DPL’s desire is to bring world-class companies lending opportunities while allowing main street investors to participate.

Super Crypto Mining endeavors to leverage its engineering expertise and existing global facilities (high-security defense business locations) to secure mining farms. Super Crypto Mining is a rapidly growing organization that recently strategically secured 25 megawatts to power the company’s mining farm. For crypto currency mining, locations with inexpensive power and secure capacity are minimal and hence costly. Having such a location allows the company to grow its mining business to more than 20,000 mining machines. Super Crypto Mining continues to purchase mining machines and explore opportunities to expand its services into other related areas including mining farm real estate investments, mining machine development, and mainstream blockchain projects.

DPW additionally has beneficiary ownership in MTIX International, Inc., the parent company of MTIX, Ltd. and I.AM, Inc.

MTIX was acquired by Avalanche International aka MTIX International, Inc., in August 2017 and offers “green technology” that uses a proprietary laser process to enhance the surface of textiles. This process reduces water usage by approximately 75 percent, reduces greenhouse gases by approximately 90 percent, and reduces chemical use by approximately 95 percent.

I.AM, acquired in May 2018, owns and operates hospitality offerings that include four Prep Kitchen brand restaurants and Giulia DTLA.

Utilizing a shareholder-centric approach to compensation, DPW has formulated the following 10-year objectives:

• Achieve compounded annual revenue growth of 25-35%

• Achieve positive unrestricted free cash flow by the end of 2019

DPW is led by a seasoned team of successful business professionals and entrepreneurs. The company is headquartered in Newport Beach, California.

• Billion dollar wearable tech market set to hit $34 billion by 2020
• GPS tracking technology is basis for diverse range of consumer and military products
• GTXO to execute reverse split as part of plan to uplist to OTCQB Venture Exchange

It’s no fun being lost, not for you nor for anxious loved ones imagining the worst. At times like that, a lot can go wrong, particularly for young children or adults suffering from cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Luckily, solutions developed by GTX Corp (OTC: GTXO) can make a difference. The company has created a range of tracking technologies that provide comfort and safety and make it a pioneer in the GPS wearables market. Its premier product is the award-winning GPS SmartSole®, which is the world’s first invisible wearable tracking device designed specifically for people at risk of becoming lost or disoriented. With GTX Corp’s proprietary technologies and products, there’s no need for a lost and found, since you can’t find what you never lost in the first place.

More than 16 million people in the U.S. are currently suffering from some form of cognitive impairment, according to the CDC. This number is likely to increase dramatically in the coming years as lifespans go up. Alarmingly, the most familiar form of cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, afflicts an estimated 5.1 million Americans aged 65 years or older, a number that’s set to rise to 13.2 million by 2050 (http://ibn.fm/gsD4L). Cognitive impairment takes an exacting toll on sufferers. Its symptoms include impaired judgment, vision problems, inability to recognize familiar people and places, changes in mood and memory loss. The latter can turn an innocuous environment into a decidedly hostile one, provoking behavior that creates additional problems. In such a situation, despite being unsure of where they are and how to go forward, someone wearing one of GTXO’s tracking devices can rest assured that they will be easily located. In addition to its practical search-and-rescue benefits, GTXO technology will provide loved ones with a reassuring degree of comfort.

Its flagship product, the GPS SmartSole, hides unobtrusively inside one’s footwear as a shoe insert, and though it will, undoubtedly, find application in domestic situations, such as protecting a child, a senior or an adult with some disability, it can obviously be deployed in commerce, law enforcement, the military and personal security applications. The patented GPS enabled “smart” insoles allow for monitoring of the whereabouts of loved ones who may be susceptible to wandering or at risk of becoming disoriented and lost. Their location can be tracked through any smartphone, tablet or desktop web browser, with notifications by text or email if they leave or enter defined areas on a map.

GTX Corp has also designed its innovative technology into a number of consumer and military products. The Take-Along Tracker is a miniaturized GPS tracking device that is less than three inches long, weighing less than three ounces. It’s easy to use, since it can be put in a purse or pocket or attached to a keychain, lanyard, backpack or belt buckle. The VOICE model has a built-in speaker phone. The Invisabelt, designed for young children, has a GPS chip hidden in a secret waistband pocket. The Track My Workforce App helps employers keep tabs on staff working outside the office, while the Personnel Equipment Tracking System, currently in use at Edwards Air Force Base, allows real-time monitoring and surveillance of personnel and assets and has 200+ square mile coverage. Its solar powering capabilities and extended battery life make it ideal for deployment in areas without existing power sources.

