I stepped on my "rose-colored glasses" a long time ago.
I had a note with Validian, share grants, etc. I am/was a share holder of Ganthet.
BB has talked and talked until my ears bled. Been through a hundred "stealth mode" situations.
Over ten years...the definition of insanity applies.
The pitch continues
What ever happened to Ganthet...
For someone who continues to ask for "facts" you continually make declarative statements based on your assumption that Validian has a series of failed Beta tests under the belt and nothing more.
Here is a fact- when one sets guidelines to play they have to live by those same guidelines otherwise you lose credibility and have a contradiction. Contradict yourself enough times you will find those that will call you a hypocrite :)
courtesy of Wikipedia should you be confused
"Hypocrisy is the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions, behaviors, virtues, motivations, or other characteristics that one does not actually hold. Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler No. 14: acutely means you say don't do that when you are doing it yourself."
Good day !
Your not seeing them because they got hacked. How ironic :)
It is clear that "about a mil" in profit was implied.
This board is always good for some entertainment
For what it is worth I looked at Southern Data Solutions web site and noticed a company owned by a friend was on the list of people SDS is providing product for. I forwarded the SDS news release to her and asked for comment. Just food for thought , here is what she said
"Looks like they are just a reseller not big news. (Omit her companies name) is a partner of everyone doing cloud services. There are hundreds of companies like SDS out there in the under $10m range of revenue which is where it looks like SDS sales fall. No software vendor in cloud goes direct to customer as cost of sales is too high; fact it's one of the first ones validian has signed up with is curious in itself especially after how long they've been around."
Still any revenue would be welcome at this point and hopefully a sign of more to come. When and if Validian does generate any
Thank you !!

No one cares to hear how great this company is. We have all already heard that story. It is the reason why we are all invested in the company.
Any news release that does not talk about an income producing deal or a solid move like, " we now have ten million end points and growing" or " Bank of America has implemented our software" . If it is not income numbers it better be a strong announcement including a well known successful company on the other end not something about a "channel partner" that no one has ever heard of until a Validian news release.

My brain comprehends just fine and the paragraph you point to is no different than VLDI all these years talking about all the installations they have made and all the companies supposedly "fielding" VLDI all the way back to the channel partners that had them into Sony 8 years ago or Lockheed 6 years ago or the Indian Government 5 years ago.
Still I will refrain from insulting you, as you have me, just because your opinion differs from mine.
Companies, or people, using a product, whether it be the Navy or Barack Obama sitting in the oval office, don't amount to a hill of beans if there is no revenue. Unless your objective is to not make money then of course that is different but I am not invested in a non profit organization.
This is not the late 1990's and early 2000's when a company with a great name and good story can trade for 20 dollars a share with no product let alone revenue. Those days are gone and Validian is proof of that.
Every time VLDI comes out with news the stock trades down. Every single time. That is because the few people who know that this company exists are disappointed because the news never supports the self generated hype with something solid.
SCS offices are were given to them as a part of a government program. SCS is under the tutelage of "Invest Ottawa" where you can catch a seminar on " Book Keeping" or a one on one on how to help "find a business partner" (insert here Channel Partner).
It's nice that these two Ottawa based companies have hooked up and I hope with the help of the experienced mentors at Invest Ottawa they can guide these two channel partners to success.
It is nice that SCS has access to all this support

Here is a Validian News release from a year ago where Validian announces that they have "Launched"
http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/Validian-Launches-Next-Generation-of-Intrusion-Prevention-20023811
Here is an announcement from over a year ago about another un-named channel partner and expectations of results for Q3 2014. Now we are closing in on Q2 2015 so I guess Validian was just a little off on their prediction of Q3.
http://www.thestreet.com/story/12304585/1/validian-collaborates-with-new-channel-partner-to-develop-fully-secure-point-of-sale-solution-for-retail-and-hospitality-industries.html
look back through all of these press releases... Whatever happened to the Prevently deal ?
And yet another well over a year ago where Validian was working with, how did you guess ? Yes a Channel Partner to secure online banking?
http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2013/06/11/553267/10035921/en/Validian-Collaborates-With-Channel-Partner-to-Secure-Online-Banking.html
So Shoutround1 I find your enthusiasm and faith to be compelling but this to me sounds like a lot of the same. And as I said previously I truly hope to eat my words where Validian is concerned. Seems like a lot of people are using Validian technology just like SCS' technology yet I see nothing about revenue.
I believe Surwin' comprehends (that word again) the tea leaves here pretty well.

