Beautiful uptrend, SOUL.
Did someone say, "Turf War"?! i'm in.
Let the good times roll, MELY.
i'm seeing the same, Lowman.
Last time it set up like this it ran the next day from the previous LOD of .05-.10+
Lets see how She plays out.
What would the company gain with an R/s?
nothing.
if it is to up-list, the company will still need to hold the bid above a certain pps, so if it isn't able to trade at lower levels then why would it trade at a higher pps?
ECIG trades just fine. An R/s would be completely pointless-a loss loss for everyone.
and it would make sense to issue shares, and then reverse split how exactly? That would benefit note holders, and the company how exactly?
The CEO said no R/s, so play accordingly, and stop with the seeds of doubt..it isn't a good look.
ECIG trades just fine.
Good luck to you!
Bloody Monday. Loading zone in every sector.
Good luck to all.
ECIG Launches National Advertising Campaign in USA
National advertising campaign in support of the new Advanced Vaping System from FIN®
ECIG’s most successful new product launch with distribution in more than 30,000 accounts in less than 4 months since initial launch
Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd. (OTCBB:ECIG), one of the largest electronic cigarette companies in the world and marketer of electronic cigarette and vapor products brands including VAPESTICK®, FIN®, Victory®, and VIP®, today announced that it has commenced a major new national advertising campaign behind the FIN® Advanced Vaping System in the United States. The campaign supports the expansion of the ECIG’s Advanced Vaping System “AVS”, one of the group’s most successful product launches in its history that has expanded to more than 30,000 accounts in both the United States and Europe.
The new multi-million dollar campaign supports the national distribution that the FIN® AVS has gained in less than 4 months since its initial launch, led by some of the largest pharmacy chains in the United States. The campaign which will run throughout the year, kicked off in late December with an initial wave running throughout the first quarter of 2015, and challenges smokers to try the great taste of FIN® as an alternative to smoking. National and regional radio comprises the bulk of the advertising effort, augmented by an extensive digital marketing and social media campaign, with extensive public relations in support of the overall effort. A large portion of the initial media investment is occurring in the first quarter of the year to build awareness and trial for the FIN® Advanced Vaping System in current retailers and another 15,000 planned outlets in national convenience store chains that begin distribution in the first quarter of 2015.
The Advanced Vaping System from FIN® is the first of its kind in vaping and is the only vaping system that comes with pre-filled V-tanks avoiding the hassle, mess and risk of filling standard vaping systems with open e-liquids. The system also comes with a larger universally compatible battery that provides greater vapor production relative to traditional vaping products and an ‘all-day vape.’ Not only is it an easier and more convenient alternative to other vaping systems, it provides both retailers and consumers the confidence and consistency eliminating any perceived concerns about handling open e-liquids.

Good find. Welcome to the future, ECIG.
Race to Deliver Nicotine’s Punch, With Less Risk
NEUCHATEL, Switzerland — Deep inside a modernist research center on the edge of a mountain lake here, automated smoking machines sample the future of nicotine.
Scientists at Philip Morris International are experimenting with ways to deliver nicotine — Big Tobacco’s addictive lifeblood — that are less hazardous than cigarettes but still pack the drug’s punch and smoking’s other pleasures. The smoking carousels, stuffed with burning cigarettes or glowing electronic devices, are among dozens of high-tech instruments being used.
The rush by Philip Morris and other tobacco companies to develop new ways of selling nicotine is occurring as more consumers are trying e-cigarettes, devices that heat a nicotine-containing fluid to create a vapor that users inhale. While only a small percentage of smokers have switched to the devices — experts say early e-cigarettes did not deliver enough nicotine to satisfy a smoker’s cravings — major tobacco companies are deploying their financial resources and knowledge in a bid to dominate a potentially huge market for cigarette alternatives.
In recent months, several tobacco companies have ramped up nicotine levels in their e-cigarette brands, while others, like Philip Morris International, are starting to introduce slender, tubelike devices that will give users as much nicotine as the real thing by heating, not burning, tobacco. A few months ago, another cigarette maker, British American Tobacco, won approval from British drug regulators to market an inhalable nicotine spray.
