Digital Turbine, Inc. (NASDAQ: APPS), the #1 mobile platform connecting operators and OEMs with mobile advertisers, announced in early May that it is partnering with leading attribution and analytics companies to accelerate the expansion of SingleTap capabilities by leveraging the scale of existing integrations with application providers. Partners including AppsFlyer, Branch, Kochava, and Singular represent approximately 85% of the top global applications market.

Digital Turbine's SingleTap solution streamlines the app install process by enabling app delivery from any mobile ad in just one tap. SingleTap is currently enabled on more than 150M Android devices globally including nearly 50% of all Android smartphones in the US. SingleTap to date is delivering up to 200% lift in click-to-install conversion rates for advertisers and application providers.

"As the largest and most robust mobile measurement platform on the globe we are excited to integrate the AppsFlyer platform with Digital Turbine's SingleTap Installs solution," said Ben Roodman, Director of Partnerships at AppsFlyer. "We have already seen early success with a number of our application partners and are excited to expand SingleTap across many more apps."

"Improving the customer experience and more accurate attribution have always been the key values of Branch's platform," said Eric Stein, EVP and GM of Partnerships at Branch. "Our app partners can now receive even more value through frictionless app installs powered by Digital Turbine's SingleTap solution, driving their users from an ad directly to the right page of their app without going through the standard download process.

OneSoft Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: OSS) (OTCQB: OSSIF), a North American developer of cloud-based business solutions, recently announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that ended March 31, 2019.

Some of the financial highlights included a revenue of $592,302 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 more than doubled the $283,202 reported for the comparative period, the gross margin remained strong at 86% due to high margin software revenue and compared to 88% in the comparative period, as well as subsequent to the quarter, collection of a large account receivable and completion of the $9.2 million bought deal financing in April 2019 increased cash to approximately $12.7 million.

Management is optimistic that the Company is well positioned to successfully cross the “market adoption chasm” that disruptive new technologies typically experience in their quest to garner market share (refer to Company’s FYE February 28, 2018 MD&A, page 10 for further explanation).

“We believe that OneSoft’s “first mover” advantage in having developed and commercialized the first O&G pipeline integrity management solutions based on cloud computing, machine learning and data science is highly beneficial. Management will now accelerate the development of additional new technology and solutions that are accretive to CIM and will appeal to CIM clients and prospective customers. We believe our strategy to accelerate technology advancement, now feasible because of the capital raise completed in April 2019, will ultimately contribute to increased value for shareholders,” according the companies release.

AudioEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE), a leading provider of digital accessibility solutions that provide barrier-free website access for individuals with disabilities, also recently reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Some of the first quarter operational highlights included augmenting the existing management team through the appointment of 20-year Corporate Finance Executive and proven Business Leader, Sach Barot as new Chief Financial Officer, engaging former New York Governor David Paterson as key political advocate and business consultant for the AudioEye solution with the goal of addressing the significant increase in litigation related to digital accessibility, specifically in New York State and continued growth of direct sales channel client roster in the first quarter with prominent new customers from the technology, fashion, retail, hospitality and healthcare space among others.

Total revenues increased 73% to a record $1.99 million from $1.15 million in the same period a year-ago. The increase in revenues was primarily due to continued execution in direct channel as well as steady growth in the indirect channel and gross profit increased 93% to $1.08 million (54.5% of total revenues) from $562,000 (48.9% of total revenues) in the same year-ago period. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the increase in revenues previously described.

AudioEye Executive Chairman, Carr Bettis said, “The first quarter was a strong start to the year that has us in good position to continue ramping our growth efforts throughout the balance of 2019. Total revenues increased 73% to a record $1.99 million, which marks the thirteenth consecutive quarter that we’ve achieved record topline results. Looking ahead, we’re seeing even greater signs of growth and expansion. The past two months, April and March, have been the best months in the history of our company in terms of cash contract bookings. Thanks to our enhanced public relations and marketing efforts, we’ve been able to increase our pipeline substantially and will look to continue to accelerate this program going forward. We are continuing to strategically funnel financial resources and add key personnel into areas that will allow us to build on our market leading position and further establish AudioEye as the de-facto leader in digital.”