The web site you are posting has Melanie Burgess' name attached to it and is copy written 2013. Who is Melanie Burgess and is referred to in the web address as an "example".
http://secure-city-solutions.melanieburgesss.com/examples.html
Yes it has a paragraph on some entities using their technology. I noticed on this web site that when you go to the bottom of the page and press the link for the companies facebook page, that FB page in turn has a link to the SCS web site (2014) which is the one that I provided.
http://www.securecitysolutions.com/
On this web site there is mention of technology being used by certain entities but no contractual details. The big print says "FIELDED BY" . Maybe I am missing something but it seems a little vague to me. Is the use simply the product being tried out or "fielded" as the current web site describes?
You all realize Secure City Solutions office address is at Invest Ottawa right? http://investottawa.ca/
Here is a blurb about Invest Ottawa.
"Invest Ottawa delivers economic development programs and initiatives that generate and accelerate entrepreneurial momentum, business investment and job creation in the City of Ottawa.
Its goal is to make Ottawa the best place in Canada to start and grow a knowledge-based business.
Invest Ottawa services include start-up seminars and consulting, business incubation/acceleration and mentorship, global business investment attraction and local business retention/expansion, targeted sector development, commercialization of research and innovation, and marketing Ottawa’s diversified economy and high quality of life."
That's great but is SCS something to get overly excited about? Like the fact Validian mentioned a "channel partner" means the train has come in? Was SCS the kind of "Channel Partner" that you all were hoping for or would you have been more excited if the "Channel Partner" was a bit more established with some clear cut income producing contracts and a nice track record in the industry.
Internet and Mobile phone security has been an at the water cooler, lunch room, household topic for over a year now. It has dominated a large part of the daily news. I don't know people is there any demand for this Validian product? Seems like there is just a little tiny bit of demand (sarcasm)... what's the problem?
I want to believe. I want to be put in the position to eat my words and apologize to all of you. Everyone of you is probably better than I am at finding info on the Internet and you all probably have better connections to the company than I do so will someone do some real homework and come back with some article that talks about a Secure City's prowess that is attached to a specified executed revenue generated contracts of substance that don't mention "in use" or "fielding"?
I guess after riding this bus for a long time I am just skeptical.
Who is Secure City Solutions? I do not see any mention of who they have actually done business with only who their "solutions" WOULD BE useful for. Their web site talks about their solution being "fielded" in security and defense projects globally . The company was formed in 2012!
In 2013 they were referred to as a start up.
"The SCS headquarters is located in Ottawa, Ontario and is gaining momentum within North American, Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Invest Ottawa recognized Secure City Solutions in 2012 with its Rising Start Award. In 2013,the Ottawa Business Journal named SCS “A Start-up to Watch.”
People getting excited over Validian finally "naming a channel partner" is a joke.
Validian is like a woman promising you intimacy after the next date, then the next date.. the next date..... no the next, next date... just one more date....my 30th birthday, no I meant my 40th etc., etc.`
Interesting write up on OTC Stock Review
http://www.otcstockreview.com/vldi.htm
Seems like there is a new base and though the volume is not as heavy today as it has been in the last week of trading the stock has shown some resilience at these new levels. I wonder where all the buying is coming from? There has easily been medium six figures + worth of buying in this stock the last week or so of trading and that is huge for this stock.
Be interesting to see what comes out of the NIBA conference.
Bueller ?
