Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: $GOPH) Introduces New Social Media Game, "PUZPIX"

Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: $GOPH) Introduces New Social Media Game, "PUZPIX"



SAN DIEGO, CA - July 27, 2016 (Investorideas.com 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 and Alpha EDA, LLC, announced today that they have completed the design and construction of version I of PUZPIX, a unique social media game based on their GOPHERINSIGHT™ integrated circuit technology.

PUZPIX (version I) is a social media game, where a user posts pictures to friends or to the user base and the recipients may solve the posted pictures as a nine (9) piece puzzle with a designated time to assemble the puzzle in order to capture a score. As a user's puzzle skills improve, the system automatically increases puzzle challenge levels. The Company also intends to develop a 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 might even require users to venture outdoors in order to find and collect puzzle pieces. Upon the Company and its partner's 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.

"This entertainment by-product of our technology illustrates the potential for additional products that might be introduced by the Company in the future. We are extremely excited about it," said Dr. Rittman, the CTO of the Company.

The PUZPIX test version works with the Company's mobile app, which can be downloaded for free at the Apple Store (and on Google Play within the next two weeks) under the name "PUZPIX". As a courtesy to the public, the Company previously released the Guardian Patch app to provide users with live views of the Guardian Patch units during testing.

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. The Company will announce the activation of the PUZPIX.COM website.


About Guardian Patch
The Guardian Patch (the "Patch"), potentially arriving in consumer markets in 2017, is a unique 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. Download the Patch app, register your patch, and track anything that you own on your mobile device or on our designated website. Register the Patches of your family members and friends to receive alerts in the event of an emergency. Peel the Patch off and the Patch acts as a beacon, sending out a signal and notifying anyone who has registered the user's Patch.

About Gopher Protocol Inc.
Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the "Company") (http://gopherprotocol.com/) is a development-stage company developing a real-time, heuristic-based mobile technology. Upon development, the technology will consist of a smart microchip, mobile application software and supporting software that will run on a server. The system contemplates the creation of a global network. 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 technology that will be capable of being installed in any mobile device worldwide, Gopher expects that this will result in an internal, private network between all mobile devices utilizing the microchip by providing mobile technology for computing power enhancement, advanced mobile database management/sharing and other additional mobile features.

NXT-ID (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Completes Acquisition of LogicMark



MELBOURNE, Florida - July 26, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD) (NXTDW) ("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a company focused on the growing mobile commerce market announces it has completed its acquisition of LogicMark, LLC ("LogicMark"), a leading provider of unmonitored personal emergency response devices (PERS).

NXT-ID, Inc. has completed its previously announced acquisition of LogicMark for $20,000,000, and $900,000 of stock and warrants. In addition, LogicMark's selling equity holders may be paid an earn-out of up to $6,500,000 based on achieving certain performance goals within the next 18 months. The acquisition was financed with a $15,000,000 senior secured debt facility provided by ExWorks Capital Fund and $4,500,000 of preferred equity provided by several institutional investors.

Aegis Capital Corp. served as exclusive placement agent for the debt and equity financing, as well as financial advisor to NXT-ID. Livingstone, an international mid-market M&A and debt advisory firm, served as advisor to Logicmark.

For the year ended December 31, 2015 LogicMark had audited revenue and net profit of $ 11.1 million and $ 3.1 million respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, LogicMark had unaudited revenue and net profit of $ 3.3 million and $ 1.0 respectively.

LogicMark is comprised of a staff of 22 full-time professionals, 3 part-time professionals, and 5 contractors.

Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "This is a significant milestone for the Company. LogicMark is a market leader in unmonitored PERS devices and we believe we can potentially add significant value by integrating our voice biometric technology as well as detection sensors and miniaturization to future versions of LogicMark products.
