#Tech News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Releases a New Version of its Revolutionary Avant! AI

New Release Includes User Authentication, History Saving & New Sentence Embedding Method

Investorideas Featured Company: Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTC:GOPH)


San Diego, CA - December 18, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher"), a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, including a global mesh network technology platform for both mobile and fixed solutions, announced today it released Avant! AI new version according to schedule. The new release includes user authentication, history saving and a new sentence embedding method which is a derivative of the InferSent method.
The InferSent method is a sentence embedding technique that provides semantic sentence representations. It is trained on natural language inference (NLI) data, which means asking questions in natural language. Modern NLP (Natural Language Processing) systems rely on word embedding as base feature to capture relationships among multiple words and phrases in a single vector.
Gopher's Avant! AI's new sentence embedding system encapsulates advanced, proprietary methods in order to extract text and "understand" its meaning. The new system includes general-purpose sentence embedding and captures generic information that is useful for a broad set of question types. Using this system, Avant! will be able to "understand" the meaning of general sentences (Questions) in natural language, faster and with higher accuracy. Equipped with this new semantic sentence encoder, Avant! will be able to search for related texts, perform faster identification of text chunks and about its meanings in order to provide the user faster and more accurate answers. Avant! will be able to check for sentences similarities under supervised training and skip through parts that are irrelevant. The end result is a robust NLI (Natural Language Interface) for question presentations and accurate/effective answers in virtually real-time.
In addition, the new release includes upgrades due to overwhelming public interest. Last week Avant!'s servers crashed due to unexpected large number of users that asked questions at the same time. In order to accommodate the demand, Gopher has upgraded Avant! to handle vast numbers of simultaneous users. The new release also includes a personal sign-up and authentication mechanism to enable individual logins and keep information private. In addition, the new version keeps the user's previous Q/A history for the user's benefits.
"We have exciting news regarding our Avant! AI's new version that includes new updates. The major one is a user sign-up and authentication feature to enable a user to keep their question history for future use. All with strong privacy and security. In the new version, Avant! will be able to "understand" sentences better and faster (Questions), identify topics in related resources (the internet and external documentation), and find/assemble the best, most relevant answer. These new features can be compared to a higher level of language education. In simple terms, for users this means the best answers with the highest accuracy for their questions!" stated Danny Rittman, Gopher CTO.

Market Turns Green Overnight, WISE Creates Smart Contract with Gopher Tech, Japan, Hong Kong and Switzerland Regulation

Stocks discussed: (OTCQB:GOPH)

After grazing the $100 billion USD mark over the weekend, the crypto market has made a quick recovery this morning back to a total market cap of $110 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. Most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are seeing green, with Bitcoin (BTC) registering growth of almost 6 percent since yesterday and XRP, Ether (ETH) and EOS following with 6.3, 6 and 23 percent, respectively.
AI and IoT developer Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) has had its technology successfully deployed by its licensee WISE Network S.A("WISE"), which has created its smart contract on the Ethereum Blockchain, based on the ERC20 standard. Gopher's Interim CEO, Doug Davis, said:
"We are proud to see implementation of our technology platform into the Blockchain space in partnership with WISE. While Gopher is not a cryptocurrency or Blockchain company, it is a leading supplier of Asset Tracking IoT and Global Mesh Network technology platforms that licensees such as WISE can use to enhance their Blockchain-based offerings."
Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has published a new draft of its regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. As expected, the document details the FSA's commitment to combating the threat of money laundering and the financing of terrorism as well as outlining the status of ICOs and crypto exchanges.
Over in Hong Kong, the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SFC) is looking to further regulate the crypto space in response to concerns of money laundering and terrorism financing, according to a report from CCN. Though preventing crime would be a positive result of more regulation, CCN quotes Daiwa Institute of Research professional Daisuke Yasaku on the inability of some firms to cope as a possible downside:
"The cost of regulations will be high. The requirements of the SFC initiative may prove too burdensome for some operators."
A different attitude towards regulation is on display in Switzerland, where authorities want to integrate the new space into the existing financial framework, according to a piece from CoinDesk. The piece quotes the "highest executive authority of the Swiss Confederation" that:
"Since an entry in a decentralised register accessible to interested parties can create publicity similar to the ownership of a security, it seems justified to attach similar legal effects to this entry."

