Ah yes you could be forgiven for thinking "I'm turning Japanese."
Now that takes me back to the late 70's - early 80's song by the Vapors.
I'm with Pottys this is on the up and up............
Think of it like " Happy Days" we got a Pottsy we got a Richie we definitely got ourselves a Ralph Mouth and I can be Mrs C! Not sure yet who out of the shadows might be the Fonze but me thinks it might end up getting played by the Duke. Gee that's another show all together!
I love this..............
LMU
Potts,
It's no ordinary train.
SHINKANSEN! No stops.
If you miss it you won't get on board.
You won't be able to pay the fare and they will not stop the train to let you on.
LMU
Pottsville,
I concur with your sentiments however I do think you're underestimating the extent - More like a Tidal Wave!!!!!!
When the tide goes out it will be fun to see who isn't wearing a bathing costume.
Won't be long now!
LMU
Randy and I are in regular contact with Shamus.
Why do you ask two dogs!
Does that answer your question?
Tongue in cheek.....
2017
If I may say so - Duke was quoting verbatim what appeared in a Press Release earlier that day.
Did you not see or read the PR yourself?
Of course the company didn't create "the" USB per se!
If you have read the PR then you would know and appreciate the implied term of reference in relation to the word "create" and how it applies to a USB in conjunction with swiping your finger etc etc...
LMU
M&B,
Understand what you mean.
I discussed the possibility of same with Randy who suggested he and I could stand at the corner of George and Market streets cheering him on.......
Fortunately I don't believe that will be necessary!!
LMU
Thanks Duke,
Me too!
LMU
Duke,
That's a bold, confident if not brave statement to make.
I'm curious why you've chosen October.
LMU
M&B
To suggest he video's it could be interpreted as you thinking there's a chance something won't happen by the end of October.
LMU
Thanks Duke.
Yes I knew as much.
No skin in the game.............but has an axe to grind!
I can't imagine we'll hear from them again.
Silly me.
LMU
Mmmmmm,
Perhaps I mistook you for that person who said whilst they did not own shares in the company that they had clients/friends who have invested in Smme and were making remarks (in their supposed interest) on their behalf.
I'm sure if you aren't that person you or someone else will correct me.
That aside although it's a pertinent question(whether posters on this sight hold shares) as it points to motivation, is why you refer to C. Hendrick as Colin.
This suggests to me like others here critical of the company and its CEO that you are not able to accept facts in their present form and like others here would rather refer to facts a decade past rather than facts as they are in the present. To argue on this basis only weakens your argument.
I am not the least bit interested whether any persons here can accept the facts as I know them to be as at today. Few here have as much riding on the success or failure than I do.
What does concern me though are the carbon emissions emitted by the endless tirade by persons with a particular agenda and the effect these emissions are having on the environment. You really should think about the effects of how much carbon you are emitting into the atmosphere and its effect on the environment.
You have all had a great deal to say much of it very unkind which you feel is warranted for which you are aggrieved- so be it that is your right. It just becomes extremely boring especially when its recited over and over referring to specific details which have changed during the passage of time. Instead people would prefer to refer to things as they once were but no longer how they actually or factually are!
I find it rather ironic that on this forum there are 90 followers compared to 129 followers on the SMME forum. Thats an increase of 40+% more people who would rather tune in to ask questions directly to the CEO and receive sensible replies filtered or otherwise compared to this place.
It's easy to log onto to place like this,say what you want, cast aspersions on people and hide behind your anonymity.
The noise made on this forum will be nothing compared to the noise coming down the line.
Chaya will have the last retort you can be sure of that.
LMU
Please remind me do you currently own shares in SMME?
Perhaps when you locate him you could remove his muzzle!
Potts,
Do you still have Shamus living under the stairs?
LMU
Yes indeed
Especially the cut and paste re privileged emails from someone very near and dear to me Col the Doll.
As I said I look forward to seeing GlenC at the party.
LMU
yankeedave
you should be grateful that an Australian saw fit to take their ideas to America to establish their business supported by a great many Australians who have provided the financial support necessary which will in the very near future result in significant profits which will ultimately flow in taxes to the US bottom line which will save your sorry ass!!
By the way - how many shares do you own and how much of your income from posting 2700 posts have you invested in SmartMetric.
If you actually had a financial interest in the company then maybe just maybe you'd be entitled to criticize in such manner.
I can't believe I'm saying it but your LNM alter ego was somewhat more rational in many of his posts.
Anyway YD not much longer and you and your cohorts will disappear.
As I said in a post recently which was deleted - it's Ok for you and your support group to call the company pigs and Pieces of S_ _t but the moment we respond in kind our posts are deleted.
Just like your band of merry men will disappear soon into the ether so too will I however I'll be the one with the big grin ?????? my face.
I could no longer be bothered with this nonsense.
To my fellow shareholders I wish you very best wishes for your future.
