years and nearly doubled his position in November.

It's been easy to predict the recent PR's by this company. You're starting to see some nice price action a few days before the PR drop. I am now expecting to see more PR's in an effort to support the price and continue the volume. The true gift to the shareholder will come Q1 2019. I will know then if I will stick around for the Long Long haul, or try and get out.
Now we are gonna see IPShare in action. If this company can earn $.05 a share and trade 20 times earnings, that's $1.00 a share and a 240 million or so market cap. That still is a TINY tech company, micro-tech, if you will! A 1 for 5 reverse split and we're trading on the NASDAQ. Just thinking out loud. Prolly being a bit more optimistic than I should but why not.
If this company has something really going on we should see some nice volume in the days to come as investors position themselves for what's coming. If this is all smoke and mirrors, the volume will dry up and the share price will degrade.
I am just being facetious because before I saw the latest form-4's and the last PR, complaining seemed like all I was doing.
We got a nice pop today. We should see some price retracement which is normal as we clear out the old hands. I am looking forward to the next PR. This is a long-term investment for me, so as long as the company has a vision and can work towards that vision, I don't care if we fall back below a penny. I am in for the long haul. I have done a year and can see me doing another year, easily. Besides, it will be interesting to see how this company intends to grow and get to be a spectator; a fly on the outside wall. I am LONG!
The share price is no concern to me right now. What I am concerned with is what is causing this sudden rise in volume. We are clearing out the weak hands and new investors will be holding at higher levels. I am interested in the first quarter of next year and the PR I am expecting by years end. I didn't buy this company to day-trade it. I bought it so I had something to complain about, and for once in my life have a chance at being in on the ground floor of a tech company. If we get the kind of PR I am thinking we might get, we could be trading on the NASDAQ in less than 5 years. I think there is a lot to look forward to and time is now a friend and not an enemy. We need IMTL to clear up some ambiguities i.e., ICO, MINIVEST, and the plan for marketing. The people running this little company are not young. They don't have 10 years to build a tech business (IMHO). It appears they have some young guns moving IMTL into the 21st-Century.
I have not sold. I was trading other stuff when alerts on IMTL went off. I saw this account jump. I am in at .017, I don't care if the price bounces around as long as the company has a plan for the business and is honest with the shareholders. The growth potential is exponential. You can't blame anyone for selling and making a nice profit for Xmas. As for me, I will be here to complain, for the long term. That trading action is sick! When all the sellers are cleared out people will be holding at higher levels. I am almost positive there will be PR soon.
3.5 mil traded in the first 4 minutes! WOW!!!!
I have become very impressed with the design of the Image Protect website. It's user-friendly and has the up-to-date Dashboard GUI. I cannot find any section having to do with IMAGE tokens and revenue regarding these token including amount owned, revenue generated, and the ability to sell or purchase these tokens. The Tokens are also not listed on any of the crypto exchanges.
If anyone has information regarding these tokens, can you update the group for us? IMTL will not respond to my emails but seems to know who I am. I am sure we would all appreciate the information.
Best,
Biff
Happy Thanksgiving ALL and let's hope Santa brings us a nice $IMTL present, gift wrapped with a share price of.05 or better :)
It's starting to look like investors are interested in getting in on what they feel may be the ground floor of this fledgling company. If $IMTL can follow this nice volume and uptick in the trading price with some NEWS, we could get more attention and see .05 by the end of the year.
What is making this company interesting is:
--Use of the blockchain in the business model.
--The seemingly unlimited growth potential.
--The IPShare "Trade Mark" software.
--A new approach to monetizing images for both the website owner and the artist. This is a new approach and one I have not found anywhere else.
--Again the growth potential in the first few years in GINORMOUS with exponential growth possible, monthly.
--CEO doubling his investment in the last form 4's indicates to me that there is something happening behind the scenes getting ready to be released in a PR. I'm guessing we will hear that we have taken on a big name.
[Downside]
--The company has not been very open or transparent with investors in the past.
--The financials were a pure joke indicating they had tripled the size of the business by going from 1 copyright infringement to 3!
--The company didn't want to answer questions from shareholders with respect to financials.