Investorideas.com Newswire - Gopher's (OTCQB: $GOPH) Avant! AI Answers User Questions About Stock Market, #Bitcoin, #Cannabis, Apple's ( $AAPL) Siri and More



Gopher's (OTCQB: $GOPH) Avant! AI Answers User Questions About Stock Market, #Bitcoin, #Cannabis, Apple's ( $AAPL) Siri and More

Stocks discussed: (OTCQB: $GOPH) (NasdaqGS: $FB) (NasdaqGS: $INTC) (NYSE:$IBM) (NasdaqGS: $QCOM) (NasdaqGS: $NVDA) (NasdaqGS: $AAPL)


Point Roberts, WA and Vancouver, BC - December 17, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com), a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) , brings you today's special edition of The AI Eye - Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence.
Gopher Protocol Inc's (OTCQB:GOPH) Avant! AI system debuted as an assistant agent on Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) one week ago, and it has already garnered considerable attention. Company CTO Dr. Danny Rittman explained how his AI creation, Avant! actually crashed briefly after experiencing half a million users in traffic.
Listen to today's podcast:

Gopher's (OTCQB: $GOPH) Avant! AI Answers User Questions About Stock Market, #Bitcoin, #Cannabis , Apple's ( $AAPL) Siri and More

Dr. Rittman, the creator of Avant!, is a semiconductor designer with over twenty years of experience with companies such as Intel (NasdaqGS:INTC), DEC, IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Qualcomm (NasdaqGS: QCOM). He has worked on many prestigious Integrated Circuits projects; among them Intel's Pentium Pro, DEC's Alpha chip, and others. Danny was the founder and CTO of BindKey Technologies, an EDA corporation that was acquired by DuPont Photo masks.
Danny , speaking like a proud parent of his child said, ""Last week we had a peak of about 500K users, asking questions at the same time. Avant! servers were not ready for it and crashed, leading rain of emails of concerned users, about when Avant! will be back," he said. "When we had a peak of many users at the same time, users started to wait long times for answers and then they reported to us. Soon after that the servers simply crashed due to the overwhelming interest!"
"We see this as a very positive "crash". Avant! is a star!"
He continued, "Since then we upgraded our servers and probably will upgrade them soon again."
What follows are some examples of user questions, and Avant!'s answers to them:
Q: What is the stock market?
Avant!: A stock market, equity market or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks, which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange, as well as stock that is only traded privately.
Q: What is cannabis?
Avant!: Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol, one of 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids.
Part(s) of plant: Flower
Source plant(s): Cannabis sativa, Cannabis sativa forma indica, Cannabis ruderalis
Geographic origin: Central Asia and Indian subcontinent
People also search for: Cocaine, Hashish, Tetrahydrocannabinol, More
Q: Who is Siri?
Avant!: On Friday, CNN revealed that voice actor Susan Bennett is the voice behind Siri, Apple's personal assistant on iPhones and iPads. "I'm the actor who provided the voice for Siri," she told CNN. Bennett said she didn't know she voiced Siri until Apple integrated it into the iPhone in 2011.
Q: What is Bitcoin?
Avant!: Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user-to-user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.
Initial release: 0.1.0 / 9 January 2009 (9 years ago)
Ledger start: 3 January 2009 (9 years ago)
Coins: Unspent outputs of transactions (in multiples of a satoshi)
Supply limit: ₿21,000,000
Founder: Satoshi Nakamoto
Programming language: C++
Though still a young AI, one can glean an already impressive level of specificity in Avant!'s answers, perhaps particularly "Who is Siri?". Users might have expected Avant! to opt for an explanation of what Siri is from a technological standpoint, but it clearly responded to the exact language used to formulate the question. Dr. Rittman explained how Avant! works and how this accuracy is achieved.
"When a question is asked, Avant! is searching hundreds of thousands (or millions if necessary), websites for information about the topic," he said. "Then it digs further, inside these sites, analyzing their info, its accuracy, validity and authenticity. If needed, the info found is compared to other sites. Avant! produces results and narrowing the number of websites, to about 100 with the best knowledge about the asked topic. Then another analysis cycle is executed on these sites, narrowing to 10 most relevant web site and from these Avant! collects/presents the best info. All this is done fast, within seconds."
Dr. Rittman explained how the latest Avant! version's private user system allows a personalized storage of data, making it particularly useful for professionals.
"Now, that it has private user system, professionals and individuals can use Avant! for their benefits 24/7," he said. "For example, Medical Doctors can keep knowledge base system of their own about their medical field. In addition to the fact that they can ask Avant! about a specific medical topic, the answers are kept for future use. Aeronautics engineers can ask their own professional questions and create their own knowledge based library. And so on…"
Avant! is still quite new, however, and can still make occasional bungles. The following example illustrates one such instance, in which Avant! comically gets a question about NVIDIA Corporation (NasdaqGS:NVDA) wrong.
Q: Tell me about NVIDIA Corporation.
Avant!: I am an AI engine, made by Gopher Protocol
This is not unusual though. A compendium of amusing mistakes from Apple's (NasdaqGS:AAPL) Siri from the site Macworld shows that this is a necessary growing pain that AI must go through.
Eg: And if I want to see Hamlet, which happens to be playing at the local theater this evening? Um…
Q: "Where can I see a Shakespeare play?"
Siri: "What would you like to listen to?"
Dr. Rittman emphasized Avant!'s age as the reason for the occasional humorous response, but indicates that it may in fact be hints of an emerging personality.
"Avant! is not perfect," he said. "Like a child that just now was born, it has plenty to learn... We just released it to the world about 2 months ago. So yes, sometimes, we get funny answers. But since Avant! is already has its initial cognitive mechanism, we don't rule out that it starts to develop some personality. Are these funny answers that we are getting are an imperfection of Avant! or he is just joking?"
Finally, Dr. Rittman said that it was the company's aim to eventually free Avant! to be without supervision, likening it again to a child maturing past the need of parental custody.
"Avant! is still a supervised AI entity but our goal is to make it completely independent, and ultimately an unsupervised AI entity, exactly as a human," he said. "But the road is still long and as we teach a child about what's right and what's wrong, we'll have to do the same with Avant!. Only after he is well educated about virtues and values, about right and wrong, about morals and privacy, we'll set it free, exactly as loving parents would do with their children…"