I note the Australian Prime Minister in announcing the election for July 2 has stated its an exciting time to be an Australian. I firmly believe it's an even more exciting time to be a shareholder in SmartMetric.
Ciao for Now!!!
LMU
Yes and there's a very good reason why such transactions are limited to $100.00!
LMU
The lunatics have taken over the asylum!
LMU
Hey Duke
Indeed another day on and another great interview with Chaya.
Word is getting out there.
Interesting reference at the end of the interview to American Express being a great company.
LMU
Yankeedave,
As I expected..........
With all due respect Smme did not pay for the article which appeared on my previous post.
This is not my opinion it is a fact.

It's encouraging that others are starting to write about SmartMetric following the recent convention in Orlando.
LMU
You don't believe what?????"at all"
Explain yourself!
And your point is??????
No need to be a spoilt sport.
The opportunity has always been available to those persons interested in taking up the offer.
I do so look forward to being the one.............................................................................
LMU
We will see who is the one laughing!!!!
To answer your question I have accrued in excess of 5 million shares at an average (buy) price of 10cents.
I took the decision when the share price was at 4 and 5 cents to purchase a couple of million more so even at today's price I'm ahead of the game in my overall investment.
As I have repeatedly stated I'm an investor in the company not a trader / short - long or otherwise.
Given the current status of where the company is at the present time has me looking forward to the weeks ahead.
As I said we'll see who has the last laugh...........
Ciao for now!!!
LMU
Precisely!
And your point is?
PR,
A most interesting observation.
Not being versed in such matters are you able to provide an overview of how (from a trading point of view) the short selling can be nullified.
Regards
LMU

You're welcome.
That said from your reply If I'm not mistaken you are actually suggesting that Zwipe's marketing is superior versus SmartMetrics to date whilst we are extremely confident that SmartMetrics technology which has taken the best part of a decade is far away ahead of other players including Zwipe.
Therefore the superiority lies not in the product but the marketing of a product yet to be developed and still very much on the drawing board so to speak.
I hope your views might change in coming days if as it has been suggested elsewhere that SmartMetric are working in the area you say Zwipe are superior which will nullify Zwipe's apparent marketing advantage.
If it's a race then may I be so bold to suggest SmartMetric is way out in front with the finish line in view.
That said it can be better described as the starting line as this is only the beginning not the end.
LMU
Joker
I am most interested to learn(from you) the competitors and how they have moved ahead of Smme.
I trust you can back this up.
If you are suggesting a competitor such as Zwipe- whilst they may we'll have entered into an agreement with MC they are a long way behind where Smme is presently.
Anyway I look forward to you naming names.
LMU
It is official!
Smartmetric is not required to pay lawyers fees to the sum of 3 million dollars.
Make no mistake this has been hanging over the company for sometime now however with the judgement coming down in favor of SmartMetric it should settle some nervous nellies and enable the company to finalize arrangements with parties who are genuinely interested in the technology and seeing it released onto the market.
Make no mistake this is major positive news for SmartMetric going forward.
Good luck to this persons who have a financial interest in the company and wish to see the company succeed.
LMU
Funding is the key!
From a reliable source (with whom I communicate with on a regular basis) the company are close to having the final round of funding finished.
This will enable the company to produce the production cards required which will then enable the company to demonstrate the working card and secure contracts.
The production cards are the full working cards.
GLTA............................................
LMU
Pottsville,
Your comments are well intended however the reality as history has told us is that it shall fall on deaf ears.
With the R&D phase complete and as we have seen in recent days a video (Good bad or otherwise) of the prototype of a card being inserted into a machine, that a card does indeed exist and has all of us asking what comes next?
As you point out it does appear that the company has not been successful with obtaining sufficient funding with institutions in the USA. At least not on terms acceptable to SMME so it would seem?
What we do know is that most of the funding throughout the past decade plus has come from persons committed primarily in Australia via the private placement in conjunction with the Australian representative who I consider has worked tirelessly and who is determined to raise the further funds required.
At this juncture it is reasonable to conclude that unless management in the USA are prepared to give up a substantial slice of the action then it's unlikely the funds necessary to get cards produced will occur any time soon.
Assuming the above to be the case then its fair to conclude that in order to obtain sufficient funds necessary to do an initial run of X number of cards and to actively promote and market the SMME card and its technology to potential clients already in the pipeline that the company will need to call upon it's loyal group of investors mostly located in Australia to secure the final tranche of funding to get the conveyor belts rolling - so to speak.
In my opinion what appears to be required by SmartMetric at this time is large dollops of Good will being dished out on the part of those investors who have already loaded up in good faith to load up further if we all wish to realise our dreams.
The question each of us investors who wish to see SmartMetric succeed is whether we're prepared to invest further funds to get "product to market".
So whilst we wish to ask management the hard questions it would seem that we need to ask ourselves the harder question.
Are we willing to invest more or encourage our friends to invest to see the release of the SmartMetric payment and identity card(s)?