--The company didn't want to return emails regarding any non-financial related questions; namely my questions!
--The company never revealed they were nearly doubling the size of the O/S and what the money is being used for.
--The company has not updated the shareholder about the ICO and if we have outstanding coins that will draw 10 percent of the revenue.
--The company has not explained what the MINIVEST money was used for.
[Opinion]
I believe $IMTL had changed its vision at some point in the last year and a half. It started when the ICO market ran up and companies were bringing in millions selling coins/tokens on the open market. Then, one of these advisors realized the benefit of the blockchain to $IMTLs new business model and proprietary software. They changed the vision, the business model, and built $IMTL around the blockchain. I believe it has a real chance of success. It may be that when calculating the exponential growth possibility, the CEO needed technical assistance in this area (Hence the dual CEO's) as it is not his area of expertise.
My hopes are we are a takeover target at some point! This is my dream.
I am still holding and not letting any share go. It was hard not to let 500k go for some extra cash, but I held firm to my conviction to stick around to see what happens.
I am thinking (something my wife is firmly against me doing) that even with the increase in O/S's that you just don't pick up that many shares with such reckless abandon. CEO has something cooking. The growth potential of this company is limitless. And if there is anything I have learned owning this penny stock is patience. Even at $1 per share, the value would be considered nominal considering today's tech valuations!
I am in for the long haul. I can do another year knowing the CEO is standing with me to protect his interest and mine!
Best,
Biff
This is the best news I have seen in a long time. There is a method to IMTL's madness. It could be IMTL has been working diligently on testing IPShare(TM) and also working on big clients. If IPShare works as it has been described ppl, we are looking at a new innovative technology for picture sharing and revenue generation, unlike anything I have seen thus far. The use of the blockchain as the backbone of IPShare(TM) puts IMTL at the cutting edge of this technology and could very well make them a target for purchase/takeover! The CEO seeks to seal his place and power with as many shares as he can get -- with the recent share purchasing by the CEO, he knows something we don't! 2019 may prove to be very exciting for all of us. This is the first time in a LONG TIME I am excited about owning shares in this company again! Hell, I am stupid enough to buy more!
These are very exciting times friends. Many things could be on the table. But before we start buying our yachts, there are still a few issues that need to be cleared up:
ICO sales and information along with details.
The marketing plan for growth.
And an estimated time profitability.
Hell, we could be trading on the big boy exchange in a few years!
I am glad I was finally able to contribute something instead of just complaining... LOL!

Image Protect Announces Initial IPShare(TM) Test Data, Indicates Potential Per Month In-Image Ad Shares in-excess of 100 Million by Q1 2019
8:01 am ET November 15, 2018 (Globe Newswire) Print
via OTC PR WIRE -- Image Protect Inc. (OTC:IMTL) (imageprotect.com) ("Image Protect" or the "Company"), a global leader in the end-to-end copyright Infringement sector, is excited to release initial data from the Company's live beta test for its new IPShare(TM) model, a comprehensive digital image infringement protection and monetization system driven by the IPShare(TM) in-image advertisement marketplace. The initial test data suggests the company may reach a monthly run rate of 146 million image sharing events per month on the IPShare(TM) platform by the end of Q1 2019.
The Beta Test consisted of a diverse set of 500 images on the IPShare(TM) model tracked over the course of 60 days. 78% of the images were shared. Of those shared, each image was shared an average of 74.94 times, adding up to 29,228 total image sharing events. The Company is setting its initial target for total live images on the IPShare(TM) platform at 5 million by the end of Q1 2019. If this goal is reached, then this initial test run data suggests a run rate of 146 million in-image ad sharing events per month by the end of Q1 2019.
The Company is currently refiguring its projections for larger websites such as Buzzfeed and WordPress for the hard launch.
Lawrence Adams, Company CEO, stated, "This first controlled test confirms many of our core assumptions about the potency of the IPShare(TM) model and the strategic pivot that it represents for Image Protect. We are thrilled to see these results. Image Mobility was above our expectations. The model presumes that sharing events are monetizable, and this level of rapid sharing of images in such a short amount of time suggests a very robust demonstration of the validity of the IPShare approach."