“Our efforts are guided by two objectives,” said Dr. Patrick Picavet, the director of clinical assessment for Philip Morris International. “To develop a range of products that can be scientifically substantiated to reduce risks and that are acceptable substitutes for smokers who can’t or aren’t willing to quit.”
The entry of Big Tobacco into the e-cigarette business has set off alarm bells. Public health advocates, pointing to the industry’s documented history of deception about the risks of smoking, question whether cigarette makers want to develop devices to help smokers quit or find new ways to sell nicotine to young people who have never smoked.
“Developing products that satisfy a smoker’s addiction will increase the risk that they will be highly addictive to nonsmokers,” said Matthew L. Myers, the president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
These are not Big Tobacco’s first efforts at mitigating tobacco’s considerable health risks. Beginning in 1980s, Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco made stabs at introducing “safer” cigarettes designed to produce fewer carcinogens. But those products never caught on, and the tobacco industry was seemingly caught flat-footed when upstart companies started selling e-cigarettes, mostly made in China.
The new e-cigarette industry is still tiny, with global sales this year of $5 billion compared with more than $800 billion for tobacco products, according to estimates by Wells Fargo Securities. Still, cigarette companies have hedged their bets by acquiring e-cigarette makers or stepping up their own research efforts.

Along with replicating important sensory aspects of smoking, like taste, the biggest hurdle for the new devices, experts say, is delivering nicotine with the efficiency of a cigarette. Within seconds of taking a drag, a smoker feels the nicotine’s soothing effects because compounds that are produced when tobacco burns are perfectly sized to carry nicotine deep into the lungs allowing the drug to quickly reach the brain. Those same compounds, which are collectively known as tars, also cause cancer and other diseases.
By comparison, the type of vapor generated by e-cigarettes, experts say, is a less efficient carrier of nicotine than smoke. “There is more deposition in the mouth,” with vapor, said Jeffrey S. Gentry, the chief scientific officer of R.J. Reynolds, a division of Reynolds American.
A study published last year showed that one e-cigarette brand, Njoy, produced levels of nicotine in a user’s blood significantly lower than the amount produced by a cigarette like a Marlboro. As a result, e-cigarette users have frequently turned to larger devices known as vape pens that have bigger batteries that can produce more heat. But more heat to increase nicotine levels may also result in higher levels of toxins and carcinogens, experts say.
Tobacco companies have rushed to increase nicotine levels in their vapor devices.
About a year after Altria, which sells Marlboro, introduced the MarkTen e-cigarette brand, it increased the concentration of nicotine by about 65 percent. Blu eCigs, which is owned by Lorillard, has raised the nicotine output of its latest device by 50 percent through a variety of changes such as increasing its nicotine concentration and incorporating a larger battery to produce higher heat. Njoy, which only makes e-cigarettes, is using a pharmaceutical ingredient in a new version of its device that is supposed to increase vapor absorption in the lung and elevate nicotine delivery to about 70 percent of a cigarette, according to company data.
At Philip Morris International’s research center here, where about 300 scientists work, the nicotine chase is headed in several directions. The company says it has spent about $2 billion since 2008 researching cigarette alternatives with much of that effort focused on devices that use tobacco, but heat it, rather than burn it. Though the “safer” cigarettes that Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds introduced decades ago were also heat-not-burn devices — and flopped with smokers — the new products, Philip Morris officials say, are more technologically advanced.
Last month, Philip Morris International began test marketing the first of these new devices, called iQOS, in Japan. The device has three components; a pocket-size charger, a heating element and a short stick containing tobacco and other ingredients. The tobacco sticks are heated to a point below combustion, producing an aerosol-like vapor that has about same amount of nicotine as a cigarette. The company plans to introduce another heat-not-burn device in 2016; the heating element of that device can be lit with a match, like a cigarette, but the tobacco stick does not burn.

