Maybe the 10K will have pictures.
I don't know if they can cover everything for everybody all the time.
There was a PR last week and 10K is due in a week.
Are there counterfeit tv Displays? You bet.
Industry could use blockchain track and trace to curtail counterfeit displays.
Last week's QMC's Hartigan hire PR published today on Display Daily.
Funny if we get our QD on the outside of the box instead of in the product. And more profitable!
It's possible they relocated the building when they expanded it 120K sqft?
I'm just guessing.
Sorry,, I haven't looked at the pictures because I would be guessing at which building is the one. I just trust if they say they are building, they're building.
75K sqft for QD, QDLED and QDSC R&D and manufacturing, and the other 45K sqft for offices and a bunch of incubator startups?
India lowered corporate taxes this week to stimulate growth. That could help QMC down the road with the Advantage Assam investors. Right now, Assam deal probably already has incentives and tax advantages built in for QMC licensee.
Well, they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
And they'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you're walking on the street
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone you when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone you when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to make a buck
Then they'll stone you and then they'll say "good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned alright
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say you are brave
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Quote: 'those people don't deserve any slack.'
Well, let's see, I could argue the opposite with~
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"
or
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Thoughts?
You have been wrong, and I think I remember you admitting to it, so cut others some slack too, please.
One can read this board and it's like blockchain doesn't exist! Too much concern about he said she said.
Listen, I responded to your post. None of us are concerned with what happened a long time ago because it is not relevant to Today. QMC did not have Blockchain before August 15! What happens now is what is important, not in some old post.
Agree, no sense getting riled up if there is no news. We know QMC doesn't pander to false assumptions made on this board, but does give fairly full report periodically through updates or PR.
Agree. Exact date of completion of a project is a false issue just to distract.
I am not an expert on how secure blockchain is now.
This article mentions $1B stolen
7 of the Biggest Recent Hacks on Crypto Exchanges
This article, Is Blockchain Really Immutable? has a section Threats to Blockchain’s Immutability. There it describes the future threat of Quantum Computing:
There may be similarities between what CannVerify in your post can do and what QMC is aiming to do. Blockchain can be hacked by sophisticated hackers.
The difference is that adding a QD Physical Key to read the output of the QD on the QR code or other type of label adds a layer of security that makes the blockchain system immutable.
The threat and the fear is that even the most complicated algorithms will be broken in future Quantum Computing hacking users, but there are various methods to use QD in a physical key that can't be broken. There are estimates that QC is far in the future, but limited and special application QC could be around the corner that could be used for nefarious purpose.
Given the high dollar or amount of cryptocurrency involved, taking the chance that your blockchain could be hacked is a big risk. I think that would be QMC's big selling point.
Edit: BTW, QR code readers are in every supermarket checkout stand, and I imagine they could be easily adapted to also sense and read QD in a label. IR lasers and readers are miniature in size. Question is - in what form could they be attached to your computer or phone?
Long time complaint on this board has been lack of updating websites, brand marketing, updates on activities, and other general progress towards sales indicators.
Seems they have professional help now for all that, to the extent that https://www.quantummaterialscorp.com/ is promising
Quantum Materials Corp. has industry-changing news to share. Soon.
Solterra last mentioned in August PR but not current one.
Website is still up FWIW solterrasolar.com/index.htm
I am in the QD Physical Key camp as the missing link / Holy Grail for Blockchain Immutability, but also think the Capstan Platform must be pretty special to go all in on it. Looking forward to finding out what it can do that current blockchain technology can't do. If 'Industry-changing news" refers to our blockchain, the physical key is extraordinary but why not sell it to everyone by itself instead of acquiring your own blockchain platform? Seems like clients will have to buy the whole package exclusive and custom. Considering the clients are probably Fortune 500 companies, each sale would be meaningful to the bottom line. Why else would we acquire Capstan? Well, there is the idea that Jay T. Williams could be the real deal in understanding the blockchain market and tech and being able to implement a total package under the right circumstances. We'll see.
Just speculating.
Maybe K&L screwed up on this too! LOL
Just joking!
Looks like QMC is doing some rebranding along with the new blockchain endeavor.
They're still building a QDSC Plant in Assam that might have an Indian name.
Doc, sent you a PM.
There are quite a few John Hartigan led presentations for Invita Health on YouTube if you want to see him discuss a blockchain application.
My impression is that the Advisory Board appointments PR yesterday give the blockchain Capstan endeavor creedence. QMC is attracting serious talent to advise on developing specific saleable blockchain to vertical industries. The inclusion of the Blitzscaling author, entrepreneur and Professor in the group says to me they will work fast but also expertly.
What do they have to say? Walls are going up? Over and over?
You want a brick by brick description?
Patience. When complete they will let us know.
Both you and BigE sound more right.
Could refer to the light from a QD Physical Key.
#TrustingtheLight
Just brainstorming what it refers to -
SSL + IoT + Blockchain
Any other ideas?
New Twitter Hashes too

But the quote IS correct!
Quote:
India has a "Make in India' policy, along with its "Made in India" program. "Make in India" means you have to make your QD IN INDIA. QMC IS THE ONLY MAJOR QD COMPANY VIA ITS LICENSEE JV WITH AMTRON.
Quote:
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has asked government departments and public sector units to avoid choosing foreign products and brands.
So you are saying that there are problems implementing the law and that proves I am wrong?
The violators are violators. That doesn't change the law.
At the end of my last post I said-
The intention is clearly to force OEMs to manufacture in India.
Also I said Quote -
QMC IS THE ONLY MAJOR QD COMPANY VIA ITS LICENSEE JV WITH AMTRON.
Do you disagree with that statement too?
