Featured: Gopher Protocol Inc.
(OTCQB:GOPH) is a development-stage company that is developing
a real-time, heuristic based, mobile technology, per license agreement it holds.
Upon development, the technology will consist of a smart microchip, mobile
application software and supporting software that run on a server. The system
contemplates the creation of a global network, worldwide. Gopher believes this
will be the first system that is developed using a human, heuristic based
analysis engine. Since the core of the system will be its advanced microchip
that will be able to be installed any mobile device, worldwide, Gopher expects
that this will result in an internal, private network between all mobile
