Drop in and go using existing infrastructure. That was the drumbeat we heard many moons ago. But every step of the way they have to seemingly build a new facility, bring in and/or modify equipment, add a lab, add testing, get a license, open an office, and bring in outside experts. I think you are right that he always does make it sound like they have more than they do, but as the chief proponent of the company, isn’t it his job to sell everyone including us? He’s kept a lot of us onboard when at times probably a majority of us were thinking wth am I doing? lol The guy is good. I still believe in the vision. He’s only got one more hurdle to cross and that is silk production. We already know there are buyers lined up for the silk. There is just not enough silk to sell . . . yet. Hopefully they can take advantage of the network of local farmers to make the silk they need. At some point, you gotta think metric tonnage will happen in 2025 as Dr. Kumar said it will. There’s a reason he is in Vietnam to work on this. He sees more than the silk’s unique luster.

In response to:

Another one of those tricky a** phrases he comes up with to make you think they have more than what they actually do have. I don't see where they have the facilities to actually grow out that many silkworms while also producing breeding stock and eggs.

DiamondHealer95,

Some moths ago you wanted us at KBLB Ihub , to pay attention to Feb 2025 as what you said could be the turning point for the better (news and pps wise)
.
I respected that , i always like to hear posters sharing there idea , info. and wishes.
I thinks that till the end of Feb.2025 ( tarding days that is ) there are 8 days , currect me if i am mistaken..
.
I am not hoolding to to you prodicution as you also pointed out that you date target could be a few wekks later than that....
You see? giving date , pps target is not a science imo... there are to much info. that we do not won and that is why i tend not raise pps target or timelines...

P.S i know Feb.2025 is not over yet...KT Please "show us the money "....lol...and good luck to us longs
I hope we all can see some good news via KBLB this year, cause i can not remember news that made the pps rise with huge volumes if i go back 12 months back in time .

"its a 25 ton facility"
I don't think that is what KT said.  He said the facility will support up to 25 tons of production, which to me means they will be able to produce enough eggs from the facility to produce 25 tons of cocoons elsewhere.  Another one of those tricky ass phrases he comes up with to make you think they have more than what they actually do have.  I don't see where they have the facilities to actually grow out that many silkworms while also producing breeding stock and eggs.

Respectfully, I get what you're saying but there is a very specific standard to uplist and the alternatives are clearly listed in the post. I had the "conversation" with the "bot" and was very specific with my prompts, yes, I have a reasonable amount of training in using AI prompts. I'm confident that although you bring up some good points, at the end of the day what the bot said absolutely is...are the routes kblb can go. They cannot take a shortcut and they have to be worth at least $2 per share.

That's NOT happening any time soon IMO

Neither is a buyout. With a r/s this stock is worth up to $150 a share. Forward split that to the way it is now and that's $5 per share and that would likely be the buyout price. A MAX OFFER.

This stock is worth way more than $5 a share.

Hey! I'd love to be incorrect about this but I just can't seem to find the post you made that points out the positives and negatives for each of the last 5 PR.

Also, I graded your paper: D-

1. "No shit sherlock!"
"Sherlock" should be capitalized: "No shit, Sherlock!"
A comma is needed after "No shit" for proper punctuation.

2. "The thing that just happened with that exercise is you have proven to me that I'm just as smart as the average robot and much smarter than the supposedly above average 5th grade teacher."

"The thing that just happened with that exercise" is wordy and could be more concise.

"Is you have proven" is awkward; "is that you have proven" would be grammatically correct.

"Above average" should be hyphenated: "above-average".

"5th grade teacher" should be "fifth-grade teacher" (numbers should generally be spelled out in formal writing, and "fifth-grade" should be hyphenated).


Corrected version:
"What just happened with that exercise is that you have proven to me that I'm just as smart as the average robot and much smarter than the supposedly above-average fifth-grade teacher."


3. "Why because I had out thought that little exercise long ago."

"Why" and "because" should not be together in this context. It should be rewritten as either:

"Why? Because I had outthought that little exercise long ago."

"I had outthought that little exercise long ago."


"Out thought" should be "outthought" (one word).



4. "While I had already thought those things I don't need some dumb ass to tell me what I should think."

