BRN Discussion Ongoing

[miaeffect]

I think the drop is the market pricing in no revenue for the next few quarters so hopefully there are no major downward spikes when the 4Cs and half yearly reports are released.

Fingers crossed as I’ll have a spare $10k soon

Did you ever think you would be able to buy nearly 30,000 shares for $10k again!

Nuts!

If you squint both eyes & put your left middle finger into your right ear I’m sure you can see Akida

The bottom chip is blacked out. Zoom in and look at the colour difference and very edge is silver

Unless Sony have signed a deal without us being informed, I don't see how that could be Akida.
See Screenshot below, they would have to own the IP in order to obscure it.
You can also see a Sony branded silicon chip off to the left, which they would more likely print on if they owned the IP.

Finally I can't be sure but there's something oddly "rendered" about that part of the image.
The connectors look legitimate but that chip doesn't.
Could just be the pixilation.

Definitely odd that it has been blacked out in the edge impulse thing though!

Agreed, but not as odd as the fact that Akida is the only one-shot image detection method and it isnt being fucking used by anyone? Seriously whhhhhhhhyyyyy.

It just doesn’t add up to me?! Autonomous vehicles, entertainment, security, production, smart home - theres a million potential good uscases. It’s literally the gateway to a new consumer market and there’s no takers??? Someone please tell me what I’m missing?

But someone on here will say it's a good time to top up, everything is a secret, in the past year no I.P sign ups under Sean Heir but everything is a secret or where just got nothing , I'm just asking

I dont know

I also dont know where the bottom might be.

What is the lowest the market cap is going to go?

I do wonder how much delay is down to good old commercial negotiations.
Who has this responsibility at BrainChip, is it Sean, or the mysteriously silent Chris Stevens.

One thing I clearly understand after 40 years in business, it doesn’t matter how good the product is, if the price isn’t right it will not sell.

Selling IP is extra tough, and the first commercial contracts will set the benchmark for the business, and ultimately the margin and market cap. One could argue that an lengthy contract negotiation of 18 months is worth it to get the price right. No doubt if we were a charity and gave the IP away for free it would be appearing in a variety of worthless products now. We need the IP in the right products, owned by the right companies, at the right price … to become the benchmark we desire.

We’re clearly working with Socionext and our ip is most likely included in their 60hz in cabin radar sensor but we get no public acknowledgment from Socionext? I don’t quite get it either, are they taking first mover advantage to the extreme?

 

[TheFunkMachine]

That sounds very much like Akida to me

With our previous engagement with MB and the public praise they have given us about being 5-10 x more power efficient I would be disappointed if it’s not us…

Sony could quite easily be using Akida IP via Megachips.

Isn’t benifical for us to cut out the middle man, or has megachips managed to get one over on BRN and are reaping the awards more than we are? Or maybe they have a much better sakes team than we do? Which can’t be hard as we’ve sold fuk all recently

That is a possibility. On the other hand

Sony could quite easily be using Akida IP via Megachips.

That means we should be looking at royalty income column as early as next 4c?