Some public health researchers are critical of heat-not-burn products, saying that even heating tobacco produces carcinogens. Philip Morris International officials, like Dr. Picavet, counter that the safest nicotine delivery system has little value unless smokers want to use it. Heat-not-burn products, they argue, give consumers what they want with what appear to be lower health risks.
Company scientists are trying to quantify those risks through experiments that use a traditional cigarette as the toxic yardstick. The smoking machines in a laboratory here are used to draw on cigarettes and heat-not-burn devices and then send the resulting smoke or vapor through a series of tubes to a machine in an adjoining room. Cells resembling those found in the human lung are grown in the machine. After the smoke or vapor hits the cells, they are cultured and taken to other laboratories in the building where researchers examine them for biological or genetic changes.
Company officials report that the test results show far less cell damage with heat-not-burn-devices than with cigarette smoke — though they emphasize that laboratory tests do not translate into less disease in humans. To try to get at that risk, Philip Morris is also running clinical studies to measure the level of toxic compounds in the blood and urine of people who use the new devices.
The first study, conducted in 2013 in Poland, showed that levels of some of the most toxic contaminants in tobacco smoke were substantially lower in users of the iQOS heat-not-burn device than in smokers, though they were somewhat higher than in those who abstained. That study, however, lasted only five days. Scientists have not yet published results from a second study, which involved 160 people and lasted three months, company officials said. A third study, which is expected to last six to 12 months, has yet to begin, they said.
Assuming positive results from the human studies, Philip Morris International says it expects to eventually apply to the Food and Drug Administration for agency support for a claim that iQOS poses a “modified risk” to smokers when compared with a cigarette. If the device is approved, Altria will market it in the United States. (Philip Morris International was once part of Altria and the companies have an agreement that allows them to sell each other’s products.)
R.J. Reynolds is poised to release Revo, a rebranded version of its heat-not-burn device originally called Eclipse and first marketed in 1996. Last year, a Vermont state judge ordered the cigarette maker to pay $8.3 million in fines after a finding that the company had misleadingly claimed in marketing that the device could lower a smoker’s risk of contracting cancer, emphysema and other diseases. Those claims were made before the F.D.A. gained regulatory oversight of tobacco-related health claims. A spokesman for R.J. Reynolds, David Howard, said it plans to initially claim only that Revo “offers less cigarette smoke smell and no ashes” when compared with a cigarette. He declined to say whether the company plans to eventually seek a modified health risk claim with the F.D.A. for Revo.
Despite the proliferation of cigarette alternatives, industry critics fear that Big Tobacco, given its mastery of nicotine, will manipulate drug levels in new devices so that smokers end up using them, not as quitting aids, but as a way to get nicotine where smoking is prohibited. Public health experts also fear the devices will create a new generation of nicotine addicts.
Cigarette makers dismiss such suggestions. But the newest nicotine delivery devices hitting the market suggest the shape of things to come. Several years ago, Philip Morris International bought the rights to a novel form of inhalable nicotine. The idea was developed by outside researchers including Dr. Jed Rose of Duke University, the an inventor of the nicotine skin patch.
In the past, smoking replacement products like gums and patches have generally failed because they released nicotine too slowly or in amounts too low to satisfy smokers. And on one point, both cigarette industry executives and their critics appear to agree. If the newest alternative products are to succeed from both a financial and a public health standpoint, they will have to deliver nicotine at levels comparable to a cigarette.

BTC Pool Party is a new Bitcoin mining pool that has gone into operation in the last few months. With so many mining pools and centralization driving several to close, a new pool is almost unheard of.
When CCN contacted BTC Pool Party, an interesting person in the Bitcoin mining hardware business turned out to be a very big part of it. Juan Garavaglia, the CEO of 112bit.com, is the VP in charge at BTC Pool Party. He is the lead Bitmain authorized distributor for the US and Canada and sells to Bitcoin miners of all sizes with some very large clients. Juan sat down with CCN for an interview on BTC Pool Party about what it means and where it is going. What we found was interesting, and a new level in mining pool management and transparency.
