''Management is likewise pleased with the Group's continuing progress in monetizing opportunities from its portfolio beyond straight DNS based registrations through its Innovation activity. To that end, it notes that over 0.60m underlying identifiers have already been blocked in the first 106 AdultBlock+ sales, the Group's registrar partners having only just begun introducing the product to their customers in September. Separately, approximately 0.5m onchain identifiers have now been reserved for registration within MMX's .luxe R&D project by the first two wallet partners as part of the freemium strategy being used in the pilot phase to enable wallet providers to offer their users a single simple address solution for the multiple separately addressed wallets per currency each customer has to use.

could this be something to do with the freemiums that has been mentioned?

for SJ I take it? Not quite sure what the consequences are but it sounds like his new venture AVsecure has been scuppered somewhat!

'UK's controversial 'porn blocker' plan dropped'

yes Tap, I take your point it does look a bit pathetic, but I think it's mainly down to it not biting anyone in the bum just yet, and peeps will always wait until the last minute.
Some will hopefully be persuaded to get in before the year end for the discounts, but some will wait until nearer the time in 2021 I expect.
But I see no reason why they can't be looking to target 35k+ reg's (50% of ICM total) before or at renewal time. Time will tell of course. Just being positive Tap..I know it's feckin hard here sometimes..lol
So not all imminent but over the next 18 months it should be very fruitful imo.

for me it's a relatively easy sell once you get a few well known brands onboard and you can 'namedrop' them into the conversation so to speak. You get one or two signed up and the rest will follow imo. They will all take the premium Adultblock+ too...

Let's remind ourselves, c/o Domainincite a while ago; The first line is why it will do well imo.

''But trademark owners are buying peace of mind that their brands won’t be registered as porn sites, and the cost of that peace of mind just increased tenfold.
AdultBlock domains don’t resolve, and are a lot cheaper than domain registrations.
Renewing a single string in all four gTLDs at 101domain prices would cost around $480 a year, so customers will pay about 27% less buying a block instead.
The cost of the first year for those four domains would be $360, just $11 more than the AdultBlock price, according to 101domain’s price list.
MMX, which acquired the gTLD portfolio from ICM last year, is offering a discount on the AdultBlock+ service for customers buying before the end of 2019.
101domain is offering 10 years of AdultBlock+ for $3,999, a saving of $3,500''.

well if the trademark owners etc don't get themselves sorted before 2021 and it lapses isn't it a free for all and they could lose their opportunity to safeguard their good names/trademarks against the 'bad' operators out there.
Is that how it works?

you say that Tap, but how come SJL pulled in $13m+ off XXX alone ? The demand is there,.. isn't it?

I suppose the only sticking point is that the original deal does not expire until 2021 I believe, so many will wait until the death so to speak.
Let's hope they can persuade plenty to take advantage of the 'early bird' deals that will end at 31st December

I think the premier product is well north of the$200/300 you mention. I also expect that most will plump for that one too so upping the average figure.

I have asked the question with Walbrook and they confirm Illumina is expected 'early ' next year with rollout across Europe during the year. So no slippage it seems.

yes SB, agree with you there as I think $10m is very gettable. Who knows, if the adultblock comes good then we could be looking at even bigger numbers.
If ICM pulled in some $13/14m (one off) dollars nearly ten years ago, how much now I wonder can be achieved, with a superior product/s too I believe.
Didn't SJ mention they got around 70/80k reg's just for XXX alone, or have I made/dreamt that bit up? lol

I think I prefer your outcome Tap. Don't want to get involved with Cnic tbh. In the meantime .Vip adds another 15.5k + and .Work another handy 2.2k+

they have added over 210k domains. Not sure what the revenue from that lot is but it looks pretty impressive. No doubt low and freemiums dominate those figures.

ha ha! reduce float, wow! that will really catch the imagination eh? 925m float reduced to 909m , a grand 1.5% ,...oooh!,.. I need to pat my goosebumps down. lol.
People want hard cash it seems,...and right now, feck the longer term 'improved' metrics. I can't book my holiday on potential future metrics, I can with hard cash, and might even re-invest the change with more shares here..

who is excited about the fact that even if they spend the whole £1m on shares at around the current price then we will ONLY have about 909m shares left in the company.That is about 1.5% less than it was..Is it really going to make anyone sit up and think wow! must get some of them?
Will a tender offer make any investors interested?
Or, will it make any investors sit up and notice if they announce a progressive dividend policy?
Hmmmm! I wonder which?

I don't think the markets take much notice when a ceo lectures his company's sp is low and that is the reason for the buyback, then refuses to buy any of his own shares in that very company. Very hollow words Mr Hall I'm afraid!

yes, on the face of it there does seem to be someone offloading millions.

sp won't go anywhere if the trades are all close to the bid. Thinking about the potential progressive divi, I can't see TH being in favour as it will only put more pressure on him to produce ever more 'progressive' profits. Just my opinion of course.

ladies,.. ladies!!