Increased revenue and continued growth supports the idea that this is a still a segment to watch in the tech sector as demand continues to reduce operational costs and proliferate profits through efficient management of assets.

#CryptoCorner Special Report: Is #Crypto Going Mainstream? Increase of Crypto Payments Adoption says Yes (TSXV: $INLA.V) (TSXV: $HUT.V) (NASDAQ: $MARA) (OTC: $GBTC)


#CryptoCorner Special Report: Is #Crypto Going Mainstream? Increase of Crypto Payments Adoption says Yes (TSXV: $INLA.V) (TSXV: $HUT.V) (NASDAQ: $MARA) (OTC: $GBTC)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 4, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering blockchain and cryptocurrency issues a special edition of the Crypto Corner looking at developments in the cryptocurrency sector, featuring Interlapse Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: INLA) and its recent entry in the space as a public company. 


In recent news from The WallStreet Journal, Facebook is reportedly recruiting financial firms to help start a cryptocurrency-based payments system.
The effort represents the most mainstream application yet of cryptocurrency and Facebook has discussed the matter with payments firms including Visa, MasterCard and First Data Corp.
A spokeswoman for Facebook's blockchain efforts declined to comment to the Journal, saying simply that it "is exploring many different applications." 
In just the past 12 months, investments in cryptocurrency-related assets have nearly tripled to $14.4 billion, across more than 700 companies and funds, according to industry tracker Crypto Fund Research. Regulators in New York State describe the market as "thriving" and have granted virtual-currency trading approvals known as "BitLicenses" to at least 18 companies.
Bitcoinist also recently reported on how as the stock market has suffered under US-China relations as of late, Bitcoin “has been outperforming the red-hot stock market by a whopping 10 times so far in 2019. BTC price $8268.81 -2.40% also managed to mark a sharp recovery back to $8,680.”
As Bitcoinist reported, “Bitcoin is breaking through and then finding support at levels which were previously a resistance throughout the bear market. This could suggest the bulls are in control as they are constantly breaking through prior resistance. The next target to break is an important psychological level of $10,000.”
Interlapse Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: INLA), who through their wholly owned subsidiary Coincurve.com allows Canadian customers to buy Bitcoin and BitcoinCash in the simplest form, announced that the Company’s shares commenced trading on May 30th on Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol: INLA.
This listing follows Interlapse’s acquisition of Vancouver-based Skyrun Technology Corp., which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
“The transaction with Skyrun and a concurrent listing on a globally recognized stock exchange brings credibility and authenticity to our business, as well as the entire virtual currency industry,” commented Wayne Chen, co-founder of Skyrun and the newly appointed CEO of Interlapse.
As a result of the Skyrun acquisition, the Company now owns the intellectual property relating to the virtual currency platform coincurve.com, where Canadians and eventually international customers can purchase Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
As a public company, customers can rely on coincurve.com for transparency. Furthermore, coincurve.com is a non-custodial service, greatly minimizing financial risk or loss of customers’ virtual currencies. The company also expects soon to expand globally into emerging and under-banked countries, hoping to educate, adopt and deliver Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to users across the world.
“I am privileged to be a part of this opportunity, and enthusiastic about our expansion into global markets,” Mr. Chen further commented. “With the growing acceptance of virtual currency, we are positioned to flourish within this new, globally connected business frontier.”
Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSXV: HUT) (OTCQX: HUTMF), one of the world's largest public cryptocurrency mining companies by operating capacity and market capitalization, recently announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Some of the Q1-2019 highlights included revenue of $12.1 million for Q1-2019, adjusted EBITDA of negative $1.3 million for Q1-2019, 2,405 bitcoin mined in Q1-2019 and a fair value gain on re-measurement of digital assets of $789,678.
"While bitcoin mining economics significantly improved in April 2019 with an increase in the price of bitcoin, our first quarter was negatively impacted by bitcoin prices consistently trading below US$4,000 and the network difficulty increasing by 14%. In addition, record cold weather in Alberta resulted in higher electricity pricing," said Andrew Kiguel, Chief Executive Officer of Hut 8. "In March and continuing into the second quarter, we have experienced lower electricity prices and a much improved bitcoin price. This has significantly improved our margins in the second quarter thus far."