Could you tell CCN how you became part of the BTC Pool Party organization?
Over the past year we met several times just to share ideas and our vision of the Bitcoin Mining Business and a nice surprise for all of us is we agree in most of the vision and we agree on the solutions that the market require to move into a more transparent and reliable business environment, basically a more mature industry, after some time it became obvious we need to join forces I am CEO of 112 BIT.com but I believe its required to join forces in order to work for a better Bitcoin mining industry. A couple months ago board members of Microelectronics Technology Co (OTC:MELY) parent company of BTC Pool Party (www.btcpoolparty.com) expressed their intention to include me as their VP of Business Development, we exchanged our ideas and plans and it was obvious that this is the best decision.
BTC Pool Party was a current client of 112bit which turned out to be the catalyst allowing for the business plan to form and ideas to be exchanged. The parent company Microelectronics Technology being a US based publically traded company helped with the drive of a fully transparent Bitcoin mining pool. They wanted to make is all SEC compliant and easy to understand and use. Currently, the pool is up and running with the charts and stats being updated with more info this is after an intensive node test period in which this author is one of the testers of the pool.
How has the process been to get things done having a publicly traded company in the US? Were there regulatory Hurdles?
I do not think a regulation is bad itself, a regulation may promote an industry, may protect customers, may protect jobs and many other good things, I believe part of the transparency process is to be a public traded company, for us transparency and good business practices are not just a statement are a reality and we also include audited results of our pool operation. The level of the regulations that will be part of the Bitcoin business in USA is not clear yet but I don’t have any reason to think will affect badly the business, I know lot of people in this industry thinks the opposite but the reality is many people announce government intervention will kill the US Bitcoin environment but the fact is that don’t happen and I see outside China the most active investors are in USA and bring fresh money to develop this new industry.
BTC Pool Party Stats
BTC Pool Party Stats
Have you had any issues being able to setup and run the company and being able to say SEC compliant?
There were no issues being compliant and the proper permits and documents are all in place.
What is going to be your role as VP?
I will work to get the most efficient and large scale Bitcoin mining operation going in USA, and to manage all the relationships with large miners and suppliers to make that happen sooner than later.
Juan has stated and this has been verified by CCN that the first shipment of Spondoolies-Tech SP 20s is being installed at a staggering 1 peta hash to start out followed quickly by a 2nd peta hash of miners shortly thereafter. That is a 2 peta hash purchase from Spondoolies-Tech a large amount of money. This is in addition to the 600 th/s of Bitmain miners that will be moved to BTC Pool Party in the coming weeks by Microelectronics Technology. These moves will also be followed by several other large mining companies bringing their hash rate as well. CCN will have an interview with Shone Anstey the head of BTC Pool Party tech team and comments from Guy Corem of Spondoolies-Tech in the coming couple weeks as well with more info. CCN’s own Scott Fargo will be going on site at BTC Pool Party after the holidays to perform an open audit and provide the results to the community. We will be doing this with several other mining pools and cloud hashing companies in the new year as well. Stay tuned for them.
What are some of the challenges you have had in getting these relationships and deals for hardware in Place?
In a so dynamic business environment is crucial to be well informed and to have a clear idea of the future of the industry, many Bitcoin companies were born and died in the last 18 months.
It is crucial to choose the best partners at any time and also to have an internal team of development stacked with motivated people with a deep knowledge of cryptocurrencies. Even very smart people require some time in order to understand how it all works and the implications of every factor. To do that requires bright people and time, two things you can’t buy with money, and we have it. I have been able to quickly act and get those relationships in place and the miners on the way.
How will the transparent audit work and where will the results of that audit be published?
Bitmain Antminers
Bitmain Antminers
It is a key part of our business model and we require third party auditors to review all the mining process and their results. We will do so and quarterly we will make the auditor report public in our website.
We are doing this all because it is not enough to say we are transparent, we are building trust in this industry and require ourselves to be as open as possible.