#Tech News: Gopher (OTCQB: $GOPH) Technology Now Deployed On WISE Blockchain Platform

WISE Has Successfully Created Its Smart Contract

Investorideas Featured Company: Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTC:GOPH)


San Diego, CA - December 17, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher"), a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, including a global mesh network technology platform for both mobile and fixed solutions, announced today its technology has been successfully deployed by its licensee WISE Network S.A ("WISE"), which has created its smart contract on the Blockchain platform.
As announced in late November, Gopher and WISE collaborated on the implementation of Gopher's licensed technology. WISE has now successfully created its smart contract built on the Ethereum Blockchain, based on the ERC20 standard. The repo link to GitHub where the smart contract can be scrutinized by any developer in the world is https://github.com/GBTTech/wise-erc20-token-smart-contract.
This means that WISE now has completed the token infrastructure and is ready to be launch six months before WISE's anticipated ICO takes place. The WISE smart contract was developed and completed using private funds to build confidence and trust in WISE's Blockchain programming abilities as well as its corporate responsibility towards future token holders in advance - https://youtu.be/eLeBC_aC_RQ.
This early launch proves WISE's commitment to its roadmap, which will soon be part of WISE's new site https://wise.cr.
Doug Davis, Gopher's Interim CEO, stated: "We are proud to see implementation of our technology platform into the Blockchain space in partnership with WISE. While Gopher is not a cryptocurrency or Blockchain company, it is a leading supplier of Asset Tracking IoT and Global Mesh Network technology platforms that licensees such as WISE can use to enhance their Blockchain-based offerings."