A comma is needed after "things" for readability: "While I had already thought those things, I don't need..."

"Dumb ass" should be "dumbass" (typically one word).



5. "Good job"

Needs a period: "Good job."

***KBLB ADMITS (AGAIN) THAT THEY HAVE NOT DEMONSTRATED "COMMERCIAL VIABILITY"***

These are KBLB's own words from the most recent S1 posted the other day (from 7 Feb 2025):

"Our business is based on scientific research which has not demonstrated commercial viability and makes our business highly risky.

We are engaging in research and development of new recombinant silk fibers. Due to the speculative nature of this scientific research, our chances of success are uncertain and we cannot guarantee that we will succeed in developing new fibers that deliver performance results to meet customer requirements or obtain commercial acceptance. An investment in us, therefore, is highly speculative and risky."

KBLB already has customers that have received and tested samples. The only thing KBLB needs is for that “up to 25 metric tons annually” facility to actually start actually cranking out metric tons of silk.

The bot is limited by the data that can be inputted. Unfortunately it appears to be missing customer information in its calculation like Polartec, Warwick Mills, SMI, Kings Group / M The Movement, and the unknown medical supplier as well as those “known brands” we’ve been told exist.

There will be no uplist without production and revenue. Nothing else matters. The bot seems to have posted what any company would need overall as opposed to what KBLB itself specifically needs for a successful uplist. The only way I could see an uplist happening before actual production and revenue would be if you had a multinational conglomerate cut a deal with KBLB whereby the conglomerate takes part ownership in KBLB and agrees to 100% fund as many production facilities as KBLB needs and wants going forward. Other than that, we need to wait for this one “up to 25-metric tons annually” facility to crank out some metric tons of silk.

They can sell what they can’t make. But they can’t yet make silk to actually sell. Until that changes, everybody including the bot need to hit the “pause” button on the uplist talk. But once they have actually made and sold their first ton …. we can all shout uplist from the rooftops. Until then, the giant still sleeps until the metric tonnage is released.

Two months away from that Dec. video proclaiming multi-tonnage is coming in 2025 and we haven’t even gotten an update on production outside of the new license. I’m hoping they’ve been producing right along and that there was no pause.

Proof that KBLB can sell silk:

Polartec And Kraig Biocraft Laboratories To Bring First Spider Silk Fabrics To The Performance Apparel Market

(Andover, Mass.) - April 17, 2019 - Polartec, the premium provider of innovative and sustainable textile solutions, and Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (Kraig) (OTC:KBLB), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announce plans to bring to market the first fabrics made from spider silk. Initially developed for specialized military applications, these first-of-their-kind materials made from recombinant spider silk will eventually service the global market for high performance textiles and apparel.

Among the strongest fibers produced in nature, scalable and cost-effective production of spider silk represents a ‘holy grail’ of material science. Kraig possesses the exclusive right to use patented spider silk gene sequences in silkworms, which is the first way to mass produce these fibers cost effectively and responsibly. (Spiders cannot be raised in colonies and competitors rely on genetically engineered E.coli bacteria to make silk, which produces high levels of carbon dioxide in addition to being cost prohibitive.)

“Teaming with an industry leader such as Polartec is a real endorsement of our proprietary approach to unlocking the potential of commercially-produced spider silk,” says Kim Thompson, Kraig Laboratories founder and CEO. “Kraig believes that spider silk, with its superior mechanical characteristics, has the potential to surpass the current generation of high performance fibers.”

These fully renewable, biodegradable and biocompatible ‘super fibers’ are thin, lightweight, flexible, resilient, extraordinarily strong, and display strength-to-weight ratios more comparable to aramid fibers than other current performance fibers. In apparel applications, the possibilities of recombinant spider silks are particularly exciting, realizing unprecedented combinations of physical properties such as luxurious feel and breathable comfort with top durability.

In joint development since 2016, Polartec and Kraig are applying the performance characteristics of spider silk into yarns for military-grade textiles.

“This project combines two of our most important innovation missions: providing best-in-class textiles to our Nation’s military personnel, and our investment in a fully biodegradable product line,” says Gary Smith, Polartec CEO. “Our partnership with Kraig has the potential to be as revolutionary as when we created the first performance fabrics made from post-consumer recycled plastics in 1993.”