What I know there are several costs to run a mining pool, you need to develop the platform, you need a rock solid network of nodes, you need to hire qualified people and qualified auditors, and all that costs money that is a fact, some miners still believe a pool may work with no fee or other way to generate revenues and that is simply not possible, I do not see yet any pool that seriously invests any money in order to be transparent, most of them are not even incorporated no directors, no phone, no address nothing, large investors require reliable pools that will guarantee the transparency of all the process. Others may share our vision but we are several steps ahead because we have been working with a team of developers for several months under the radar, designing a completely new solution that meets the requirements of small and large miners, with a network of nodes globally and a system that does not have a single point of failure all is redundant and developed in layers what let us be sure we will not have security breaches and we have the most advanced and efficient pool infraestructure, and because we trust in what we say we are adding a 1 PH+ of power in few days of our internal mining capacity and will expand it aggressively during the 2015.
We are going to be the largest mining operation will be in USA and we are the company that will create and operate them. It’s said the first minutes of a marathon some people are confused and think it is a 100 meter race, but we are building a strong infrastructure with our own technology with our own team takes time but is a significant advantage that will be more clear for the industry in the following months.
Even at the risk many people will think I am wrong I am sure 2015 will be a year with more news and changes than 2014, in 2016 the Bitcoin of 2014 will look like the stone age.
What I need to be clear is we are the only audited pool, a real company, real people and under US jurisdiction, and we are building the biggest and efficient mining operation in USA. We will have 5 -7 Peta Hash in a short amount of time with 70+ MW of mining online by the end of Q4 in 2015. What we are building will allow us to manage 1000’s of miners and be transparent for the investors and more importantly the industry.
CCN
BTC Pool Party has set some aggressive goals and has been progressing quickly. The node tests were very intensive and in our tests on the network were positive with quick changes to the nodes that allowed the widest amount of miners to work seamlessly and report properly. BTC Pool Party found their first block on Nov 3rd during these tests. They are moving their own Bitcoin miners to the pool as well to be able to make it competitive and be able to use the transparent nature of the pool and audits for the proper record keeping.
CCN will bring you more info on BTC Pool Party as the hash rate is brought over. We will also speak with several miners both large and small and find out their experience with the Bitcoin mining pool as they move their miners over as well.

Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. (NYSE MKT:HEB) (the "Company" or "Hemispherx"), announced today further progress on developing Ampligen(R) (rintatolimod) as a potential therapeutic complement to a new molecular class of anti-tumor drugs termed immune checkpoint inhibitors or PD-1 inhibitors (also called Programmed Death inhibitors). PD-1 inhibitors act to unleash the body's own immune system to scavenge/ destroy tumors: remarkable success to date clinically has been reported by Bristol Meyers Squibb (BMS), Merck, Genetech and Novartis on a variety of human tumors including malignant melanoma and metastatic renal cancer with PD inhibitors. In some of these cases, full regulatory approval of commercialization for PD-1 inhibitors has already been received internationally or is expected to be received shortly. Objective tumor regressions are typically seen in approximately 10 to 25% of patients with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, such compounds have been generally well-tolerated clinically with a few exceptions noted to date.
Hemispherx has active ongoing antitumor programs with Ampligen(R) in this research area at Georgia Regents University Cancer Center (GRU) and the Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh (UP). The laboratory program at GRU is supported in part by sponsored research of Hemispherx whereas the UP cancer program is supported internally at the University and by various National Institutes of Health Grants.
