Point Roberts WA, - August 30, 2016 - Investorideas.com, a global news source covering tech stocks issues an updated directory of GPS technology stocks and how the technology is infiltrating day to day life in everything from the Pokémon Go sensation to fitness and smart watches to new levels of personal security and safety. GPS technology was also used at the recent Olympic Games in Rio to let fans track the canoe, sprint and rowing events. 

Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) (OTCMKTS: NTDOY) reached a five year high mid-July based on its "Pokémon Go,” free-to-play, location-based reality game. It took the world and social media by storm and made GPS location technology a phenomenon for every age. It was the number one most-downloaded game on the Apple (AAPL) App Store and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Play store. It may be losing steam in terms of numbers but it has made history and has the world paying attention to what else GPS technology might have to offer.

Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) recently launched its location-based puzzle game.  PUZPIX (http://www.puzpix.com/) is a social media game based on GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology licensed by the Company. The game uses a computerized framework to create a puzzle from images that users upload onto the system's server. The user creates an account and has the option to store images in the designated "FRIENDS" area and/or in the designated ALL (public) area. Only approved friends will be granted access to the images in the FRIENDS area and all players have access to the ALL area. Upon a user's request, the system turns an image into a puzzle of at least nine pieces, though more challenging puzzles can be made once the user achieves a higher level of skill.

The Company (OTCQB:GOPH) is also developing the Guardian Patch (http://www.guardianpatch.com/), a location technology that works with or without GPS. The Patch is a "stick-on" device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track objects, a loved-one or even a pet, through a mobile application.

Last week Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN) announced fēnix Chronos, its premium version of its popular multisport watch, available in three luxurious styles. The company said fēnix Chronos boasts a full multisport and navigational toolset. The omni-directional EXO™ antenna with GPS and GLONASS satellite reception supports better reception in challenging environments than with GPS alone, and the ABC sensors (altimeter, barometer, compass) allow users to keep their bearings while out in the field. Activity profiles include run, bike, lap swim, open water, SUP, row, golf and more.

Garmin, known as a leader and pioneer in GPS technology serves five primary business units, including automotive, aviation, fitness, marine, and outdoor recreation.

#GopherProtocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) #SocialMedia #GPS #Game, #PUZPIX Now at http://www.puzpix.com

Download on both the Apple store and on GooglePlay under the name PUZPIX



San Diego, California, August 23 , 2016 – (Investorideas Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) (“Gopher” and the "Company”), a development-stage Company which specializes in the development of real-time, heuristic-based mobile technologies, and its partners, Guardian Patch LLC (“Guardian”) and Alpha EDA, LLC (“Alpha”), which previously announced on July 27, 2016 that they had completed the design and construction of version I of PUZPIX, a unique social media game based on their GOPHERINSIGHT™ integrated circuit technology, announced today that the PUZPIX website, http://www.puzpix.com/, has been launched and is fully operational.  PUZPIX can be downloaded on both the Apple store and on Google Play under the name “PUZPIX”.

PUZPIX is a social media game based on GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology licensed by the Company. The game uses a computerized framework to create a puzzle from images that users upload onto the system’s server. The user creates an account and has the option to store images in the designated "FRIENDS" area and/or in the designated ALL (public) area. Only approved friends will be granted access to the images in the FRIENDS area and all players have access to the ALL area. Upon a user’s request, the system turns an image into a puzzle of at least nine pieces, though more challenging puzzles can be made once the user achieves a higher level of skill.

As detailed in our recent quarterly report filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PUZPIX represents a joint venture between Gopher and Alpha. The Company, Guardian and Alpha have agreed that all Epsilon EDA and PUZPIX intellectual property rights will be assigned to Alpha (Epsilon EDA was developed in connection with the Company's mobile IC technology for the purpose of reducing power consumption and to provide optimal heat control).  Alpha and the Company agreed to enter into a Joint Venture ("JV") agreement similar to the Guardian Patch JV agreement, pursuant to which Alpha will fund all of its operational and developmental needs (software development, support, marketing and administrative) and the profits of Alpha will be distributed equally to the two equal JV partners.  Alpha will hold all intellectual property rights related to software. Currently, two products will be owned by Alpha, the Epsilon software and the PUZPIX social game.

The Company, through Alpha, has also begun initial development and testing on an advanced version II of PUZPIX, which if developed, would include a GPS base tracking technology. The Company envisions that the inclusion of such a tracking technology in PUZPIX would require users to venture outdoors in order to find and collect puzzle pieces. Upon the Company and its partners launching the GopherInsight™ integrated circuit technology, the Company also hopes to develop a version III of PUZPIX to include domestic/ international exchanges of puzzle pieces that could be shared worldwide.