The company is in talks with major brands, celebrities, and influencers to make them aware of the IPShare model and marketplace as a resource for both monetizing and protecting the value of their digital representations and messaging efforts online.
About IPShare
Image Protect finds millions of editorial websites using their client's photos. As an option to the standard DMCA takedown notice, IPShare(TM) generates a block of code that allows photos to be copied and pasted into any website - similar to code references on sites that embed Youtube or Vimeo content. It's as simple as copying and pasting the embed code into the user's website template, i.e., WordPress, Blogger, SquareSpace, Wix, etc. The image is then instantly transformed into an online billboard, containing in-image advertising, hot links, social sharing and dynamic messaging. This is turning the traditional Copyright Infringement model into a cooperative relationship for both parties.
About Image Protect
Image Protect protects and monetizes creative works. By uniting technology with a team of copyright experts, we ensure that content providers preserve the value of their digital assets. Our web application monitors the global Internet to seek and collect evidence for illegally used visual content.

I just received this email from Image Protect this morning. Let's see if Image Protect is putting the effort into their product to back this token!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Johnny!
This is just a reminder email and followup. Remember that you can click here to visit your personal share page at any time.
Image Protect uses blockchain technology to create a new paradigm where both content creators and publishers are fairly compensated for their work.
Given that our tokens are fully licensed security tokens, participating in the Image Protect bounty program represents a truly unique opportunity.
Why?
Because IMAGE tokens earn a recurring percentage of all the revenue generated by our blossoming ad network!
Believe me, you won't want to sell these tokens on anexchange!
Anyway, please keep your eyes peeled for our emails with exciting new ways to earn stakes in the contest.
Yours,
Image Protect
P.S. Please remember that cheaters won't get their tokens. This is a serious program and we want enthusiastic participants that understand and appreciate the value of our project. Thanks!
Based on the way IMTL was trading the last few days it felt like news was imminent. The problem is the news is nothing very special. IMTL does not appear to be able to connect to its key audience. There has been no ad campaign to speak off, nor a social media blitz to bring attention to the product. I am left to believe based on the latest form 4s that there must be big customers in the bullpen waiting to be revealed. I also predicted here in this thread the downfall of ETH and today is a bloodbath. These smart contracts bother me because the model has been built into IMTL new business structure and we have heard NOTHING about it since the BIG ICO? Does the coin exist? If so, how many were sold? These coin holders are offered 10 percent of the profits! What happened to the money raised from minivest? Without regulations, we may never know this information. I am seriously troubled by this. My only hope is knowing the CEO and I will drown together!
All the recent news feels like it's meant to suppress the angry shareholder.
Appears no ones wants to let their shares go for under .014. Very interesting. Also no one interested in paying more than .0142. I wonder if news is on the horizon as mm's usually trade 5k to 10k between each other just to lower the share price..... Hmmm!!!! We went from a decent volume to no volume. I am guessing news imminent. Buller, Buller?
The website design and ease of use are very encouraging. I am still weirded out by the token sales (if any) and the 10 percent commission owed to those who purchased them. Does anyone know anything about the IMAGE tokens? I am hoping to hear we have new subscribers to Image Protect services and the possibility of a big name coming onboard.
Ruh Roh, I looked at my retirement account and I sold a 100k in that account back in August. I can't remember why... LOL! I was probably pissed off and looking to get out. I might get lucky this ONE time in my life and be on the ground floor of a new tech company. And I still have 2 boatloads of this stock.
It looks like accumulation. Someone is buying ahead of ?????. I have not sold a sing share!
Before I get too excited I need a follow-up PR before the end of the year with some good news to start 2019. Then I can relax in 2019. Like I have stated before, they just need to communicate with John Q Investor.
I have to say that is the most substantive news we have heard in a long time. I wonder if we will get any big names/brands, or corporations to try out the new IPShare soon? I have noticed they have gone back to their roots. They have stayed quiet on the altcoin sales and use case. I wonder if we will find out how that went soon and the future for IMAGE, the token?
I am hopeful once again. The recent form 4's help as well. There are still many unanswered questions, though! I have noticed a more professional look to the IMTL website. It really looks tight and up-to-date in terms of the latest style of GUI. It's the IPShare engine that intrigues me. I am wondering if they will be using blockchain technology to track the images and that is why they stumbled into the ERC-20 contract arena?