Key to further progression in this field is to improve efficacy and speed to market by determining which combination strategies yield highest priority and which techniques can be used to overcome technical challenges of clinical monitoring and predicting immune response. Investigation of immune competent models that can be effectively translated into the clinic with expert knowledge has thus become invaluable. To that end, Professor Esteban Celis (at GRU) first reported that in animal models a dsRNA analogue of Ampligen(R), Poly I: Poly C, significantly increased survival in animal tumors when administered in combination with PD-1 inhibitors (see Combinatorial Immunotherapy of Poly I - Poly C and Blockage of Program Death- Ligand 1 Induce Effective CD8 T-Cell Responses in Established Tumors, Clin Cancer Research, 2014). In follow on animal experiments with Ampligen(R) (Report to Hemispherx dated November, 2014), Celis has demonstrated anti-tumor properties of Ampligen(R) similar to those of classical PD-1 inhibitors with a resultant long term survival advantage in mouse melanoma. In particular, his experiments suggest analogous actions of Ampligen(R) against malignant melanoma in the animal model. Mice protected by Ampligen(R) and/or a PD-1 inhibitor were resistant to rechallenge with viable melanoma cells in the absence of drug(s), indicating a "memory effect", which is most likely mediated by anti-melanoma cytotoxic CD8+ cells. Immune mechanisms may account for an apparent long term benefit of Ampligen(R) in melanoma (see below).
Dr. Kalinski (UP) demonstrated that carefully coordinated administration of selected immune modulatory agents, including TLR3 agonists, type I interferons, and cyclooxygenase inhibitors, in conjunction with immunization strategies, substantially alters the character of induced immunity, the nature of cellular infiltrates, and the natural history of the induced immune response (see Hemispherx press release dated December 2, 2014) http://www.hemispherx.net/content/investor/default.asp?goto=763. More information on this research program utilizing Ampligen(R) as a component to help alter the immunological microenvironment around tumors to boost anti-tumor response can be found at: http://www.upmc.com/media/NewsReleases/2013/Pages/pitt-team-aims-to-change-tissue-microenvironment-to-fend-off-cancerous-tumors.aspx.
Hemispherx views the potential use of Ampligen(R) as a component of cancer immunotherapy to be an important research area and a significant opportunity of the Company's product development. The Company's near term focus in cancer is to engage in a series of collaborations with renowned cancer research experts at premier institutions to help define the best mode of integrating Ampligen(R) into immunotherapy strategies for the treatment of cancer.
These collective recent data provide a further rationale for therapeutic combination of Ampligen(R)-based CKM (chemokine modulation) with PDL1 blockers and PD-1 blockers. Additional experiments, including advanced clinical trials, will be necessary to establish whether these findings translate to enhanced survival or other clinical benefit in patients with malignant melanoma, metastatic renal cancer, or other conditions.
Increased survival observed in early Phase I/II clinical trials by Hemispherx in cancer may be explained by immune enhancement. Hemispherx is actively exploring collaborative studies with potential partners in both the USA and Europe. According to a recent Bioworld report (November 24, 2014) immune-oncology drug combinations may well be on the way to becoming a multi-billion dollar market.
Very true. Best of luck.
Sorry. No hard feelings at all.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I thought you were joking with those statements, but now I am thinking that you are being genuine.
Quick run down: There are "opportunistic people" at work here collecting as many cheap shares that they can afford from one of the biggest names in one of the fastest growing industries world wide..
These "opportunistic people" are taking advantage of conversions and short sale volume to suppress the share price..weak hands sell into the bid for a loss, bid sitters bid sit, and it drives the price down more, and more accumulation takes place..nothing much more than that..
We are seeing real volume here, and it isn't by accident.
These levels will not hold for much longer..demand will eventually out weigh the supply, and that =#BOOM-age which leads to rapid PPs increase.
What sounds like truth?
That a multi million dollar company shouldn't be trading at .08 per share because they have multi billion dollar connections?
Are you new to trading securities, or are you kidding?
Honest question..you don't have to stand in front of the class to answer..you can pm me if it would make you more comfortable..
You must be new here..
BOD's are well connected.
But because they have connections doesn't mean people are going to just be throwing money left and right, read a little deeper into ECIG, and who our affiliates are.
There are real lucrative businesses to run here, employees, and shareholders to consider. So consider that before you go making statements like, "If buffet/Walmart as you call him were backing this it wouldn't be trading at $.08/share"..that just sounds foolish to be honest..
Good luck to you.
GNCP is building support again.
A lot of action on Level II, HEB.
