So Nanosys is a cash cow? Just making oodles of dough and banking it?
And the Nanosys Venture Capital Investors are doing the opposite of their normal activity of cashing out on their early investment (over 15 years now) AND just telling Hartlove, "you're doing a great job, hold onto our money for another few years". Thats their plan? Really?
They are really "Longs"!!
I contend Nanosys takes deals with less profit.
QMC licensee has the Assam deal signed.
Licensing fees
Equipment fees
Training fees
Consulting fees
Royalties
$7 to $10 million revenue this year.
No Cash from QMC necessary.
QMC invested its IP and will receive increasing royalties for years to come.'
Nothing to stop QMC from doing the same deal other places.
I fail to see the downside. Sweet Deal!
Simple answer?
Well, that does away with the Sanity Clause.
That's what a sane investor would do.
No, the real question is mine!
If Nanosys is doing so well, making heaps of money, why have they never done an IPO?
"running a public company sucks" ROFLMAO!
Let Hartlove tell that to the VC who have invested maybe half a billion dollars in Nanosys!
Absolutely! 10 years ago QD were sold in lab quantities measured in hundreds of a gram - MCG - at a sale price between $5000 to $10000 per gram! There was a QD sale of 1 Kilo for $1 Million!!!
Nanosys says they will sell theirs for $12/gram!!! ($12000/kilo) Times have changed. Volume QD sales just bring lower prices for QD film. The display industry cannibalizes it's profits in a race to the lowest price.
The market totally changed. Squires refused to play in a losing game and made the correct switch to getting high value for QMC QD in end products, by licensing and royalties in Assam. This will provide $7 to $10 million in revenue this year for training, consulting and equipment, and royalties in QDLED, QDSC, SSL, and displays if all goes according to plan.
No one has ever answered my question -
If Nanosys is making gazillions selling their QD, why have they never done an IPO IN 15 YEARS?
LOL, It is genius!
What's wrong with getting back the true value for the QD inn the end product?
I don't see the argument against?
It's smart to change your thinking if you think it will bring a better result. QMC made the change three years ago. Keep up!
We can, but we changed the business plan. Blockchain is the prime indicator that QMC is not your run of the mill QD company anymore. The new strategy, in Assam and Blockchain, is to return the true value of the QD in the end product. Current Display market is cannibalizing itself. No profits.
Might be profits in future microLED, 8K, huge screens, I don't know. If so, might see new tech at CES, but LOL we say that every year! I make Displays a lower priority than QDSC, QDLED SSL, and QDX Anticounterfeiting, and QDX Blockchain.
IMO, Hartigan and Williams have as much to offer in who they know as well as what they know. Both are connected to the Blockchain community in a number of ways. Williams is active in the Austin Blockchain Collective and their related areas. I believe Hartigan is expert in health systems and Blockchain. The important thing is he can market blockchain.
Blockchain can be adapted to nearly every industry and many data storage fields. QMC has made a strong entry in blockchain with new personnel with experience in their fields and connections to help them grow QMC.
What are NSC's prospects? Are they still in R&D development?
Great article supporting the last QMC PR. Glad to see the 'word' getting out.
But, you know, we really could criticize it for not solving global warming or world peace.
Edit: But, Hey!, it didn't say it was going to do more than what it said.

High-Performance Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Transistors Based on Vertical Organic Thin-Film Transistors
In this work, a novel vertical quantum-dot light-emitting transistor (VQLET) based on a vertical organic thin-film transistor is successfully fabricated. Benefiting from the new vertical architecture, the VQLET is able to afford an extremely high current density, which allows most of the organic thin film transistors (OTFT) even with low mobility (for instance, poly(3-hexylthiophene)) to drive a quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED), which was previously unavailable. Moreover, the hole injection barrier could be modulated by the additional gate electrode, which precisely optimizes the charge balance in the device, a critical issue in QLED, resulting in the precise control of current density and brightness of the VQLET. The VQLET shows a high performance with a maximum current efficiency of 37 cd/A. Furthermore, integrating OTFT and QLED into a single device, the VQLET features drastic advantages by realizing active matrix quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (AMQLEDs), which significantly reduces the number of transistors and frees the large area fraction occupied by transistors. Hence, these results indicate that the VQLET provides a new strategy for realizing a low-cost, solution-processed, high-performance OTFT-AMQLED for the flat panel display technology. Moreover, the novel design offers a unique method to exquisitely control the charge balance and maximize the efficiency the QLED.

That is correct, and add all related uses of QD for security, printing, solar etc.