Good luck!!!!
I just noticed we closed at the 50d MA. With this breakout, volume and newfound volatility, including recent Form 4's, IMTL might get noticed by new money. If can close above the 50 MA Wednesday we might be in for a trend reversal -- and that leads NORTH. This has been a nice little October surprise. Keep your fingers crossed!
BTW: I have not sold a share, but have given serious consideration to it. If this volume holds I will let 200k shares go at a time and minimize my exposure to this ticker. But, if I see there was a method to this madness, who knows? I am a sucker for punishment and could go another year; without all the complaining, of course. I am just waiting for some news to wet my beak!
Okay, color me skeptical, but maybe something is up behind the scenes. Buying like this just doesn't come out from anywhere. I realize I have beaten this ticker up pretty bad over the months, but come on guys, we have seen some pretty poor decisions made, at least on the surface. I am hoping, for all of us, there is good news behind the canvas. I will no longer type disparaging remarks about IMTL as it really does no good for the group and is bad for morale. I bought this company, I believed in their vision, and I'll stick it out like a bad marriage that needs counseling! I am going to live by the theme, "if you have nothing substantive to offer, then offer nothing."
Good Luck All!
BTW: The crypto markets are going through a bad time right now. The crypto bear market is taking its toll on a great many, and sellers are capitulating driving prices down even further.
So, Lawrence can't handle the responsibilities and needs help running this tiny business! Nothing said about crypto sales. Lawrence and company have handled investors money with complete disregard. This is what they call PR? I would have purchased more shares if I found out Lawrence was GONE! These people are too old to believe they are at the cutting edge of technology. We are investing in an experiment that seems uncertain by those on the inside. IMTL sucks!
Disgusting!
Does anyone know how many tokens the CEO was given? The retail value is $.10 and the stock 1/2 a cent. I believe they are banking on the market from token sales more than stock appreciation. How many times has IMTL changed their business funding plan in the last year? What about the last minute change in the business model. What about the hyperbole they called news that was reported that I mentioned in the previous post. Why haven't they been honest with the financials? Why have they shunned legitimate questions in my emails? Why did they refuse to answer my financial question during their webinar/meeting or whatever you call it? The company has lost track of where they're going, how they should fund the new business model, and scrambled to put together some news for the investor to keep the shareholder at bay. The jig is up, the company is failing on every level. No news, no financial data, no PR, nothing to look forward to but more share loss. At some point, we have to call a spade a spade. I am sympathetic to the cause, but let's be real -- I am down so much it would make most of you ill. But I like gambling; no risk no reward. I am still in waiting for some fake news to get the heck out and mitigate my losses. How many millions of shares does one need to own before hearing someone say, "these levels make for a good entry?" Color me pissed-off, disrespected by management, and nearly ready to drive the share price to as close to zero as I can out of spite!
One year into this dog and nothing to show for it but lies and deceit from IMTL management. I was reviewing some of the old PR's, in particular, the one that indicated a %300 rise in case resolution. It turns out they went from 1 to 3, but the percentage sure looked good! Now we are a crypto funded company with no information on how this ICO is even going. There are now nearly 2k crypto-currencies being traded with news ones joining the market every day. IMTL couldn't market their own business model effectively, stole crowd-funding money, and now believes they can grab big cash riding the ETHEREUM smart contract train. I would have to say that most ICO's dropped their ETH holdings this past year due to crypto bubble burst starting officially in MAY 2018. If IMTL couldn't market their product before, how are they marketing now? I went from an ardent supporter to a disgruntled shareholder. I just thank the good lord above for not letting me throw more good money after bad investing in their failing ICO! This thread has become the dead-zone. A place to watch your money dry up and vent! Those poor crowdfunding investors must be licking their wounds. I don't know much about this company anymore as they seem to be interested in recovering their personal losses and taking off with what they can get and closing up shop (IMHO).
As always, the best to you all. Hope can only take you so close to zero before you have to tap out!
I can't argue with that. It's sad but management has, by their actions, proven your statement to be true!