Polartec recently announced its Polartec Eco-Engineering™ commitment to using 100 percent biodegradable and recycled materials across its entire product line through another partnership with Unifi and CiCLO. For example, this new standard for sustainable textiles will include the creation of the world’s first fully recycled and biodegradable fleece, other knits, insulation fills and breathable waterproof fabrics.

About Polartec

Polartec is the premium provider of innovative and sustainable textile solutions. Since inventing modern technical fleece in 1981, the engineers at Polartec continue to advance the science of fabric, creating fabric technologies that solve problems and improve the way products are designed and used. Polartec products range from lightweight wicking and cooling fabrics, to insulation and weather protection textiles, and are utilized by leading consumer brands, the U.S. Military and other global militaries, flame resistance, workwear, and contract upholstery markets.

I spent some time on ai, scanning for red flags all of the press releases from Dec. 23rd on.

Here are the results:

12/23 Conclusion:
The press release does successfully highlight some real achievements in production and scientific progress, but it lacks specifics and actionable details that would make investors more confident in the company’s near-term future. Specifically, the absence of tangible contracts, sales agreements, or clear revenue implications makes it difficult to fully gauge whether KBLB is truly ready for commercial scale or still struggling with early-stage operations.
The optimistic tone and lack of transparency about the company’s financials or actual commercial commitments raise potential red flags, suggesting that KBLB might be trying to keep up investor interest without delivering hard facts.

What KBLB Needs:
More Specific Production Numbers: For instance, how many units were sold, and how much revenue was generated?
Signed Contracts or Partnership Announcements: Clear business relationships would solidify the claim of entering new markets.
Timeline for Commercialization: Specific timelines (e.g., “We expect to ship our first commercial batch of product X by Q2 2025”) would give investors more confidence.

1/7 Conclusion:
The press release includes positive technical advancements in the form of a new transgenic spider silk material inspired by Darwin’s bark spider. However, it still has key weaknesses when it comes to commercial validation and scalability.

Areas Needing Improvement:

Clear Partnerships or Commercial Deals: The lack of any real customer or partner mentions makes it difficult to gauge how these new breakthroughs will translate into actual sales.

Production Scaling Details: The company needs to offer more clarity about how it plans to scale production to meet demand and whether it has the facilities to produce at the “metric ton” level.

Financial Transparency: Investors need to see financials or projections linked to these breakthroughs. Without it, the press release may only attract short-term speculative interest.

1/21 Conclusion:
The $10 million SEPA provides Kraig Biocraft Laboratories with the necessary capital to expand production and move toward commercialization of its spider silk fibers. While the partnership with Yorkville offers flexibility, there are some concerns regarding dilution and reliance on external funding. Investors should carefully consider:

Areas to Watch:

1. Share Dilution: The SEPA could lead to dilution, so keep an eye on stock price and the issuance of new shares.


2. Revenue Growth: The company’s ability to generate significant revenue from its expanded production in the coming year will be key to assessing its long-term sustainability.


3. Commercial Partnerships: Monitoring the development of new products and strategic partnerships will provide insight into how well KBLB is transitioning from R&D to marketable goods.

1/23 Conclusion:

Kraig Labs securing an investment license in Vietnam positions the company for significant expansion of its spider silk production capabilities. However, several key risks remain:

Areas to Watch:

1. Demand Realization: The company must prove that the growing requests for materials translate into real commercial contracts and revenue generation.


2. Execution of Expansion: Watch for updates on how well Kraig Labs executes the development of rearing facilities and scaling production in Vietnam. Delays or challenges could affect growth.


3. International Operations Risks: Keep an eye on potential risks related to international production and trade issues in Vietnam.

