I notice there's an article in Moneyweek on Cryptocurrencies.........

perhaps that's why there's a resurgence of interest here today?

I read some time ago about the need for nanopayments on the web.
So it makes such sense,in my mind.

On the move, some nice buying now.

[hazl] 07/6/2017 13:16

Look to me like someone's puffing this like mad. Maybe whoever rolled the 7m today.
I don't care, will keep my eye on it and might even buy some

Hazl.If you visit the link on a computer, it's easier to filter results. Search for Bitcoin or Blockchain and there are plenty of results. However, search for "nanopayment" and satoshipay are the only company worldwide.

There are NO other "nanopayment" startup Companies anywhere in the world at this time. Satoshi need to get this first mover grip on the market and make themselves the go-to solution for content sellers and payment processors.

Looks like google will be introducing their own micro-payments system. Does it leave Satoshipay dead in the water or will they incorporate Satoshipay. Will other browsers follow suit, will they use Satoshipay or are their alternatives.


"Google is launching an adblocker for its Chrome browser next year, according to multiple reports (and confirming rumors from the spring). It will allow publishers to charge readers who have other adblockers installed a set amount per pageview, the Financial Times reported:


[Google] is launching “funding choices” where publishers can set a price per page view for consumers using ad blockers to pay — or abandon their blockers and see the ads. Google will track how many pages people view and charge them through a new version of their Google Contributor service.



Google’s own Chrome-native adblocker is expected to be turned on by default on both mobile and desktop, according to The Wall Street Journal, and will filter out “unacceptable ads,” guided in part by guidelines released by the industry group Coalition for Better Ads (of which Google, alongside other advertising companies, is a member).



Google is the dominant player in digital advertising — accounting for 40.7 percent of digital ad revenues in the U.S., according to eMarketer forecasts. It eats up 78 percent of total revenues from search ads in the U.S., and continues to grow adoption of its AMP format.

Google hasn’t announced or confirmed its Chrome adblocker or micropayments-for-adblock-users plan — and considers it a “filter,”; not a “blocker”; — but it’s been briefing publishers and advertisers, according to the Journal, reportedly giving publishers a six-month heads up to prepare:


To help publishers prepare, Google will provide a self-service tool called “Ad Experience Reports,” which will alert them to offending ads on their sites and explain how to fix the issues. The tool will be provided before the Chrome ad blocker goes live, the people familiar with the plans say.

As described to publishers, Google’s feature will block all ads on sites that have a certain level of unacceptable ads. Publishers have been advised to ensure their sites are compliant if they want their ads to be displayed."

apfindley...a good find. Just need more people to appreciate the situation..

[apfindley] 04/6/2017 22:13

Encouraging.... Searching on fintechstartup.co There are a few worldwide companies entering the bitcoin arena. Many are likely to be clingons with questionable security and intentions. However, it's great to see that despite things getting busy worldwide on Bitcoin, there is only ONE 1 company worldwide, developing themselves as a "nanopayment" solution...... And that is Satoshipay.

I've just been looking at the long term chart for BLU, the company listed at 10p in 2004 and the share price actually reached 19p in 2005. Without looking through all the old news I guess there must have been some really bad investments made over the years to get the share price down to this level. Surely the recent investment in SatoshiPay will prove to be a turnaround point for Blue Star.

I don't think this info/interview has been posted on this thread before:

INTERVIEW: SatoshiPay Founder Meinhard Benn talks Blockchain Technology & Bitcoin

Blue Star Capital Plc (LON:BLU) recently invested in digital payment company SatoshiPay. The successful funding was lead by early supporter Jim Mellon. With blockchain technology having the potential to revolutionise the world economy DirectorsTalk caught up with SatoshiPay founder Meinhard Benn to find out more. Meinhard started programming from the age of 12, took to bitcoin and blockchain technology in 2011 and founded SatoshiPay in 2014 as a payment processing platform for tiny payments. While this interview provides a little insight into blockchain technology feel free to message Meinhard directly on twitter @meinharrd with any questions or follow the company @SatoshiPay.

SatoshiPay believe its technology will provide a direct alternative to paywalls and subscriptions, currently adopted by some media companies, and should instead enable users to pay for consumption on a per article, per song or per download basis; or for content to be consumed and paid for on an incremental basis (payment per paragraph or minute of audio or video content). SatoshiPay works without software download or sign-up for the user (save for creation/top up of an online wallet). Payments are instant and the user’s wallet balance is available on each website that integrates the SatoshiPay software.

Blue Star Capital Plc is an investing company with a focus on technology and its applications within media and gaming. Blue Star’s investments include a holding in Disruptive Tech Limited, an investing company with five investments including a 38% holding in VNU Group LLC (“VNU”) a speciality online direct retailer of premium goods paid for through an instant credit facility and a holding in Nektan PL; an investment in Sthaler, an early stage identity and payments technology business which enables a consumer to identify themselves and pay using just their finger at retail points of sale.

"Nearly 1/5th of satoshi, for #BLU, a £2m market cap company.
So satoshi worth only £10m? "
You're fogetting that BLU has other investments worth around £1.8 million, so the 19% of SatoshiPay is in for nothing. On that basis SatoshiPay has no value at all!

Coin is still a good investment and benefits from movement by low liquidity.... But that can unfortunately work in both directions. Coin do have some minority stakes in their other investments, as does BLU eg Sthaler, but for me, BLU does offer the best exposure to satoshipay, and I think that's gonna be a "biggie or takeover".Meinhard is a focused guy and I reckon he'll make a huge success of Satoshipay.

[doodlebug4] 02/6/2017 15:18

That's one of the reasons I have been buying BLU and not COIN !:-)

[apfindley] 02/6/2017 15:15

a comparison .......

-----------------
Coinsillium
Market Cap = £4.2m
Satoshpay stake = 12%
Implied Satoshi value = 350k per 1% ( =£35m )
-----------------
Blue Star Capital
Market cap = £1.98m
Satoshipay stake = 19.1%
Implied Satoshi value = 103k per 1% ( =£10.3m )
-----------------

As you can see the price of Coinsillium is now over "THREE" times as expensive as Blue Star for its equivalent stake in Satoshipay.

Life changing movement could lay ahead. Nearly 1/5th of satoshi, for #BLU, a £2m market cap company. So satoshi worth only £10m? I don't think so.!!!!! Satoshipay will be worth several hundred million, and a very likely a takeover target.