“Alberta had a record cold winter, which led to higher electricity prices at our operations that are not under a power contract. Despite having higher than normal electricity prices in January and February, Hut 8's cost per bitcoin decreased slightly from US$3,995 in Q4-2018 to US$3,950 in Q1-2019. The impact of management's cost reduction initiatives and electricity optimization in Q1-2019 were successful in offsetting the higher energy prices. In addition, Hut 8's management was successful in reducing corporate overhead excluding non-cash share-based compensation from $994k in Q4-2018 to $747k in Q1-2019.”
For Q1-2019, fair value gain on re-measurement of digital assets of $789,678 represented the gain on adjusting the value of the digital assets held in inventory to the market value on the reporting date. This was the first gain on re-measurement of digital assets in Hut 8's history and marks a turn in the bitcoin prices. In future quarters, the Company would expect to see gains or losses based on the price of bitcoin on the reporting date, relative to the price on the day mined, when revenue is recorded.
Hut 8 recognized negative $1.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA, the first quarter of negative Adjusted EBITDA operations for the Company. A net loss was recorded for the quarter was $6,065,495. Both losses were largely as a result of bitcoin prices remaining at approximately a 52-week low during Q1-2019, hash rates increasing, and volatile natural gas prices which all negatively impacted operations for the quarter.
"Hut 8 remains committed to solely mining bitcoin and to retain as much as possible. Despite harsh operating conditions, Hut 8 retained 2,615 bitcoin at the end of Q1-2019. Management underwent significant cost saving measures at the end of 2018 to ensure we maintain a lean cost structure and are in a position to capitalize on the recent upswing. Our operations are stronger than ever, and we are poised for improved financial performance going forward given the recent appreciation in the price of bitcoin that began in April 2019," said Kiguel.
Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA) also recently announced its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as published in its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Some of the operating results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2019 included revenues of $230,694 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $239,967 during the three months ended March 31, 2018; operating loss improved to $984,909 (inclusive of non-cash expenses) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million (inclusive of non-cash expenses) quarter ended March 31, 2018 and the company had approximately $2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019.
Merrick Okamoto, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We’re pleased to show significant financial improvement on a year over year basis including significant reductions in our operating costs, While recent improvements in the price of Bitcoin are clearly beneficial to our ongoing mining operations and should benefit our financial performance in our Q2, we continue to seek potential acquisition opportunities that we deem to offer the best opportunity for appreciation for our shareholders.”
Grayscale Investments, LLC (OTC: GBTC), a global leader in digital currency asset management, recently announced that common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in Grayscale Ethereum Trust™ (“ETHE”) were approved by FINRA for a public quotation on the OTC Markets.
Launched in 2017 and sponsored by Grayscale, ETHE is an open-ended trust that holds Ethereum and derives its value solely from the value of Ethereum. Investors in ETHE can gain exposure to the price movement of Ethereum without the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping Ethereum. As of April 30, 2019, each Share of ETHE represents ownership of 0.09662399 Ethereum. ETHE will not generate any income and regularly distributes Ethereum to pay for its ongoing expenses. Therefore, the amount of Ethereum represented by each Share gradually decreases over time.
There will be no trading volume in the Shares’ public quotation until the Shares are DTC eligible, which ETHE is expected to receive soon. Investors will be able to find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for Shares of ETHE on the OTC Markets website once trading commences.
Grayscale’s investment products are available to institutional and accredited individual investors. Grayscale sponsors nine single-asset investment products that provide exposure to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Horizen (ZEN), Litecoin (LTC), Stellar Lumens (XLM), XRP, and Zcash (ZEC). In 2018, Grayscale introduced its first diversified investment product, Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund™, which provides exposure to the top digital currencies by market capitalization. As of May 15, 2019, Grayscale managed approximately $1.9 billion in assets.
ETHE is Grayscale’s third publicly quoted investment product. In addition to ETHE, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust™ and Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust™ are also publicly quoted and available to all individual and institutional investors.
Mass adoption of crypto payments and Bitcoin has been viewed with skepticism since its entry into the financial community, however with the recent improvements in technology, more companies coming out with crypto payment solutions and instability in the stock market, 2019 looks to be the closest we’ve come to seeing crypto going mainstream.