2/10 Conclusion:

While Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ development of a caddisfly-based transgenic fiber holds immense potential, it is still in the early stages, and there are several risks associated with its scalability, market entry, and competition. These risks need to be closely monitored, particularly around production challenges, market validation, and the execution of strategic partnerships. If the company can overcome these hurdles, the new technology could provide a significant advantage in the bioengineering materials space, but the road ahead may be fraught with challenges. The release of this PR after the others is likely part of a larger strategy to maximize investor confidence, media coverage, and competitive positioning. By tying the scientific achievement to financial and operational advancements, Kraig Labs is presenting itself as a company with not only strong innovation but also the financial and infrastructural support to make those innovations a commercial reality. This release serves to showcase the company’s ongoing growth, attracting more interest from both investors and potential business partners.

For KBLB to uplist in 2025, at least two or three of these catalysts must happen. The most critical ones are:

1. Securing a major contract or partnership


2. Improving financials with funding or debt reduction


3. Increasing share price through organic growth or a reverse split

A list of similar companies that have successfully uplisted to the NASDAQ has been posted on the $KBLB Facebook page. It includes insightful learning opportunities for KBLB to achieve success.

That caddisfly news was big from a science standpoint and maybe a longer-term customer play. But in the short-term it doesn’t mean much unless someone thinks it’s more important than actually making silk. I mean, how valuable of an invention is it? It’s all about production, because without production, there are no sales, and without sales there is no revenue which is the oxygen any company needs to grow.

Unless there was an unforeseen delay, there should be a whole lot of news ready to hit in rapid succession very soon. I expected it sooner than now. But, as we've seen, there was a new license we needed so who knows what other hurdles came up.

im thinking the ERC allowed for setting up production facilities, small production for testing purposes and a larger one to test the viability of commercial production...but no real "business" could be conducted without the IRC...and that was granted last month...

Once again, the truth is simple:

KBLB is scaling up production with proprietary hybrid silkworms. The company itself will determine real-world yields—not Dimes, or any others' "scientific" nonsense that conveniently always skews negative.

The only "conservative estimate" we should believe? That Dimes will be copy-pasting another round of the same FUD next week.

Reference this post for a constant reminder of why it's foolish (I'd say deliberate) to use regular silk numbers:

Dodge the actual point. Expected. You copy-paste the same tired “concerns” about production every cycle, get called out for it, and instead of addressing the substance, you deflect with a weak personal jab. Classic Dimes maneuver (aka The Dimes Way).

"I don't think" means I'm not stating a fact? That's exactly what i pointed out. Lol. But let's look at how now you’re playing the plausible deniability game. But when your spinning FUD, suddenly your words are meant to be taken as absolute truth? Pick a lane. SMH

And, if I need "remedial language lessons," what does that say about the guy whose entire troll career consists of ambiguous, hedge-heavy statements like "I think," "It seems like," and "Possibly"? If anyone’s struggling with clarity, it’s the dude whose entire shtick is strategic vagueness.

Given the 'around 9,000 tonnes' and 'nearly 1,200 tonnes' , a value of 10% may be slightly too small, but not far off the mark.  Those values certainly contradict the 20% value I and others used.

The issue we were concerned with was how to estimate the yield of reeled silk from a given weight of cocoons.  I found estimates of the shell ratio, which can be 20% of the weight of the cocoon, and used that shell ratio to determine yield.  But the shell consists of extra sericin, which is boiled away as the cocoon is processed.  That sericin weighs about 40% of the cocoon shell.  Additionally, there appears to be some loss during the reeling.

Those facts, along with the more specific information provided in the report WebSlinger posted, leads me to believe that 10% is the correct value to use.  It may be a little conservative, but values in the 20% range are likely far too liberal.

If we talk about Kim, he's working on a shoestring budget and approaching EVERYTHING like a lawyer which is frustrating for the stockholders but it's how they operate.

Being offended by you would mean someone actually cares about what you think. People that cannot debate, attack. Your actual narcissism only hurts yourself and it only amplifies your insecurities and inadequacies. I can hear Mr. T (not Kim) now.

If you want to present yourself as someone that actually has something to say, I would suggest staying away from changing a discussion to pathetic insults. It does not help your position. It definitely does not help your credibility. You do not get respect without giving respect. It is earned, not demanded. If you attack, expect an attack back. I would suggest you don't attack. You aren't very good at it. It's good advice, you should take it.