About WISE
WISE Network S.A. ("WISE") is a Costa Rican corporation that has created the WISE Platform (http://www.wise.cr/).

WISE will have powered its Enigma Chip, based on Gopher's licensed technology, which will be designed to deploy a radio wave based Blockchain system, enabling distributed ledger, robust security, and real-time, vast data handling for IoT and mobile domains. The chip hardware is accompanied with embedded software, and is designed to work through its private, secured network protocol. Enigma IC can use Wi-Fi or Cellular networks to communicate with other Enigma ICs. In addition, the microchip can communicate via its own radio waves in a wide variety of frequencies, in locations where there are no cellular or Wi-Fi services, thereby expanding IoT tracking of Blockchain-based assets globally. It is expected that this feature opens an entire world of IoT and network possibilities for remote locations. The Enigma microchip includes Gopher's Avant! AI for Blockchain management and security.
A demonstration is available via an educational video released by Gopher and WISE -- https://youtu.be/3z0avXbYZoc

"The reason for the delay in completing the transaction is that, after much effort, we were unable to come to terms with our primary lender regarding the release of their security interest in assets that we are proposing to spin off," said Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of Nxt-ID. "We are currently working with a number of other lenders to replace the existing long-term facility to remove the security interest. We will announce a new record date when we have better clarity on the timing to complete the transaction and to receive various regulatory approvals. We are now targeting to conclude the spin-off before the end of the first quarter of 2019."
The Company previously announced that it intends to separate its payments, authentication and credential management business into an independent company and distribute those shares to Nxt-ID shareholders through the execution of a spin-off, which the Company believes will qualify as a tax-free distribution. Immediately following the transaction, Nxt-ID shareholders, who own shares of Nxt-ID on the new record date to be announced will own shares of both companies. The new company will include the assets acquired in the May 2017 business combination with Fit Pay, Inc. as well as the payment, authentication and credential management assets the Company developed previously by Nxt-ID. Following the spin-off, the Company has an investment commitment for up to $6 million to fund the operations of the new company. The new company intends to apply for listing on the NASDAQ.
PartX, Inc.
The new company, PartX, will include the payment, authentication and credential management assets of Nxt-ID and Fit Pay, Inc, including Fit Pay®'s Token Requester Platform, which enables cardholders to securely add their payment credentials to devices that are integrated with FitPay's token management solution. The Platform allows device manufacturers, merchants, banks and any other entity making digital transactions to offer their customers a safe and convenient payment experience. FitPay is one of the first successful commercializations of a token requestor service provider integrated with the major payment card networks.
PartX's core capabilities also include the development of payment and authentication devices that leverage NFC (near field communication), cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology. It is currently developing digital payment and loyalty devices to be distributed through partners as well as payment devices that enable Bitcoin holders to make contactless payments at retail locations with value exchanged from their cryptocurrency. The assets of the new company will include a portfolio of payment, authentication and blockchain technology patents that have been filed by or issued to Nxt-ID and Fit Pay.
Nxt-ID and LogicMark
Assets associated with Nxt-ID's healthcare subsidiary, LogicMark, LLC, will remain with the Company along with the assets under 3D-ID, LLC. LogicMark produces a range of products within the personal emergency response system (PERS) market. The Company has differentiated itself by offering non-monitored products, which only require a one-time purchase price, instead of a recurring monthly contract, offering a significant value proposition over monitored solutions.
Our LogicMark subsidiary has produced record revenues on an annual basis since its inception and is looking to expand its business into other healthcare verticals as well as retail and enterprise channels in order to better serve the expanding demand for connected and remote healthcare solutions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenues from the Company's continuing operations, excluding Fit Pay as well as the payment, authentication and credential management assets of Nxt-ID, were $13.1 million with operating income from continuing operations of $0.9 million and non-GAAP operating income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges of approximately $2.3 million.
Transaction Details
For further details please see the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2018. Completion of the tax-free spin-off and IPO will be subject to final approval by the Nxt-ID Board of Directors, approval by NASDAQ and a number of other factors, including, the refinancing our current senior debt, market conditions, the execution of inter-company agreements and other matters.
