It will be interesting to see how online publishers similar to The Times and Telegraph juggle the options as to whether their revenues will profit more from having monthly/yearly subscribers or a pay-per-view page system.

I liked this bit....

'adoption and usage will surge over the next few years.'

reference to mobile payments

thanks doodle

Exactly. I've no idea about pricing for articles, that is purely down to individual Content providers, and will vary considerably. But it's an example of how it could/will hopefully work for ALL types of online Content. Reading, viewing, listening, downloading.... Anything that's worth paying a small amount of money for, but the amounts are too small to process card transactions. Even Joe blogs should be able to setup his (legitimate and legal) website to sell his own produced Content to anybody, by having the satoshipay api on his website.

Very good points apfindley. As a matter of interest I just looked to see how much it would cost me to subscribe to The Times and it's £6 per week and I would have to take out a minimum 12 month sub.

I'd rather not the finger-print method personally.

[apfindley] 19/5/2017 14:55

And would you rather pay upto a quid on a weekday (or upto two quid at weekends) for a whole newspaper...... When you can Instead pay a penny or two for each article that Interests you.

[hazl] 19/5/2017 14:40

That's just it findley I would find it very useful at a click of a button to pay for articles minus all the kerfuffle.
Its crying out to be done.


Thanks for your input.

When you look at the PayPal stats = 200million users & 16 million merchants, you can understand why Blue Star are excited about the tie-up with SatoshiPay and the impact it will have on their user base.

[doodlebug4] 19/5/2017 12:06

A simple explanation from Meinhard on how the SatoshiPay/PayPal system works. Easy peasy:-)

[hazl] 19/5/2017 12:03

I think we have more buyers again,by the looks of it.

[hazl] 19/5/2017 10:28

No, thank you doodle.
I am still researching and finding it fascinating.
Haven't so much time on a Friday though.

[doodlebug4] 19/5/2017 10:04

Thank you for your earlier posts hazl, some interesting reading there.

[hazl] 19/5/2017 09:47

look in later....

[hazl] 19/5/2017 09:40

Take it you approve then apfindly? ))

[apfindley] 19/5/2017 09:32

Satoshipay is going to be massive... What's about 1/5th of massive? A helluva lot more than £2mill that's for sure. FIFTY BAG minimum.

[hazl] 19/5/2017 09:22

Very good doodle.
At least one of these firms should do well I would have thought!
Blu Star has made some discerning choices I think.

WATCH this space as they say!

[doodlebug4] 19/5/2017 09:20

I agree that the SatoshiPay tie-up with PayPal is a game changer. More news from PayPal here;

[doodlebug4] 19/5/2017 09:08

Some news out a few days ago about Sthaler.

[hazl] 19/5/2017 09:07

I am quite pleased with the potential here.

See how it goes.

'Blue Star is pleased to announce that one of its investee companies Sthaler Limited ("Sthaler") has successfully raised GBP3million at a pre-new money valuation of GBP20 million. This represents a significant uplift to the post-new money value of Sthaler of approximately GBP9.4 million in January 2017 when Sthaler last raised capital. Blue Star invested GBP50,000 into Sthaler in June 2015 as part of a total raise by Sthaler of GBP450,000 with a post money valuation at that time of GBP3.4 million.'








This has also been announced this month...


'Sthaler is an identity and payments technology business which enables a consumer to identify themselves and pay using just their finger at retail points of sale.

The Company has to date invested GBP50,000 in Sthaler. This latest round of investment in Sthaler values the Company's stake of 1 per cent. at GBP227,000.

Sthaler is a UK based technology business that has jointly developed Fingopay in conjunction with Hitachi. Fingopay uses a unique finger vein ID process which is considered to be more secure than finger print readers and faster than chip and pin operations. The technology is widely adopted in Japan and it is Sthaler's aim to commercialise the technology in the area of payments globally.

Tony Fabrizi CEO of Blue Star commented: "We are pleased to see Sthaler is continuing to attract investment and we look forward to Stahler announcing further customers