Sector Snapshot-Connected #Cars and the #Automotive Industry of the Future (TSXV: $SIM.V) (OTCQX: $SYATF) (NYSE: $BB) (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (TSX: $T.TO)


Sector Snapshot-Connected #Cars and the #Automotive Industry of the Future (TSXV: $SIM.V) (OTCQX: $SYATF) (NYSE: $BB) (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (TSX: $T.TO)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 4, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology and automotive stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on connected car technology and how it will play a leading role in automotive safety in the future.    

According to Adroit Market Research, “The global connected cars market was valued at $73.18 Billion USD in 2018. The global connected cars market is primarily driven by high adoption in the telematics segment. Along with that, factors that have reinforced the market include trend of connectivity solutions and an increase in the need for safety & security.”

Siyata Mobile Inc. (TSX-V:SIM) (OTCQX:SYATF), a leading provider of in-vehicle communication devices is evolving the conversation surrounding automotive safety having just announced the launch of its groundbreaking Uniden ® UV350 on the AT&T network and FirstNet platform.



FirstNet is being built with AT&T in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) – an independent agency within the federal government. It’s designed for first responders and those critical to their emergency response. With this much-needed technology upgrade, first responders can connect to the critical information they need every day and in every emergency.

The FirstNet Ready UV350 device supports FirstNet’s First Priority – which includes priority and preemption for first responders – and FirstNet’s Band 14 spectrum. The company’s UV350 is the only device specifically designated for in-vehicle communications that has been tested and certified to operate on FirstNet.

The Uniden® UV350 is built and designed to minimize the excessive clutter often found in the cabin of firetrucks, ambulances, yellow school buses and police squad cars by combining the functions of multiple devices into one. Using Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC), drivers can communicate crystal-clear sound at the touch of a button, and unlike traditional cellular communication devices, the UV350 is powered by the vehicle battery, ensuring drivers are always connected in emergency situations.

Before being certified and approved for use on FirstNet, devices are subject to hundreds of tests that cover a number of aspects, from security and durability to network impacts. This helps make sure that they can meet the needs of first responders. All FirstNet Ready devices are listed at on the FirstNet device page.

“FirstNet devices and modules go through extensive review, so First Responders can be confident that Siyata’s UV350 meets the highest standards for reliability, security and performance,” said Bob Sloan, Chief Operating Officer, FirstNet program at AT&T. “The more tools public safety has access to on their network, the more we can help them achieve their mission. We are happy to be the first U.S. cellular carrier to launch Uniden’s NextGen Vehicle Communicator – an innovative in-vehicle mounted phablet. We believe it will be an excellent answer for both existing and newly migrating FirstNet subscribers seeking an in-vehicle communication device.”

A recent Frost and Sullivan report supports the Siyata Mobile Inc. strategy noting"Connected car makers will be eager to build strategic partnerships with telecom providers and communication module makers to augment on-road safety and offer in-vehicle, data-rich services."

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) (TSX: BB)looking at connected cars and security says, “Cybersecurity is top of mind for automakers as their cars become more connected to the outside world. Today’s vehicles are computers on wheels—with over 100 million lines of software per car. This degree of connectivity allows bad actors to hack into cars and their software, with the potential to create havoc. The risk posed to automakers can be mitigated with a well-designed end-to-end security solution and alignment with security best practices.”

