#Tech News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Conducting Extensive Hardware/Software Validation of Its MESH System

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


San Diego, CA - December 26, 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 is conducting an extensive hardware and software validation of its MESH network system, prior to full system testing.
Gopher's MESH network is a complex system that is targeted to be used in life-critical applications (security, military, autonomous machines, communications, and more) and, therefore, requires a systematic approach to verify and validate its functionality.
System hardware and software validation is an essential process when the system is to be used in a process or task that can have any effect on the quality, safety, efficacy of a product or product mandated data.
In order to manage the complexity of the system, Gopher is using validation techniques and methodologies in which functionality is verified by simulating and validating processes according to the system's description. Gopher is now conducting firmware (FW) and hardware validation of the time division operation and its synchronization with the system's RTC (Real-Time-Clock). The main validation challenge is the Sleep/Awake up process given the fact that the system works in milli-seconds time frames. In order to enable fast, real-time response, the system was designed to work within very short time intervals. The hardware (CPU, RTC, more) and on-board software need to be synchronized together in order to execute a decision when to listen, go to sleep, wake up or remain in idle state. This is a crucial factor of the system in order to maintain long battery life and efficient power consumption.
"We are now in system validation stage, prior to full system testing and this is the phase when we typically detect flaws in the architecture. Gladly, we are proud to announce that, so far, the system is functioning according to design parameters and the results are satisfactory," stated Dr. Danny Rittman, Gopher's CTO.
"A practical difficulty in the validation of advanced hardware systems is choosing the proper design abstraction level, which provides a trade-off between simulation complexity and error modelling accuracy. Our validation is performed at all levels of abstraction, from the system's behavior, down to each module's functionality. In order to validate the system's behavioral hardware, we use an industry standard description languages, such as VHDL (Very High Speed Hardware Description Language), which is typically used to describe the behavior and structure of electronic systems, and Verilog (a hardware description language (HDL) used to model electronic systems). In addition, we validate the actual hardware to verify system's functionality according to the architecture specification. One of the major challenges of such validation is the functionality of our time division system, given the fact that it is working within very small time frames, i.e. milliseconds.
"I always compare this system to an orchestra's conductor who makes decisions about timing, which in our system equates to sleep mode, wake up and listening process. This type of mechanism has to work very accurately according to software control and a built in state machine, in order to synchronize the device operational states. We are now addressing functional issues and solutions in both our hardware and software. To date, we are pleased with the results and we are preparing to perform full system testing in the near future."

Boerse Stuttgart's Bison App to Launch Crypto Exchange Platform, Binance Debuts Two New Trading Pairs, US Legislators Introduce Bill to Sanction Iran's Crypto Development and the Bank of Israel Requests DLT Information

Though seeming to cool down on Friday, the crypto market picked up steam over the weekend and is starting the week with a total market capitalization of $141 billion USD at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. Most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the green. Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are leading with trading prices of $4125, $0.42, $148 and $195, respectively.
Bison App, a crypto app powered by Germany's Boerse Stuttgart stock exchange, has announced via Twitter that its plans for a crypto trading platform will enter a beta phase in January 2019. The platform will initially support Bitcoin, XRP, Ether and Litecoin (LTC).
Leading crypto exchange Binance has announced two new trading pairs in a blog post today. Both Tron (TRX/XRP) and Zcoin (XZC/XRP) debuted today. Notably, this is the first instance of Binance using XRP as a base currency in a trading pair. Elsewhere, CCN quotes Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, or CZ, on the state of the crypto space. The quote is taken from a conversation on the program "Bloomberg Daybreak: Middle East".
"2018 has been a tough year in terms of pricing for the cryptocurrency. And we see a lot of projects not making it this year, so it's a correction year. But technology will stay, and we wanna kick off 2019 with a bang… So I think the people in the industry are still very confident about the future. So there's no worries about that."
U.S. legislators have introduced a bill into the House of Representatives that would impose sanctions on Iran's cryptocurrency development. Citing concerns of money laundering and funding of terrorism from the Islamic republic, the bill seeks to sanction foreign individuals who participate in transactions with Iran as well.
The Bank of Israel has filed a request for information with regard to digital ledger technology, or as the press release reads: "Regulatory Coordination of Virtual Assets". The document explains that the Bank of Israel is seeking to better understand the technology so that it may better regulate it.
The team would like to monitor developments in this area in Israel and abroad, and to examine the issues concerning the application of regulation to the various uses of the technology and their implications for economic activity, the financial markets and financial stability. The team will gather data and information for the purpose of creating a knowledge base on the issue for regulators and the public, and in order to formulate recommendations regarding the desired regulatory policy.

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)

As we enter the weekend the crypto market seems to be mellowing after a considerable rally this week. Despite grazing the $100 billion USD mark around this time last week, the total market cap is sitting at $132 billion at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. This is down a bit from the peak seen yesterday of $137 billion. In the course of this week's rally, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has rocketed back into fourth place in terms of market cap, displacing EOS and now leading the latter by about $900 million. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for $4032, XRP for $0.37 and Ether (ETH) for $113.
Bloomberg reports that Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB) is developing a cryptocurrency for messaging app WhatsApp. Unnamed sources told Bloomberg that it will be a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and will initially be focused on remittances. The article quotes a Facebook spokesman:
"Like many other companies, Facebook is exploring ways to leverage the power of blockchain technology. This new small team is exploring many different applications. We don't have anything further to share."
Crypto exchange giant Coinbase announced its expansion into six new European markets in a blog post yesterday. These include Andorra, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Iceland, the Isle of Man and Lithuania. The post indicates that users in these regions will be able to fully utilize Coinbase.com and the iOS and Android apps, and that Coinbase Pro and Prime will me made available at a later date. Coinbase adds that they plan to expand further still in 2019.
The website Coin ATM Radar has published data which shows that the number of new Crypto ATMs has continued to increase even as the market has declined. The data indicates that though the price of Bitcoin was down about 35 percent from the beginning of November to the end, the growth of ATMs roughly kept pace with October, growing 3.6 percent.
A Brazilian supermarket chain began accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment on Tuesday, according to local outlet Portal do Bitcoin. Oásis Supermercados, a chain of supermarkets in Rio de Janeiro allows purchases with Bitcoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. Manager Douglas Andrade said the decision was made by his brother Thiago, a fellow manager, after the latter had watched a video explaining adoption of cryptocurrencies. Andrade called the process "too easy" and said:
"It is the same as the payment by credit card. The client says which cryptocurrency he wants to pay, the operator types in and the system already converts to that crypto. Then [they] just get the QR code and you're done."