Interesting website.
The company has gotten better and better at communicating to shareholders in the last two years. They have been fantastic at communicating about blockchain. They announced August 15 and since then we have got new hire PR and product intro PR - QDX Ledger today. Three PR in 40 days.
You say QDX Ledger is based on Capstan. I agree. What's the difference? New name. Branding. All good. Not an issue.
Who says "ready for business"? John Hartigan says we're talking to big companies. That means we're ready for business.
LOL The company has described the product in general terms. Sorry if that's not enough for you.
I would bet they tell clients what they need to know to evaluate the product.
What's your point? You think it is good business to tell the competition all your secrets?
Because Capstan is a finished product. Of course specific applications will need to be developed with the client. That's what ready for business means IMO. They are talking with clients.
I think the new guys will be more public.
CTO Williams was on a blockchain security panel on Monday in Austin and there are a bunch of YouTube videos with Hartigan speaking. He is also tweeting and posting comments on LinkedIn for QMC. This is a big and welcome change in public activity.
Remember, QMC only announced the blockchain endeavor August 15th, no more than 40 days ago. Today they announced they are ready for business and talking to large corporations.
Absolutely right!
A physical element using QD with unclonable emissions that cannot be hacked.
Absolutely right!
Capstan Platform advertises itself as fast and scalable and a finished product adaptable to a company's needs.
QDX adds a physical element that makes Capstan immutable.
Every company will want it. It's not available anywhere else on the market. It's exclusive. Only QMC is offering a truly immutable blockchain type product. It will be in high demand by top companies.
How did you get the .10 cent figure? Seems like a complicated math problem that one would find in proof of work in blockchain. LOL. Did you just make it up?
Is that your opinion, that's what the company is worth?

What's an immutable blockchain worth if that's where you keep your coin?.
Immutable- can't be hacked, even by future quantum computing.
Seems all the Fortune 500 companies are moving to blockchain like fish to chum.
Actually, the carbon industries will fight renewable energy tooth and nail. They knew about global warming 40 years ago.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/
The oil companies lied to us just like the Tobacco companies did.
The validity of the science is not in question. If someone doesn't agree, they're part of the problem. I am glad you are not against renewable energy.
I agree with you that there is a lot involved in implementing solar energy solutions. It will take a paradigm shift in political and self-centered personal thinking. Greta Thunberg expects those interests will have to be forced to change.
While you are concerned about the cost, many studies show major economic and social benefits from going all in on RE. The New Yorker Bill McCubbin article admits there will be disruptions and losses in the established fossil fuel carbon industries, but they have had a free ride, subsidized too for 100 years. We're past the point where we can let greed go unchecked, at the cost of our future and our children's. We have passed the buck too long.
10 years ago, Squires laid out his vision that Quantum Dot Solar cell energy is the only solution to mitigate the global climate change problem. ( New investors- read his Quantum Dots Future Energy Solution, in the IBox above). I look forward to the startup of the Assam QDSC Plant, the first inorganic QDSC plant with R2R mass production, to start the paradigm shift in solar energy adoption
Money Is the Oxygen on Which the Fire of Global Warming Burns
What if the banking, asset-management, and insurance industries moved away from fossil fuels?

The article and report might be true if the world keeps making silicon based solar.
But QDSC are nothing like that.
So if there is absolutely no innovation and we stay in the solar stone age, that article might be right.
When that article was written, and most articles now, do not factor in Quantum Dot Solar.
Jeez, reports still have QD Vision in their marketing.
Same thing with Energy Storage. New materials and methods will make them much more environmentally friendly and renewable. I don't think Lithium is the end ot the line. Lots of other materials being considered and used in new ultracapacitors.

Leveraging Blockchain to Prove Identity and Authenticity - Of Everything!
https://sched.co/UCn3 TweetShare
.E-Commerce applications and business networks can't operate unless participants trust one another and fundamental to trust is identity - whether it be of people, products, applications or devices. This panel of local startups will explore how blockchain and related technologies are being applied to provide frameworks to prove identity and authenticity for everything.

Anyone developing QD applications needs to work intimately with the QD manufacturer to keep refining best materials, repeated testing, and fine-tuning results. Would not be surprised if part of the expected revenue comes from training, services and consulting for incubators, in addition. That could be sooner rather than later.
EDIT: LOL, could be happening now! After all, the reactors are in Assam, aren't tthey?
75,000 sqft seems plenty big for the three focuses of the agreement. QD, QDLED, QDSC.
Do they need more than demonstration factories if the purpose is to sub-license the product and processes? I never imagined AMTRON would do all the manufacturing of end product.
Ted, if you get a chance to look at the plat map on P15 of the Final Approval document, where would you think the factory is being sited?
Agree that incubators are in the Common Facility. but wonder if they might find room for more of them.
