Namaste $N.ca Announces October 2017 Sales of $1.3M and Provides Corporate Update $ATT.ca $ABCN.ca $ACG.ca $ACB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, November 8th, 2017

Nlogo

  • October 2017 sales as reported by the Company were C$1,313,653
  • Representing a 1% month-on-month increase and a 174% year-on-year increase in comparison with September 2017 and October 2016, respectively

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 08, 2017 — Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N) (FRANKFURT:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce October 2017 unaudited sales as reported by the Company (including shipping revenues after discounts and refunds) were C$1,313,653 representing a 1% month-on-month increase and a 174% year-on-year increase in comparison with September 2017 and October 2016, respectively. The Company is also pleased to announce that it has submitted an amendment to its application with Health Canada for its wholly owned subsidiary Cannmart Inc. (“CannMart”) to include the sale of medical cannabis oils.

The table below displays a breakdown of Namaste’s revenue by sales channel.

While Namaste continues to see strong revenue leading in to the holiday season, the Company has also made substantial progress with CannMart, having now submitted an amendment on its application to include a license for the sale of cannabis oils under the Canadian Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) program. Construction of the CannMart facility will commence in late November, 2017 and the Company estimates a 6-8 week turnaround time for completion.

Namaste’s Canadian business represents approximately 5.5% of the Company’s total revenue and includes a consumer database of over 11,000 people with an average of 30,000 site visits per month. Namaste plans to leverage its data through CannMart to become Canada’s premiere online retailer for medical cannabis. The Company intends to pursue similar opportunities in other territories in which the Company maintains a large market share of cannabis users. Further to the Company’s joint press release dated November 7, 2017, Namaste has seen positive results in terms of vaporizer sales in a medical cannabis platform. These results further validate the Company’s intention of creating and leveraging a globally diversified database of cannabis users.

Management Commentary
Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste, comments: “We are very pleased not only to announce strong sales figures for October 2017, but also to provide these important updates on CannMart. The amended application to include the sale of cannabis oils is a crucial part of our plan to become Canada’s leading online retailer for medical cannabis products. As Namaste is already the largest global retailer of vaporizers products and accessories, we truly understand the need for patients to have access to a variety of consumption devices for dried flower as well as oils and we believe that medical patients should be offered a larger variety of product sourced from multiple licensed producers. We are very much looking forward to receiving our distribution license and have high expectations for this as a new revenue vertical for the Company.”

About Namaste Technologies Inc.
Namaste is the largest online retailer for medical cannabis delivery systems globally. Namaste distributes vaporizers and smoking accessories through e-commerce sites in 26 countries and with 5 distribution hubs located around the world. Namaste has majority market share in Europe and Australia, with operations in the UK, US, Canada and Germany and has opened new supply channels into emerging markets including Brazil, Mexico and Chile. Namaste, through its acquisition of Cannmart Inc., a Canadian based late-stage applicant for a medical cannabis distribution license (under the ACMPR Program) is pursuing a new revenue vertical in online retail of medical cannabis in the Canadian market. Namaste intends to leverage its existing database of Canadian medical cannabis consumers, along with its expertise in e-commerce to create an online marketplace for medical cannabis patients, offering a larger variety of product and a better user experience.

#Cryptocurrency Companies See Dramatic Spikes in Share Price #ThreeD $IDK.ca #Blockstation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:39 PM on Tuesday, November 7th, 2017
  • Numerous companies involved in the cryptocurrency industries have seen dramatic increases in share price following the spectacular performances of bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies during 2017
  • Bitcoin Group’s Has Seen Its Share Price Increase by Approximately 1060% Since January This Year

Bitcoin Group was founded in 2014 and began as a mining company, however, expanded its operations after rebranding to Blockchain Global Limited in 2016. In addition to mining, the company now provides consulting and startup incubation services to companies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.

In July, Blockchain Global made a $4.35 million AUD investment into blockchain firm Digital X, including a payment of $300,000 AUD worth of bitcoin. The remaining $4.05 million AUD comprised $550,00 AUD in convertible notes and $3.8 million AUD in shares – seeing Blockchain Global own a 40 percent stake in the company. After the announcement, Digital X’s price moved by 74% at the close of trading. In 2014, DigitalX became Australia’s first listed bitcoin company following the reverse takeover of Macro Energy, however, in 2016, the original founder of Macro Energy was indicted for fraud, resulting in a significant loss in share price at the time.

