Announcements:
Corporate structure for BB itself. I'd like to clear that up. BB International is a Belize corporation, with head office in Belize. There has never been offices for BB International anywhere else. We did have resellers in other countries, BB-Ireland, BB-Portugal, etc, and we were growing in that respect. Due to the local compliance issues, we terminated the reseller program, and then had the independent contractor program, supported by Stellar Point for support services. The contract with the IC's was with Stellar Point. As of August 2013, BB no longer needed the contract with Stellar Point, so we ended that contract with Stellar Point. Today we have over 30 support tools which support uses and this helps with speeding up the process. So the need to have dozens of support personnal was no longer. Due to BB splitting with Stellar Point in August,
I mentioned in the last few weeks that we would be hitting the communication problem head on. We have tried several things in the past which did not work out well. I made announcement that our social media communications would improve. I know the importantance of this, and I am happy to announce that we have our new personnel starting with BB. They will get the info directly from me to add to social media. So I am happy for this next phase.
Timeline for October - Beta testing for 3.0 will begin. If you fit the criteria, then we will accept applications for that. Beta testers will be logging in, playing with play money and giving us feedback, so we can be sure 3.0 is solid. We have some sister sites coming onboard during October. After 3-4 weeks of beta testing, the live launch will be in November.
Pay runs - the next one will be STP. I don't want to give deadlines. We are working on that now and will be able to have that out shortly. The Payza went out last weekend. Another Payza will be shortly after the STP payouts. We would like to stay on top of the payouts going forward, brining us into the next phase.
Since this is a recording, I cannot see the questions today. So I will turn the all back over to Mark to close.
These are truly exciting times, guys! Have a great weekend.
(Chris then turned the call back over to Mark - I did not transcribe this part, please listen to the recording for that)