BlackBerry received $40 million in federal funding to help develop technologies that make cars safer, more connected to cyberspace and eventually, capable of driving themselves. Back in February the company announced that it had completed an Australian Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment by an accredited IRAP auditor.  The assessment enables BlackBerry Cylance to obtain the IRAP certification. The company will be the first endpoint security provider to receive IRAP certification, allowing Australian government agencies to protect their environments with AI-driven security solutions.

Solutions certified under the IRAP program meet the expected Australian government security requirements, as defined by the attorney general's Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). All federal government entities applying the ISM are restricted to using IRAP-compliant applications running on cloud services listed on the Certified Cloud Services List

"Federal agencies can now take advantage of AI-driven, prevention-first security solutions for the first time. With access to BlackBerry Cylance solutions, government and commercial entities can drive a prevention-first strategic approach to cyber, without the friction and complexity that occurs with many other security controls today," said Jason Duerden, country manager for Australia and New Zealand at BlackBerry Cylance. "With this assessment and certification, BlackBerry Cylance is now in a position to proactively secure Australia's most important federal assets, offer the outcome of a safer Australia in which to live and do business, and in turn further our mission to protect every endpoint under the sun."

U.S. electric car maker Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), predicted in 2016 to become the ultimate ‘Connected Car, set the benchmark for what the connected car could be with the launch of the Model S.

According to a report from  CNBC in early May this year, citing a Citibank and Goldman Sachs hosted  “broad investor call” with Tesla executives, “Musk confidently told investors  that autonomous driving will transform Tesla into a company with a $500 billion market cap. Its current market cap stands around $42 billion. He also said that existing Tesla’s will increase in value as self-driving capabilities are added via software, and will be worth up to $250,000 within three years.”

Continued: “He (Musk) said that even though Tesla drivers need to keep hands on the wheel today, that will become less necessary over time. Musk said that competitors such as GM’s Cruise and Alphabet’s Waymo can’t catch up because Tesla has a fleet of connected cars on the road today, and a proprietary chip.”

Mobility technology company, Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG), can lay claim to an industry first in connected car technology applications. In 2017, Magna, 3M and the Michigan Department of Transportation started testing vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity in real-world situations, such as highway work zones and county roads.

According to Magna, the collaboration began with the launch of the nation’s first vehicle-to-infrastructure connected work zone, which was built along a three-mile section of I-75 in Oakland County, Michigan.

“The ability for vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and the infrastructure ‘shows great promise in helping to avoid crashes, ease traffic and improve the environment’, says the US Department of Transportation.”

At CES earlier this year, Bosch and Mojio, the leading platform for connected cars, announced a jointly developed, IoT integrated emergency response solution. The new offering adds crash detection and emergency call (eCall) response to an existing connected car solution from Mojio. Through the simple combination of a plug-and-play device for the vehicle’s OBD-II port and a mobile app, nearly a million consumers in North America and Europe have already upgraded their cars with Mojio’s white-label connected car solutions. These connected car offerings are deployed by Mojio’s portfolio of mobile network operator customers, including Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US and Telus (TSX: T) (NYSE: TU).

Telus is pushing its Connected Car Drive + technology saying, “From a few vehicles to a full scale fleet, the TELUS Connected Vehicle portfolio empowers business owners to efficiently & safely manage their vehicles. “

“With more than a billion unconnected cars still on the road today, industry collaboration is critical to accelerate the deployment of connected mobility services across the globe,” said Kenny Hawk, CEO, Mojio. “Together with Bosch, we’re addressing the key barriers that automakers face in building profitable connected mobility services - in turn, helping OEMs shift their focus towards the rapidly-evolving expectations of the global driving community.”

‘With more than a billion unconnected cars still on the road today’, this clearly shows the massive potential future of this industry, and analysts say that Connected Car tech is the most significant trend in the automotive sector in the last 50 years.
