What does that mean?

A mention of AI from FFWD earlier in the day has me musing over whether or not it's a new venture or a tie in with existing business Insilico. (In Silico Medicine) for those of you new to it means computational medicine or the direct use of computer, modelling and simulation in diagnosis.

Alex Zhavaronkov and his team have developed via Data analytics collated over a number of years an AI Programme which helps identify and isolate new molecules which they then model and predict trial outcomes.

Why?

The point of it all is to lessen the time it takes to test on animals, human trials and make the whole process more efficient for larger pharmaceutical firms.

"Generative adversarial text synthesis" or GANS

This from what I understand of it is the pitting of two high powered Artificial Intelligence programmes against each other to solve a problem. One trying to outsmart or trick the other.

The outcome is a new model for whichever problem they're trying to solve.

Now Alex didn't reveal what they came up with at his recent roadshow but did say they were going to announce it THIS SUMMER.

It's SUMMER NOW : )

I would urge those of you that are interested to watch Alex's presentation and take particular note near the last quarter.

Sleep Well

Is sareum expectant of news soon?

Very good Alan Watts : )

Off the top of my head. We have 2 million and 850k or so in treasury shares.

Feel free for one of the numbers guys can jump in and correct me.

"We have been negotiating terms with Factom as an early investor in its proposed Series B fundraising for the last six months and we believe the SAFE structure - common in the US - gives FastForward real upside on the successful close of the Series B round"

I think this paragraph is the heads up.

Fair play Rich , I hadn't thought of that.

My issue is that people at optiva shouldn't be breaking protocol and feeding inside information to known con men regarding stock.

I like to think I have some integrity when it comes to promoting FFWD so the leak alone has upset me.

We have a great portfolio and I've little doubt it'll work out well for us in the end.

This in between bit though is infuriating. It's like F*cking purgatory.

BIG POSITIONS IN BIG COMPANIES

I've already made Ed aware that the market shouldn't be hearing things like that from people like him.

TW is and always will be an idiot.

Seriously

Why is everyone so defensive?

I was asking you to cast your eye over something. I wasn't questioning what you wrote. I thought it may be of interest to you?

Evening Manifesto

That post was for context only and as another person has already mentioned Bitmain are at a greater advantage as they reportedly build their own machines.

Not wanting to mislead just food for thought

When it comes. it will lock you out.

Scoop: Bitcoin Mining Company Bitmain Hit $1.1 Billion in Profits in Q1 2018

The co-CEO of Bitmain Technologies, the world’s largest cryptocurrency mining company, recently revealed plans to conduct an initial public offering in Hong Kong, or in an overseas market with U.S. dollar-denominated shares. The IPO would give early investors, including Sequoia Capital and IDG Capital, an opportunity to cash out.

Term Sheet has obtained an email from a source close to the company, which includes some of Bitmain’s latest financials ahead of its planned IPO.

— Bitmain is raising further cash in addition to a $400M round reported in early June. The new funding would value Bitmain at approximately $14 billion, implying a 10 to 11x earnings multiple, according to the email. This is a 16.6% increase from the company’s most recently reported $12 billion valuation.

— The email cites a KPMG audit of the business and reports that Bitmain produced $1.2 billion in net profit and an approximately 50% net margin in 2017.

— Bitmain reportedly brought in $1.1 billion in net profit just in the first quarter of 2018. According to the email, a conservative estimate of what the company could earn in net profit for the full year hovers at approximately $2 to $3 billion.

Actually there are longer term holders here than myself.

And whilst I am very up to date with the portfolio I couldn't do it without the collective of the community.

but thanks for the vote of confidence Forthewin.

Look lets stop attacking each other and lets get on with getting the news out.

I want everyone to win off the back of this.

: )

I'm not splitting hairs with you : )

I was interested to see if you knew something that we'd missed.

Where have you heard that Lorne had a meeting with MGM?

FFWD had had a meeting with IMG.