As I write this post this is the very question I am and have been asking myself this past week! I have more than enough shares I've gone past the point of doing this solely for myself but for the sake of many.
LMU
Well said Duke...................
I was looking forward to your retort.
LMU
I continue to question PR's like those released today.
I get it! We all get it!
Credit card fraud is increasing exponentially.
Smartmetric claim to have the solutions.
At this stage the claims are just that! CLAIMS............
Having arrived at December I would hope - dare I say expect the threshold to be broken with the acquisition of funds required to enable production assuming Ms Hendrick has been successful in her negotiations with those persons on Wall Street.
Given the research and development has been completed then the critical question (NOW) which needs to be addressed is that if funding is unsuccessful at this point in time then I dare say Ms Hendrick and those within her inner circle will need to decide whether they are prepared to give over a proportion of ownership to others to realise the release of the supposed transformative changes the technology will bring.
I would strongly urge the company to refrain further from PR's like those of today until funds are secured and more meaningful news can be released.
Otherwise no one is listening and what is being said is being doubted by those shareholders who have placed their hope and trust in the belief that SmartMetric can actually (physically) produce a solution which they claim to have developed.
LMU
PS: This point is highlighted in OneTrackMind's post 5880 citing remarks made 4 years ago. ("Garbage In -Garbage Out" famous quote)
It's no wonder the market is skeptical and the share price currently sits at 4.8 cents a share.
Stop talking and start doing.................................................
There is no escaping the fact that the company has (up to this time) no sales and no revenues to speak of.
It is equally important to point out that the company currently carries no debt.
I would encourage anyone interested to read the latest 10Q and draw your own conclusions on the differences contained within this report versus those contained in previous reports.
Providing funding is being secured and those arrangements finalised then I would expect even better news to follow in quick step.
LMU
BO,
One word - FUNDING!
(and status of) will determine what's next.
LMU
Matt,
Interesting why(given the contents) your post along with one of mine as well as quite a few others were removed in rather rapid succession.
It would seem for reasons best know to those person(s) who removed a number of posts that we had said something to offend.
I know that the point I was trying to make in the post deleted was to only suggest that it's very easy to criticise and given how close the company is to securing the funding required that perhaps with a concerted effort now would be the time to embrace the difficulties of the past decade and prepare for the exuberance/ jubilation/excitement which lay ahead.
LMU
For everyone's information-
Announcement I received today. This information is available to everyone should you wish to receive it Ok!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A major step forward for SmartMetric in bringing its biometric card to market has been achieved in the signing of an agreement with a large contract electronics and credit card manufacturer in the Far East.
SmartMetric had planned on creating its own manufacturing facility and producing its own cards. To scale up to produce significant quantities of cards the company would have had to have spent estimated upwards of $30million. To have raised that kind of money pre production would have seen a significant impact on the shareholders of SmartMetric and would have taken a great deal of more time before the company would be able to produce its biometric cards in any sizable volume.
The contract manufacturer that SmartMetric has now partnered with in Asia gives the company immediate manufacturing capacity at very competitive pricing that will allow the company to come to market and meet the anticipated demand from its prospective customers around the world.
With an existing production capacity of 250,000 cards a week SmartMetric's contract manufacturer will be able to scale up with little effort to over 1million cards a week. This gives SmartMetric a tremendous manufacturing capacity without the need to lay out substantial funds. It also provides SmartMetric with immediate large scale production capacity from a proven manufacturer that is already in the chip card manufacturing business.
This is an exciting development for the company since it now has completed its many years in Research and Development and now moves into mass manufacturing and sales.
At the heart of the SmartMetric biometric secured payments card is the fingerprint scanner that is built inside the card. This reader is used to scan the card holders fingerprint in order to verify the user. Once a fingerprint match occurs with the users fingerprint that is stored inside the card then a message is sent to the cards surface contact EMV chip that turns this chip on. If the card users fingerprint doesn't match with the fingerprint stored inside the card then the EMV chip will not work at the Point of Sale card reading machine or ATM.
Connected to the fingerprint sensor is a powerful Cortex processor that process the users fingerprint in less than 1 second. Connected to the processor is a memory chip. Powering the SmartMetric biometric card is an internal rechargeable thin battery that in turn is connected to a SmartMetric designed power management system. Other components are embedded inside the card that make the SmartMetric biometric card the world leader in card security solutions.
In order to have the card operate SmartMetric has developed its own powerful in card operating system providing for rapid fingerprint scanning and further functions to be added in the future.
The SmartMetric biometric card is designed to be backward compatible with existing chip card readers and banking systems.
There are over 1.65 billion chip cards in use by banks around the world with an expected 1 billion additional cards from the United States coming online by the end of 2015. The SmartMetric biometric technology brings a higher level of security to these chip cards thereby protecting banks from millions in fraud losses and the consumer from Identity Theft.
The SmartMetric biometric chip card solution is the right solution for todays insecure payments world. Bringing the power of biometrics to the card payments industry.