Also, constantly claiming you are "correct," does not help your cause. It's like the guy that walks around talking about how tough he is. Hint: those guys aren't tough. Learn to add to the conversation. You are worried about "winning" an argument instead of learning from or adding to a discussion.

You are aware you’re dealing with the great Kimberly Thompson… he has proven to me in the last 15 years he does not give a rats ass about you or any shareholder… you are nothing more than a tool to him. Just give up the thought that you’re gonna make any money by the end of this year…. This will be a nine penny stock 10 months from now… if you knew Thompson like many that’s been here 15 years you would’ve never made that prediction

So it's 2/14 and I had something important happening by 2/19.

So far February brought us waterproof silk and 2 sec filings. The recent SEC filing suggests stocks being offered to the public but also strongly points to dilution which makes sense if KBLB is going to uplist (they need to reach $3 I believe). That's ~ 1:30 reverse split as of today. That destroys my dreams.

I still have my hopes up for big news but a reverse split threat has dampened that.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Kraig Labs develops ‘underwater’ silk inspired by caddisfly

Desk Report

Last Updated: February 13, 2025

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. , a leader in advanced silk fiber technologies, has introduced a groundbreaking development—engineered silk inspired by the caddisfly. This breakthrough represents a significant advancement in fiber technology, offering new possibilities for high-performance materials across various industries.

Caddisflies, often referred to as “Periwinkles” in the Pacific Northwest, are known for their ability to spin silk underwater, which they use to create protective casings in aquatic environments. By leveraging the distinctive mechanical and chemical attributes of caddisfly silk proteins, Kraig Labs has developed a novel silk material designed for enhanced durability in wet conditions. This innovation has the potential to support applications in medical adhesives, biomedical textiles, performance apparel, and next-generation fiber technologies.

Kim Thompson, CEO and Founder of Kraig Labs, emphasized the significance of this development. “Expanding beyond spider silk proteins allows us to explore a wider range of possibilities in silk engineering,” he stated. “By drawing from nature’s diversity, we are creating innovative fibers that align with the evolving needs of modern industries.”

The introduction of caddisfly-based transgenic fiber represents a key milestone in Kraig Labs’ mission to develop superior materials by combining the unique properties of various silk proteins. Utilizing its proprietary silkworm-based production system, the company aims to bring these high-performance fibers to market efficiently and sustainably.

“Incorporating the remarkable adhesive properties of caddisfly silk protein has been a foundational goal in our research and development strategy,” Thompson added. “This achievement is not only a significant step forward for our business but also a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team.”

Jon Rice, COO of Kraig Labs, acknowledged the contributions of the company’s scientific team. “Our success in developing this caddisfly-inspired material reflects the power of combining innovative research with a clear vision,” he noted. “We are excited about the potential applications of this fiber and the opportunities it presents across multiple industries.”

Kraig Labs has filed a provisional utility patent for this pioneering technology as part of its commitment to leading advancements in silk protein engineering.

No you have it the wrong way around.
I'll start with the full process.
When kbl stated they needed a rep office.
They then needed the irc and erc.
They are both issued the same day.
And of course when Kim announced the irc he made sure to put up an imaginary barrier that they still needed to wait for a erc.
I posted the erc on here with company seal that day.
Kim then pr'd the erc a week later for a fluff pr.

When the focus shifted to lam dong they had to set up a representative office of prodigy textiles which was issued March 2022.
A rep office is not allowed for production.
The next step they obtained a branch erc july 2022 that allowed kbl production in lam dong.
Any decisions of trials and restrictions would be made at the ministry level.
And you need a erc before you start a trial not after.Just like the first time.
Another erc was not needed for lam dong as they already have one before the trials started.
They didn't need a new subsidiary to keep production going in lam dong.
I believe the creation of prodigy silk was for different reasons.
I'll expand on this if more clues are presented,but I'm pretty sure there is more to it from what I have seen.

Last March (2024), KBLB was talking about getting an investment license for a new subsidiary called Prodigy Silk, but we never heard about it again.

"KBLB .... is preparing a second business investment application in Vietnam as part of the planned expansion of its business operations. The Company expects to submit this second investment license application this month."

"The Investment License application is part of the creation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Kraig Labs, to be named Prodigy Silk. "
