I expect in this case we really do need to watch the financials and as full payment for the sale of this item was required when ordering so we should roughly know the answer in about 3 weeks. I have my own expectation that 500 units were sold at the starting price of USD$799 which equates to approximately AUD$600,000.
Not sure about everyone else but I think that will be a reasonable quarterly income (for now) if I am correct

That's a bit odd..
Has anyone asked Tony, why it's not listed on VVDN's website?
The only thing that really comes to mind, is that this is more of a test run, to gauge demand.
We know, there are only a limited number of AKD1000 chips and there are 2 per Edge Box.
Someone shared, that Tony said in an email, that it was hoped that VVDN would place an order for chips, if we ran out.
Showing "sold out" on our website, suggests all current chips are accounted for (which is possibly in the low thousands).
Or else there is some kind of delay or problem, which they want to address first, before allowing further orders to be placed.

VVDN list NVIDIA boxes and they may not want to list AKIDA boxes as competition for the cloud based NVIDIA boxes at this stage?
You can only order them via BRN and there is no advertising. Maybe BRN sales people are out there flogging them.
I do not think its a big deal anyway. BRN probably just wanted to test run it.

I could be wrong (& probs am) but my impression is VVDN is primarily a manufacturing partner and we engaged them to build the edge box with our specs for our onsell.
It may be that the partnership agreement with NVIDIA and the one with AMD Xilinx has other conditions attached ($) including the ability for VVDN to onsell?

I was told By Mangement when the edge box was announced that they were approached by VVDN to build these they actually did not even know they exist so then BRN went ahead with the partnership. It was at the same time they did state that there is interest in Akida 1000 for various applications what goes commercial who know.
VVDN not advertising make me believe they do not want to compete on Web site with Nvidia.
There is a lot of cloudy relationships happening hard to gauge who is calling the shots on these products but let's hope we get some clarity in the near future.
Evening Chippers,
Perspective.
According to the last Annual Report , our intrepid leader took home around $2,580,801 usd ( page 21 of last annual report, 2023. ).....I would presume this is after dumping free stock.... so the equivalent of tax free, at shareholders expense.
Employed ... 29th Nov 2021.
Time to deliver....to shareholders that is.
This is what a little cash looks like .
Thankyou fellow shareholders , those which have paid to play , waiting... but being patient.
Regards,
Esq.

Thanks.
VVDN still present themselves primarily as a manufacturer hence the approach to BRN to offer their expertise to get an Akida product out then maybe?
Clarity definitely required at some point though as you say cause we are presuming about not going head to head on a website and that becomes a very grey area "if" competition is stiffled for certain reasons behind closed doors.
Regulators generally frown on those sorts of actions so I would hazard guess it's for some other reason outside non competition.
NVIDIA and AMD may or may not have exclusivity clauses in VVDN agreements for example.

Good evening Fullmoonfever ,
Very much so , and for the record , voted as such at the last AGM.
If only we could all extract a seven figure salary , with all the percs ....... oh its behind a NDA ,...this wore off some time ago for myself.
Time to start delivering , or alternately take a substantial pay cut, goes for the entire board, until thay actually deliver something of substantial substance to the COMPANY'S BOOKS, ie $.
Purely my thoughts obviously .
Regards,
Esq.

A bit random, but does anyone here have LinkedIn premium and/or can potentially work out who BRNs recent followers are?
Could potentially be telling…
I have noticed the number climbing up very consistently over the last 6months to a year.

Neuromorphic engineering and urban farming advance concurrently
- By Adam Campbell
- Last updated July 2, 2024
Neuromorphic engineering is steadily advancing, modeling itself after the intricacies of the human brain.5
BrainChip Holdings, an Australian company, specializes in this unique field with their standout product, Akida. This revolutionary System-on-Chip (SoC) mirrors the human brain’s processing mechanism.
Notably, Akida reduces power consumption, making it ideal for devices reliant on extended battery life. It also boasts adaptability, easily syncing with a range of machinery from self-driving vehicles to IoT devices. All the signs point to Akida reshaping how AI systems calculate and interact with the world, ultimately pushing cognitive computing forward.
Bioprinting, while a specialized technology in the healthcare domain, harnesses 3D printing to layer biological materials, creating products with a far-reaching potential to shift paradigms in medical treatment, drug development, and food production. With an estimated market value of $1.8 billion by 2027, the bioprinting field is only expanding. This growth boils down to a combination of an escalating need for organ transplants, advancements in 3D printing technology and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases.
In the bioprinting market, Organovo has proven itself noteworthy, developing 3D human tissues that simulate the structure and function of organic tissues.
Neuromorphic engineering and urban farming’s concurrent progress
This ground-breaking work suggests a future rich with possibilities in bioprinting.In contrast, Urban Farming Technology focuses on the practical application of urban spaces for farming. This innovative field changes the game for food production and consumption. By offering city residents easy access to home-grown vegetables, Urban Farming Technology can tackle the challenge of decreasing farmland while promoting sustainability.
Urban farming techniques such as Vertical and Hydroponic farming can yield a hundredfold increase in produce compared to conventional farming. Not only is the food organic and nutrient-dense, but the methodology also contributes to a healthier lifestyle, reduces waste, and promotes community involvement and local economies. It’s clear that Urban Farming Technology is not just a farming fad; it’s leading us toward a healthier and greener lifestyle.
Despite the lack of recognition, these sectors carry immense potential and live on the brink of ground-breaking innovation and disruption. These promising sectors are providing a rich playground for daring startups ready to tap into their potential.

Power consumption can vary obviously depending on end use requirements.

Damn it esq, don't say things like that around here. You will get reported and deported back to Hot Crapper.
You've suspiciously written something that an MF article would say. Are you a down ramper by any chance? Well if so then you are not doing a great job at it.
Keep the vibes positive please.
Sean is our golden boy and he deserves all the monies and then some. We hired him because he has very high connections in silicon valley and we are so very close to signing multi billion dollar NDAs with with Nanose and Nintendo. There is no further need to justify why our tech will be in every household items in the world. Just like FF, I am off to spread the good news somewhere else.
Weeeeeeeeee......!!!!!!
As always,
Not advice. DYOR
