That is an odd trade as there are 3 other 4 million share trades at 0.1177(x2) and 0.1233 which all followed that 0.07 trade. Volume now 20.4 million and the share price has dropped 3.85%. Are we going to see a large volume day?

From the sublime to ridiculous - anyone ready to admit selling 4m shares at 0.07 this morning? That's gotta hurt

[rew8080] 30/10/2019 20:24

Looks like a cross

2 trades have just appeared on LSE each 25 million shares both buys one at 0.13988 and the next at 0.14 a few seconds later. So maybe a rollover but they are £35000 transactions.

WOW !!

Did I just see two buys as delayed trades of 25,000,000 each
for a total of seventy grand ????
According to the L-S-E site I did .

Would someone double check please ?

Volume of 5.3 million and UP 12%. This is pretty low volume in cash terms but is a reminder of how it can move and a decent gain is always welcome.

Nice ----- and about time!

[nico115] 30/10/2019 16:37

[rew8080] 30/10/2019 16:37

BLU on the move

[doodlebug4] 30/10/2019 15:02

Blue Star needs to update the company website to include the new investments listed in the RNS dated 14 October.

[rew8080] 30/10/2019 14:32

not much stock around in BLU; trying to buy limited at 0.12p and not getting filled

Hardly surprising that Meinhard doesn't want to talk about sales right now, but he's going to have to deliver at some point in the near future. He can't keep passing the hat around for more and more funding every year. imo

Thank you norfolktrade. Here is part of the article for anyone who can't get the link to work:

Benn does not want to talk about sales. You're still at the beginning, he says, you're not profitable. So far, the environmental magazine Fairplanet, the British medium The Register, the Bitcoin magazine BTC Echo and the shareholder Satoshipay are making use of this. In addition, the publishing house Axel Springer will soon integrate the payment service into one of its online magazines, says Benn.

Axel Springer (see disclaimer under the article) is also one of the main investors of Satoshipay. In 2014, the startup had gone through the accelerator of the publishing house, after which he joined as a shareholder. In addition, include Bluestar Capital from London, the stock market media AG and several business angels such as the British star investor Jim Mellon to the lenders. All in all, they have collected 4.1 million euros in venture capital, says Benn.
He founded his first tech startup in 1999

The 41-year-old founded Satoshipay 2014 together with Henning Peters and Kilian Thalhammer. He was already enthusiastic about tech issues as a student, he says: "I've been a programmer since I was 12." In 1999, he founded his first startup, where he set up "Linux-based Internet Surf Terminals in Youth Hostels" he says. "You could throw money in the machine and then surf the Internet."

Benn, who describes himself as a central bank critic, became aware of cryptocurrencies in 2011. He had minted Bitcoin on his own computer at that time, "at that time it was still possible". Two years later, he saw startups around Bitcoin. "I wanted to be there," he says. In 2014, Benn founded Satoshipay. The name was actually a placeholder, named after the Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. "But funny enough, it stayed that way."

Initially, Benn wanted to do something different with Satoshipay than a payment solution for online media. The idea was to develop interfaces so traders could accept Bitcoin and pay people in their everyday lives. Buying bread by Bitcoin, that would have liked Benn. "But then the Bitcoin network grew beyond its capabilities, transactions became slow and crazy expensive," he says. So he looked for other business ideas - and saw a gap in the payment of online content.That was four years ago. Why does Satoshipay take so long? "We initially bet on Bitcoin and then switched to Stellar," says Benn. The conversion took time. "In addition, research and development took longer than we had planned. What we wanted to do was not there yet. "
Whether the publishers join is uncertain

Now that the business model and technology are in place, Satoshipay aims to win customers worldwide. "If that happens, we can serve a multi-billion dollar market," says Benn. The biggest hurdle he sees in winning over the publishers. "The publishers of course prefer to subscribe, because they have revenue with which they can plan," he expresses his concerns. The media are worried about losing their subscribers with the micropayment model. "We do not see ourselves as a replacement for subscription models, but as a supplement," says Benn.

If that does not work, he has already developed another application for Satoshipay. Companies should be able to pay employees worldwide via the startup service - especially in far and less developed countries such as Nigeria. With the blockchain technology one can save time and money when paying abroad, says Benn.

He is sure that Blockchain has a future. That was like the Internet in the late nineties. "There was only the hype, then burned a lot. But then there were real use cases, "he says. "And that's exactly what happens with Blockchain."

:-) Trying to post a Google translation of an article in a German business magazine about SatoshiPay which was published today stoxx ! You can find the link to the article on Meinhard"s twitter account.

errrrrr.... thanks DB

[kernel_pult1] 28/10/2019 12:49

If the ask price goes lower than 0.10p then I will average down again... I hold a few of these and hope we never see those prices again.... onwards and upwards

[hootza616] 28/10/2019 11:44

I wonder if all the news from China will give Satoshipay a boost?ARB flying again!

[kernel_pult1] 28/10/2019 10:53

Dave I've seen it happen many times with FT articles pasted onto websites like this one

[tesladave] 28/10/2019 10:45

Most sites are now blocked from copy so can’t be pasted

[kernel_pult1] 28/10/2019 09:59

It's about time...... I hope Satoshipay can start to pull out some results soon with these cross border payments. My realistic view is I believe they are swimming upstream trying to go down the pay for articles road - what's stopping someone from paying for an article and then doing the old copy and paste trick onto a free bulletin board for non-payers to see? This means lost revenue for Satoshipay................That being said..... I am intersted to see what they have got up their sleeve for later this year.... taken from the most recent RNS "SatoshiPay will continue to develop its publishing vertical as it has a number of key relationships within this sector and anticipates announcing transactions later this year."

CHART is looking a lot better.
