Thanks AC, I appreciate people have worked hard and lost there jobs here and it's not all about the shareholders.
With regards to STC, you mention there was little demand for STC, but in July 2022 RNS Number : 1166R states Skin Trust Club, generated £1m plus in sales. Now this was presumably partner product sales via the app, which dvrg would have received a revenue share (and we dont know what that share is). Given 20,000 members 1m in sales doesn't sound implausible with an AOV of £50. Indeed this 'phenomenal business', was generating demand of 1000 something per hour (noting the lack of key details, which is very subtle).

Thanks AC, you obviously know a lot more than we do about this company. So what about some of the contract announcements made in the RNS. Are these all real and just can't be fulfilled or were some of them invented by you know who?

I'm interested T.rat, because something unusual has been going in here and people have lost money due to misdirection, so I wonder what your purpose is? I'm not drdoolittle BTW. There are plenty of others still trying to figure out what has been going on and who should be taken to account. You are right on one thing. These anonymous boards are a potential sesspit of misinformation, a short sellers, bs paradise. However, we were also led my misforecasts and information very difficult to verify. The only thing we should have listened to is the old adage. 'If it looks to good to be true, it probably is'.
T.rat. just out of interest, why are you still posting news vaguely related to dvrg as if there is still hope? A lot of people have been caught out by the ramping on this board, myself included, which isn't very funny considering what has gone on with the company. You like research, I suggest you research what went wrong. That would be interesting.
So, I would just like to know just for peace of mind, did STC really have 20k members and 30k samples? And were thre samples actually from the STC members or from somewhere else? Labskin? Animals maybe? And what happened to the 82% KPI of members receiving a kit, going on to purchase with AOV of £170, with a decent affiliate commussion or maybe not so good affiliate commission. And why only 29 reviews on android with only 1k+ downloads (max 5k)?
I feel another book is in order.

So I guess we're waiting for the results of the 6 microtox pd units installed last March/April 2022. I guess they've had a year to test now, so I wonder if we'll get to hear any news in the next 2 months. I guess the scientists take a while deliberating trials. They wouldn't invest in a national system after just a couple of months and no doubt they will have been testing competitive solution. So far I havent seen any decision on a national sentinel monitoring solution so i guess there is still all to play for.

Just noticed this on the STC review after receding their email. Dated 22.03.2023. Kind of suggests STC maybe up and running again hence the emails.
No results provided after months of waiting. Absolutely pointless.
Hi Garfield, we are very sorry for the delay.
Postal strikes and global supply chain caused an unprecedented hold-up in our service, which has now been resolved.
Certainly we suspected STC was in trouble, so if the US info is correct, that wouldn't be a surprise. Those investing in the raise must surely of had a whiff of something more sweet ahead? A whisper of the Glanaco deal in advance perhaps? Or maybe a takeover by Mr Waters and friends. Difficult to see why a CFO would join a sinking ship. There has been a lot of staff turnover this year following the lock down, so I'm wary of drawing conclusions from a 1 poster, who maybe just concocting a tale from LinkedIn employee leaving dates to short the shares.
Well, nobody saw that coming. Apart from the chosen few who bought in last Thursday. I wonder when they actually won the contract as they managed to stick 3.2m into last years revenue. Maybe they were expecting to post the rest in to hit the 24m, but t got delayed. The deepverge plot thickens.
I'm not am expert, but I would presume a low trade volume share like dvrg would be risky to p and d as you risk not being able to dump. Let's hope there is some good news coming for a change and someone was taking a dump in a cubicle and overheard a conversation.
Deja vu. Price dropping, no-one has a clue what's going on. Fear is that someone knows something from the inside, but there is no official news to base anything on. Anymegative rumours maybe just short sellers, but Muggins proved to be right of course. Hopefully, it's just nerves and pople holding back from buying until we get an update. Who knows? Even the rampers are hiding. Let's hope the US can bear more fruit.
Not much going on. I find myself looking for clues in the last RNS. For me it's all about modern water. I've given up on the dreams.
Licence revenues featured strongly as the Group moves progressively from small and medium ticket equipment sales to larger £1m+ data and AI focused sales through partners.
I really don't get STC. Traffic monitoring from semrush suggests the site has had significant traffic, but the android download count remains at 1k+ which means between 1-5k and there are just very few reviews (android should be taking around 50% of the market). STC on Facebook only has 806 followers which doesn't feel right unless the monks were asleep all this time. I can see very few real mentions on twitter and Instagram. Something doesn't add up and only the hair tonic salesman knows the answer.
OK thanks, so the British Business award nomination look legit. Over to shorty.
So is https://english.instrument.com.cn/ that gave the award a legit site? I can't read Chinese, but thats the apparent english version. Was really the product really shortlisted from 9000 products from 1500 companies by a panel of experts? Must have taken them a while. I remember how amazing it sounded at the time.
Here you go short. This is the one that gave me confidence in dvrg. Is it real or not?

T.Rat. you must have data on these stats. I'm not looking to de-ramp, but I have lost money on dvrg. I can only see 1k+ downloads on the play store. You have to download the app to sign up to STC. Android Play store only shows 1k+. Seems low. Are the apple store downloads much higher?
Has anyone verified the apple and play store download counts for the STC app. I don't know if you need to be in the US?
OK, sorry, so nothing.
