Fastforward Innovations Share Discussion Threads

I'm not in the gaming demographic. I looked at a you tube video of coin master. Can anyone tell me what the leading edge technology does in this graphical game that makes it so good? I couldn't tell.

More generally I can see that someone with an innovative edge can licence this to others or clean up on launches but id welcome an explanation for us oldies. Or is it the expertise in the portfolio that yields the advantage rather than the existing product set?

I saw the demo of leap gaming at the PI conference in London and got that.

Seem to be going for the high end, ultra tech gaming market. A sound investment indeed.

[bdog51] 27/7/2016 17:56

Good news, looks like another sound investment.

Visa Europe teams up with SatoshiPay to test Bitcoin micropayments
Wednesday 27 July 2016 | 11:32 AM CET

Visa Europe`s innovation unit has teamed up with SatoshiPay, a global Bitcoin micropayments startup, to test Bitcoin micropayments.

At the beginning of 2016, Visa Europe Collab announced plans to explore Bitcoin micropayments for connected devices. Back then, the company indicated it was looking at use cases like smart light bulbs that could pay for their own electricity.

The project aims to enable automated micropayments from a person’s Visa account to a SatoshiPay wallet, involving the integration of SatoshiPay’s technology with Visa’s card payments structure. As a result, small amounts of Bitcoin could be bought in a safer method using credit and debit cards. With a process for fiat payments in place, the startup will also integrate other payment local methods like direct debit or instant bank transfers.

Visa plans to work with the company to explore how its technology could be used for machine-to-machine payments and IoT devices, according to coindesk.com. Other plans include a future user study conducted in conjunction with Visa Europe Collab on micropayments for web content.

Visa Europe Partners for Bitcoin Micropayments Trial
Stan Higgins | Published on July 26, 2016 at 16:10
Bitcoin micropayments startup SatoshiPay is developing a new proof-of-concept with Visa Europe's innovation unit.

Work on the project was first disclosed earlier this year, when Visa Europe Collab said that it was exploring bitcoin micropayments for connected devices. At the time, the company indicated it was looking at use cases like smart light bulbs that could pay for their own electricity.

The concept, according to SatoshiPay founder Meinhard Benn, involves the integration of the startup’s technology with Visa’s card payments structure, allowing for automated micropayments from a person’s Visa account to a SatoshiPay wallet.

Benn said that the proof-of-concept seeks to "establish a safer method of purchasing small amounts of bitcoin using credit and debit cards".

He told CoinDesk:

"During the PoC, we will establish a safer method of purchasing small amounts of bitcoin using credit and debit cards. With a process for fiat payments in place, we will also integrate other payment local methods like direct debit or instant bank transfers."

Benn said Visa plans to work with the firm to explore how its technology could be used for machine-to-machine payments and IoT devices. Other plans include a future user study conducted in conjunction with Visa Europe Collab on micropayments for web content.

The project isn't Visa Europe Collab’s foray into bitcoin. Last year, the company unveiled a remittance app concept developed in partnership with Epiphyte.

Visa Europe was not immediately available for comment when reached.

Took a few profits and put them in here while it's quiet. We all know how quickly Ffwd can shoot up and then it's hard to buy!!

there has been snippets of news but just not moving, needs a blockbusting RNS I think, its just out of favour at the moment, but sure we still have a few good times ahead,

[moormoney] 25/7/2016 23:24

Still holding and waiting for news. No spare cash to add while the price is down but so tempting!!!

Seems pretty good to me! Amazing what things people come up with and shows the potential applications out there. Seems that we have to trust the board to do what is best and they know better than us. Don't have as large a holding as some here but if this reaches a heady share price one of these days and I retain all I have I don't think I will be too disappointed. May add as the story unfolds and hopefully improves step-by-step.

Well said doodlebug! I dont know why people read anything from that failure TW.

[moormoney] 21/7/2016 12:59

Thank you Kenway. TW is not respected by many on these boards.

[flashheart] 21/7/2016 12:44

I would actually question his current affluence Lauders. Echoes more of a sad and bitter failure. Anyway all good going forward here with much to look forward to in the very near future on lots of fronts.

[lauders] 21/7/2016 12:31

Seems like TW is pushing OPTI. I actually wouldn't mind taking a stake in OPTI but to be honest his involvement in them has put me off! He may be correct and they will do well (I think they may well do which is why I am interested), but his negative stance here is actually a signal to invest. He is not exactly the most pleasant person I am led to understand & so doing the opposite of what he suggets with FFWD sounds OK to me. TW is much richer than I am of course, so he must get some things right, whether he has a conscience is another matter.

[doodlebug4] 21/7/2016 12:19

I'm not sure why that sell trade, which was already declared at 16.26 last night, has been declared as an L trade just recently this morning.

On the point about Yooya's viewing figures, it wouldn't make any sense for the company to manipulate the numbers regarding the viewing figures as potential advertisers would check to find out if the figures quoted were accurate.

[mustardmark] 21/7/2016 12:19

I doubt TW even appears on their radar - anyone who follows recommendations made on a bulletin board or tipster/share recommendation without doing their own necessary due diligence only have themselves to blame if it all goes curly wurly!!

[rafboy] 21/7/2016 12:15

Another 300k trade just gone through delayed from yesterday. Suspect it is connected to the trade late yesterday of similar value.

[kenway] 21/7/2016 10:51

Emailed the company following TW's article and this was their response-:

"Thanks for your interest in the company and for sending this note.
Specifically, the RNS from Yooya today spoke to 2 metrics tracked by the company, lifetime views and monthly views.

First, I would like to provide some background on the reason Yooya tracks each of the two metrics, as lifetime views and monthly views are two important but different indicators. Lifetime views speaks to the sustained quality and high marketability of the video creators that Yooya signs, including all views of such creators' content both prior to and after signing with Yooya, while monthly views refers to the number of times their videos are watched on Yooya's network in a given month after being signed by Yooya.

We disclose lifetime views because it's a key metric for Yooya and for the advertisers to which the company markets, who want to buy ads alongside video creators who have a strong, long-term following and large audience. As such, we believe that disclosing lifetime views assists our shareholders in better understanding the quality and strength of Yooya's content partners.

As noted, monthly views is simply the number of times a video has been viewed within Yooya's network in the current month. The growth trajectory of this metric is meaningful, as this is the inventory of content that Yooya can offer to advertisers who want to begin a campaign across Yooya's network of creators.

By way of example, Yooya may sign a content partner with 200 million lifetime views at the time of signing, whose views before signing with Yooya will then be added to Yooya's calculation of total lifetime views. Such new content partner's videos may then reach 10 million views in the month after signing with Yooya.

As you see, the attached article incorrectly calculates Yooya's lifetime views by assuming that they metric only tracks the views of such partner's content after signing with Yooya, when the previously accumulated views are reflected as well, as they should be, as they indicate the sustained audience of the newly signed content partner.

Last, although we cannot selectively disclose information, I can tell you that the article's estimation of FastForward's current cash position is incorrect by a wide margin"