Many Companies Involved in the Cryptocurrency Industries Have Seen Recent Booms in Share Price

Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd, a Canadian company that mines Ethereum, has seen year to date gains of 4089% as of this writing. At the end of October, Hive announced a “strategic partnership” with Genesis Mining Ltd., through which Hive “will finance the construction of… mining rigs… at [a] data centre in Sweden.” The deal was expected to double “the company’s cryptocurrency mining capacity… in Sweden.” When completed, will see “approximately 78%” of “Hive’s hashpower capacity is expected to be based… in Sweden,” with the remaining 22% being located in Iceland.

In late October, an Essex-based company saw a 394% spike in its share price after announcing that it would change its name from On-line Plc to Blockchain Plc. The jump in price comprised the “biggest one-day gain for the small-cap company since its December 1996 listing,” and was fuelled by “trading volume that… [was] equal to more than 16 times the entire year’s trading before the last two days.” The dramatic rally appeared to be driven by little more than hype associated with the word ‘blockchain’, as the company “caution[ed] investors that the development of its blockchain product is still at an early stage.”

How #Cryptocurrencies And #Blockchain Are Taking #Esports $GMBL To The Next Level #Blockstation #ThreeD $IDK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:40 AM on Tuesday, November 7th, 2017

Revenue from eSports — or competitive video gaming – will grow to $700m in 2017, a 41.3% increase from 2016 , according to Newzoo research. The industry is forecast to reach $1.5 billion by 2020. Major investors, high-profile celebrities, big-brand sponsors and major tech companies are banking on eSports’ profitable trajectory.

DreamTeam

Study shows the Esports market has tremendous untapped potential

Blockchain-powered solutions are the latest trend to shake up transactions and data for the entire sector. To gamers, blockchains and digital currencies are nothing new, and this attitude enables the industry to adopt new technologies faster than other industries like banking or logistics. Part of that has to do with age. According to Newzoo‘s 2017 Global Esports Market Report, electronic gaming entertains a young and marketable demographic: Millennials. More than half of eSports enthusiasts globally are aged between 21 and 35, and they are often early adopters of technology, including blockchain.

 

Blockchain applications across eSports

Startups are leveraging the benefits of blockchain to deploy smart contracts, fuel betting, host tournaments, and ease the purchase virtual assets, all of which help grow the eSports ecosystem. Much has been written about blockchain startups tackling eSports betting and the purchasing or trading of skins (cosmetic items), but another important application is how this technology can help amateur gamers on their pathway to going pro though both tournament and team building platforms.

Tournaments are a way of life for avid eSports gamers and online gaming platforms that have embraced blockchain are seeing the pay-off. FirstBlood, an eSports platform created on the Ethereum blockchain, decentralizes tournament setup and winnings distribution. It allows players to test their skills and to bet on games without being dependent on traditional money transfers, financial regulations and middleman corruption. With FirstBlood, players can game solo or with a team in order to improve their skill through games in a competitive environment. Other blockchain companies including Gilgam.es and EloPlay have entered the tournament space as well.

From amateur gamers to going pro 

While fostering a tournament environment can help players sharpen their skills, we believe there is an opportunity to take this one step further, by lessening the barrier of entry when it comes to building and managing teams.

DreamTeam

Majority of top competitive game titles are team-based

There are 1.4 billion registered gamers, and most of those players are concentrated around the most competitive eSports titles that include LoL, CS:GO, Dota2 and Overwatch.  One of the most loved esports titles, League of Legends, has 250 million players players who want to build, grow and manage their teams, but there are only 100 League of Legends clubs worldwide. Let’s compare that to football, a traditional sport, with more than 300 million players globally, with around 300,000 clubs. This discrepancy of players to clubs was the catalyst for our company, DreamTeam, to develop a dynamic platform to solve this problem.

Building teams to advance 

DreamTeam takes blockchain-powered tournaments one step further by creating a recruitment and management platform for amateur, novice, and pro teams. Blockchain-based smart contracts ensure contractual financial relations for all users without participation of third parties. One function of DreamTeam is to aid the development of small tournaments and secure payments. On the DreamTeam platform, when a team that participates in a tournament gets a winning place, the prize money automatically transfers to their account according to predefined rules (the data is taken from game API’s — application program interface and oracles, or a service that verifies the data independently). All players receive their share of the prize money without issues or delay. This is just one aspect; we envision the platform developing into a multi-billion dollar ecosystem built upon media right sales, sponsorships, players salaries, and prize money.

Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize a wide variety of industries, but with eSports’ audience made up of younger, tech savvy individuals, blockchain is more easily embraced. Every corner of eSports is ripe for rethinking. Aiding amateur gamers through team building and tournaments is only the beginning.

#BP, #Shell $RDS lead plan for #blockchain – based platform for energy trading #ThreeD $IDK.ca #Blockstation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:10 PM on Monday, November 6th, 2017

  • Consortium including energy companies BP and Royal Dutch Shell will develop a blockchain-based digital platform for energy commodities trading
  • Expected to start by end-2018

(Reuters) – A consortium including energy companies BP and Royal Dutch Shell will develop a blockchain-based digital platform for energy commodities trading expected to start by end-2018, the group said on Monday.