Talk about 'too funny'!
The article you posted a link to at the end of your post is entitled-
PMO tells departments, PSUs to pick ‘Made in India’ products
...but nowhere in the article does it mention "Made in India" again.
In fact the subheadline even says the emphasis is on "Make in India".
To give advice on writing the DAPPs.
It's not important but you conflated the "Make in India" Mandatory GOVERNMENT POLICY with the "Made in India" government marketing program. Lots of people make that mistake.
New Advisory Board members Dr Vitalari co-founded a company, Blitzscaling Enterprises.
"His most recent work, “Blitzscaling and Beyond,” focuses on how corporations, organizations and social enterprises can employ technology and new scaling models to successfully innovate and do good at unprecedented speed."
Life: Expect change.
Blitzscaling: Expect change at lightspeed.
The new Advisory Board includes mostly OG - Old Guard (or Original Gangstas depending on your frame of references) who have built their reputation on experience and work in their field. A number hold/held top positions in Orgs related to their field where they do similar advisory work.
I am 100% sure Squires knows their work, their books and their industries very well and could knowledgeably discuss with them every aspect of their expertise, especially in regards to what changes blockchain will make in those fields in the coming years. Can I prove that statement? Why would I have to? It is my personal experience and recollection.
Key point is that Business Advisory Board members are experts not only in their field but also "Renaissance men" versed in other fields that give them a wider perspective.
Capstan is a blockchain "platform". Applications, or DAPPs need to be written for each business. Advisors are very important in setting up a blockchain DAPP.
My guess is the business plan is to develop, license and collect ongoing transaction fees (instead of royalties) for hundreds of DAPPs that QMC develops.
From the PR--
Quantum Materials Corp (OTCQB:QTMM) announced today the creation of a Business Advisory Board and appointed five initial members. These members possess extensive backgrounds with the federal government and in the national security, retail operations, brand marketing, logistics, international trade and real estate development spheres.
The role of the Business Advisory Board is to provide both broad business guidance and specific in-depth understanding of key technologies and business marketplaces that QMC has identified as aligned with its long term strategic vision.
Its a fact the display industry is in another 'race to the bottom' where it cannibalizes profits.
Look how the price of QD film TV has fallen. Nanosys is making very slim profits if at all.
Thats facts. Nanosys did not make any secret of its low prices. They made their product into a commodity.
QMC strategy is high value for its superior QD.
Its a dream world if anyone thinks Nanosys is the best business model.
Now there will be higher profit future display types - that will need QMC Rec2020 QD - which no other company can make, which QMC can sell to if it wants. But why sell if you have to sell cheap? Why should QMC sell Rec2020 QD for low value? If OEMs want to license it and pay royalties, everyone wins. Licensing is not being a middleman, it is getting value for your IP instead of giving it away dirt cheap.
India is a fantastic deal. Assam is building a complete QD manufacturing factory with 2 reactors, a QDLED Factory, and a QDSC factory, manufacturing facilities, room for eight or more incubating companies - 120,000 sqft total at a cost of $82M and paying licensing and royalties and it cost QMC nothing!!!
India has a "Make in India' policy, along with its "Made in India" program. "Make in India" means you have to make your QD IN INDIA. QMC IS THE ONLY MAJOR QD COMPANY VIA ITS LICENSEE JV WITH AMTRON. Products will be designed specifically for the Indian market and priced accordingly. Most likely they will be less expensive because they won't be IMPORTED and they can be factory direct to retailers from Assam. No I don't know details but this seems most likely. The USA has 350 million people, India has One Billion Plus. Much bigger market. Exclusive Products. State of the Art. Think about it.
Quote:
It would seem that any display manufacturer would be happy to have the competitive advantage of a superior display along with the advantage of lower costs and thus increased margins.
____
If you really read the shareholders letters Squires outlined the business plan - license and royalties, the purpose of which is to bargain the true value of the QD in the end product. If an OEM prefers to squeeze the last drop of blood out of Nanosys instead, that's their decision. Squires sticking to his guns is good business in the best interest of the shareholders. Short term thinking is not a formula for long term growth. QMC Is not trying to compete for the low profit market that Nanosys has cornered, to it's future detriment.
Further, QMC is doing well. Still $7 to $10 million in revenue to come from Assam this year for training, services and equipment. Are you falsely assuming that there won't be a QD Displays, QD LED or QDSC market in India? One billion plus strong!
Further, QMC just started a promising blockchain endeavor without needing cash outlay. Could you? I couldn't. Who could? Squires did! I don't worry about things that don't happen - there are probably good business reasons for that, and I applaud the good that happens.
that quote is correct. Thank you!
Yes, India decided the QD are good enough to make it the anchor tenant in an $82M Electronics Manufacturing Cluster in Guwahati Tech City in a $1B development.
Its accurate. Got us the India Deal. Makes our Blockchain very unique and immutable.
OH! OKAY!
No. My question was quite narrow and specific. Claimed is factually correct. Unfortunately, you took it further. You defined "claimed" to be a "modifier one chooses to put in front if one doesn't accept the PRs." So I was wondering if that rule applied to you. Apparently, it does not.
LOL.
Great! So you won't argue if I were to leave off the "claimed"?
While possible to make, QMC is the only one that can make them with over 95 percent whole units, size uniformity, and shape selectively, blowing away what the competition can do.
I didn't know you were in such agreement with me.
I only put in the 'claimed' because I thought you would object to a definitive statement.
You can't have it both ways. You either agree there is no need for 'claimed' because it is fact, or you shouldn't disagree with the 'claimed' if you don't. You can't say both are right and if you do, what the heck is the purpose of your post?