PUZPIX offers its users entertainment, education, interaction and most off all, fun. The experience is even more enjoyable when two or more players collaborate on the same puzzle.  The system offers high-quality sound effects, tactile feedback and other experiences that make it all the more rewarding.”, said Dr. Rittman, the CTO of the Company.  Being a social media game, but still a derivative of the GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology, PUZPIX represents for us a lab prototype examining system that will manage databases of all types including media, textual, graphical and secured communication information.” Continued DR. Rittman. “In addition to our designated Facebook page for PUZPIX (“PUZPIXAPP”), we have also released a short informational video about the game that can be watched on the following link: https://youtu.be/5zrJH827le4 .“, advised Dr. Rittman.


PUZPIX is protected through a patent in connection with the Company's development of a system, method and software application for mobile database management and sharing over a private, secured network. The patent contemplates that a system will manage databases of all types including media, textual, graphical and secured communication information. The system will work with a proprietary integrated circuit (IC) within mobile devices. Working together with the IC and the mobile software application, it is the intent that the system will share all mobile database types with all other, same mobile ICs that are installed on other mobile devices, worldwide, via its own private, secured, encrypted protocol.

SoundView Research Issues Note on NXT-ID, Inc (NASDAQ: $NXTD); Acquisition Into Position

Tech News: SoundView Research Issues Note on NXT-ID, Inc (NASDAQ: $NXTD); Acquisition Into Position



BOSTON - August 22, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SoundView Technology Group (http://soundview.co) releases the following company note for NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD).

NXT-ID (NXTD $0.45)
Acquisition into position.

Kris Tuttle & Steve Waite: August 22, 2016

In July NXT-ID completed a major acquisition that brings substantial revenues and profits ($11.1M sales and $2.1M EBITDA in 2015) into the company. The deal also takes them from a payments-focused technology provider into a more horizontal IoT technology provider to multiple markets.

NXT-ID announced an agreement to purchase LogicMark on May 18, 2016 and set about to put together the considerable financing needed to complete the deal. They put a package together and on July 26, 2016 completed the deal for consideration of $20M cash and $900K in stock. There are also performance-driven payments of $6.5M if gross margin targets are hit in future periods.

LogicMark has built a good business in personal emergency response systems. These are devices which allow easy 2-way voice communication between parties and/or 911 services. These devices are essential for aged and disabled people living on their own.
The LogicMark business is expected to continue to deliver profitable growth through the next few quarters and likely to accelerate in 2017 thanks to expanded distribution with at least one major retailer.

It's worth pointing out that two key members of the NXT-ID advisory board that might be able to be helpful in expanding this business:

Lawrence Flanagan is currently the president and CEO of AARP Member Services. He was formerly the chief marketing officer of MasterCard Worldwide. He's also formerly from Procter & Gamble.

Bill Fields is the former president and CEO of Walmart retail stores. He was also the CEO of Blockbuster and recognized industry-wide for his expertise in retail and distribution. He also played a decisive role in all the different products that Walmart purchases from around the world.

We'll be redoing our entire model in light of the LogicMark deal. As a starting point we are expecting 2016 revenues of about $13M and $4M of EBITDA. Until we factor in the increased number of shares and debt associated with the deal we don't know exactly how our IV will shake out.

Potential partnerships with the likes of the AARP and/or Walmart offer significant drivers of accelerated growth in 2017 and beyond. One thing we can say for sure is that NXTD stock will be a very different animal in September.

Other Items

There is still a fair amount of structural and administrative work for the NXT-ID management team to complete in the next 30 days or so. By early September much or all of it will be resolved, including a reverse stock split.

The existing business with the WorldVentures card continues to develop and ramp. We expect to see revenues increasing at the end of Q3 and then dramatically in Q4.

After Labor Day we will be publishing our revised IV model and an updated full company report. Soon after that management plans another investor update webinar hosted by NASDAQ. It will be announced but feel free to sign-up for our email updates if you want to be sure not to miss getting our full report and the invite to this webinar. You can sign up via this link.

NXT-ID continues to work on other corporate partnerships in the IoT space. We're looking for something more along the lines of channel expansion and improved visibility in general-purpose IoT. Such things can never be forecast with certainty but we wouldn't be shocked to see one before the end of this year.
