Will qualify that was in talking about the editing environment and systems used and their desires, can not say how many followed on with testing and providing feedback.

"Has there been confirmation it is "hundreds"?"

They mentioned numbers at the AGM meeting

So how many people do folks think have signed up and yet to be given access to play with the new offering?

What happens a fortnight before launch when all given access simultaneously having waited so long? I would think there will be a great deal of chatter on this and other more relevant "editorial" chat rooms. Hopefully a buzz created and the first wave of advertising is generated by allowing people to use for the first time and have them spread the word/opinion (hopefully excitement? with follow on and additional from Blackbird themselves.

Blackbird have confirmed they have been working with hundreds of content creators to fine tune and ensure the initial offering is already something that is wanted and gives creators a product they just don't have currently.

It has been a long dark winters night for many investors, a short summers night for new investors, but the Blackbird is waking and the distant first sounds are being heard building to a full dawns chorus within the next weeks.

I assume all the early testers will be on a freebie for a while anyway as a thank you. So you are right it might not be needed initially.

I can't see a paywall being a big issue - that should be the easiest bit.

I guess testing will always be going on as more and more features are prepared and added to the platform.

I hesitate to say this, but I guess one of the possibilities is that it is now ready for a particular customer to do final preparations for it's launch!!
The detail of what comes next and how it will be achieved is all frustratingly uncertain, but the longer the lack of prelaunch publicity goes on, the more curious it becomes.

I can’t find my notes from SE but from memory the paywall was to go live mid March, so possibly the early access for non testers is to cough up to test the paywall?

I assume they won’t just switch it on for launch

[bonio10000] 20/2/2024 09:41

Unless the ramped up testing has started and they have not announced it or managed to keep it completely quiet - I can't see a Q1 launch.

Monday would give them 5 weeks maximum of such testing.

Given the period since initial testing - that seems too skinny to me.

That or they don't really think they need any more testing.

Not long to go, bet it feels like the longest 6 weeks ever. Hoping for one more top up before launch

[geheimnis2] 19/2/2024 20:03

Maximum 6 Cowboy Boot Fridays before launch

More likely 5 given the sixth is last day of March

Pre arranged share transfer. Then again a few of those look like rollovers which would not impact the price.

[hairflick] 19/2/2024 15:18

salmon1 - obviously following the double-entry bookkeeping principles to the letter. For every debit there must be a credit, if my memory from O-Level Accounts serves me right?

Miraculous MM managing volume of 2,440,669 share so far today and not any move at all in the share price! Takes some doing I would have thought!!

[cabi1] 19/2/2024 12:16

HB.

Good point.

So outright Buys at 7 then.

I can’t get a fixed quote for even 1k today to Buy.

Mind you it’s a U.S holiday today, so that might be why.

In my experience, B&I's are always done at the lowest sell price so as to transfer the largest number of shares into the ISA.

[horneblower] 19/2/2024 12:08

The 2 x 281,482 shares def like B&I's but not the 500k, as too big for ISA allowance.

[johnveals] 19/2/2024 12:01

Four and twenty Blackbirds baked in a pie?

[cabi1] 19/2/2024 11:30

I think the 2 x 500k, 350k and 250k at 7 are all Buys.

Something cooking?

Unless they are all bed & isa and they will release the other side later, to confuse everyone.