Other members of the consortium include Norwegian oil firm Statoil, trading houses Gunvor, Koch Supply & Trading, and Mercuria, and banks ABN Amro, ING and Societe Generale.

Blockchain technology, which first emerged as the architecture underpinning cryptocurrency bitcoin, uses a shared database that updates itself in real-time and can process and settle transactions in minutes using computer algorithms, with no need for third-party verification.

Mercuria has been a vocal advocate of implementing blockchain technology to significantly cut costs in oil trading.

“Ideally, it would help to eliminate any confusion over ownership of a cargo and potentially help to make managing risk more exact if there are accurate timestamps to each part of the trade,” said Edward Bell, commodities analyst at Dubai-based lender Emirates NBD PJSC.

Similar efforts for an energy trading platform have failed to take off, Bell said, but added this latest bid with backing from BP and Shell and the banks, “may have more success than if it were an independent party trying to convince oil and gas companies to make use of it.”

The new venture is seeking regulatory approvals and would be run as an independent entity, the consortium said in a statement.

“The platform aims to reduce administrative operational risks and costs of physical energy trading, and improve the reliability and efficiency of back-end trading operations…,” the statement said.

The Unbelievable #LeagueOfLegends World Championship 2017 Grand Final Stadium Crowd #Worlds2017 $GMBL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:57 PM on Monday, November 6th, 2017

The League of Legends World Championship 2017 was one of the biggest events in esports history.

  • League of Legends owes a significant part of its status as arguably the biggest esport in the world to China
  • Streams reportedly pull in millions of viewers for the biggest matches

While online viewership, production, and of course the games themselves, are always at the heart of what makes a great esports event, Riot’s World Championship has also produced some of the most epic live environments for matches in the industry. This year, the bar may well have been raised once again.

The 2017 League of Legends World Championship took a tour of China, playing its group stages in Wuhan, moving to Guangzhou for quarter-finals, Shanghai for the semi-finals before finally culminating in Beijing for the final showdown between SK Telecom T1 and Samsung Galaxy.

League of Legends owes a significant part of its status as arguably the biggest esport in the world to China, where streams reportedly pull in millions of viewers for the biggest matches. While some dispute the veracity of some of the numbers, which often come from sources that cannot be independently verified, the live crowds at the various stages certainly didn’t disappoint. Nothing quite compared, however, to the masses present for the grand final.

If there were concerns that the lack of a Chinese team in the finals might have impacted interest, there needn’t have been. The Beijing National Stadium was packed out, producing one of the most epic arenas for a showdown yet seen in esports.

The World Championship ultimately concluded with Samsung Galaxy dethroning Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok’s SK Telecom T1, sweeping them 3-0 to deny SKT a third consecutive win at the event.

PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Signs Non-Disclosure Agreement with a Global Engine Manufacturer $HPQ.ca $DDD $SSYS $ PRLB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:56 AM on Monday, November 6th, 2017

Pyr header 1

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(November 6, 2017) – PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that it has signed a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) with a global engine manufacturer.

“We are very happy to be in discussions with a global engine manufacturer and look forward, now that the NDA has been signed, to have more substantive discussions,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “I must caution readers however, not to draw any premature conclusions from this announcement. Though it does signal the interest in our product, and that the interest comes from a very discerning, demanding, and sophisticated party, we are still at the very preliminary stages and there is no guarantee that anything, of any commercial value, will materialize form these efforts.”

PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization – a plasma-based process that produces small, spherical, metal powders for the Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) industry, particularly 3D printing, and for which has become a gold standard.

The Company recently announced the successful completion of the ramp-up of its first (1st) plasma atomization system since announcing, in 2015, that it would become a supplier of powders to the AM industry. During ramp-up, the Company not only received several sample orders, but also developed new Intellectual Property which effectively allowed to produce very narrow particle size distributions, at higher production rates, with little-to-no waste. The Company feels that this breakthrough could be even more game changing than its original Plasma Atomization patent.

Separately, the Company announces today that, further to a subsequent event reviewed in the Q3-2016 Management Discussion and Analysis, wherein it was noted that a director had refused 2,000,000 options at $0.18 per share, the Board of Directors, in accordance with its Stock Option Plan, has approved the grant of up to 2,400,000 incentive stock options (each an “Option”) to this same director, also President and CEO of the Company, to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 Common Shares of the Company, at a price of $0.58 per share. The Options will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years, commencing on the date of the grant. The grant remains subject to regulatory and Exchange approval.