The GPS Rifle Tracker is the company’s smallest GPS tracker, designed to withstand shocks and water submersion due to its robust, military standard enclosure. It can be mounted on any AR15 platform picatinny rail to detect weapon discharge, track weapons and inventory and send time and location alerts. With such a formidable portfolio, GTX Corp is unlikely to lose its way in the fast developing wearable tech market, which is conservatively estimated at $6 billion currently and set to grow to $34 billion, according to Forbes (http://ibn.fm/I3IVo).

GTX Corp is now in final preparations to enact a reverse stock split that will bring the company’s share price above $0.10, making GTXO stock eligible to be uplisted to the OTCQB Venture Exchange (http://ibn.fm/0xZlo).

Announcing the news, Patrick Bertagna, CEO of GTX Corp, commented, “This is a long-term plan the company’s board and management have been strategically working on over the past several months in order to make the public side of the business more reflective of the positive milestones and forward progress achieved in recent months, along with positioning the company for the future. The company has experienced an overall solid first quarter, with double-digit increases or decreases in all the major metrics – revenues were up, subscribers were up, margins and profits were up, while cost of operations, professional services, G&A and net losses decreased. GTX Corp also successfully completed the delivery of its first large-scale military contract. In addition to these achievements, the company has also secured a strategic financial partner that has begun providing funding and will continue to provide the growth capital needed throughout 2018 and 2019 in order to support long-term success.”

• Company has acquired 1,312 additional acres adjacent to its Asphalt Ridge heavy oil extraction facility in Utah
• Acquisition brings company’s total contingent resources to 2,541 leased acres and 87.49 million barrels of mineable oil sands
• Full production at Asphalt Ridge is slated for 2019

Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) (FRANKFURT: A2DYWC), a fully integrated oil and gas company focused on developing and implementing a proprietary new oil extraction technology, has announced the acquisition of additional acreage in Utah’s resource-abundant Uintah Basin.

At auction, Petroteq finalized the acquisition of a 100 percent interest in two leases totaling 1,312 acres adjacent to its Asphalt Ridge heavy oil extraction facility, located near Vernal, Utah. According to a recent Chapman report dated April 30, 2018, titled ‘Evaluation of Contingent Resources’, the newly acquired leases contain 7.331 million barrels of contingent resource, greatly expanding the company’s total contingent resources and bringing its current total to 2,541 leased acres and 87.49 million barrels of mineable oil sands.

The acquisition of the additional acreage increases Petroteq’s operating footprint at Asphalt Ridge, providing the company with more mineable resources while also offering added flexibility regarding how Petroteq mines the acreage it already possesses. The company is making plans to apply its patented mining extraction technology process to the new resource.

Petroteq’s patented technology is a sustainable, environmentally safe and cost-effective method of extracting heavy oils from oil sands, oil shale deposits and shallow oil deposits. The process produces no greenhouse gases, results in zero waste and does not require high temperatures. This revolutionary method has the potential to wholly disrupt currently used oil extraction processes, which are hugely damaging to the environment and also require a significant capital investment.

More than half of America’s oil sands deposits are located in Utah, making Petroteq’s presence and property expansion in that state well justified. Production capacity is currently being increased at the Asphalt Ridge facility, with full production slated to commence there in 2019. Final engineering, procurement and construction processes are presently underway at the facility.

Petroteq is additionally developing, through wholly owned subsidiary PetroBLOQ, LLC, the very first blockchain-based platform specifically tailored to meet the supply chain needs of the oil and gas sector. This technology works in concert with the company’s production system to ensure optimum efficiency.

• Virtual Crypto offers the world’s first and only ATM that enables real-time bitcoin conversion, purchase and sale
• Company’s solutions solve various cryptocurrency usage problems, including the problematic time gap that exists between crypto transactions and blockchain confirmation
• Company’s solutions utilize artificial intelligence and cryptographic algorithmic technology to create a new standard of speed and accuracy

While cryptocurrencies continue to garner focus in the financial world, there is undeniably much room for improvement when it comes to cryptocurrency-related technology, including solutions for transacting, security and usability. The cryptocurrency frontier is, therefore, rich with opportunities for fintech pioneers like Virtual Crypto Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: VRCP).

The mission of Virtual Crypto is to make instant, secure and user-friendly cryptocurrency financial services available to every person and business in the world. The company aims to do this by creating payment solutions that combine application programming interfaces (APIs) and mobile applications for implementation across ATMs, PCs, tablets and other mobile devices. The company continues moving steadily toward its goal of making cryptocurrencies accessible and user-friendly for the general public.

Virtual Crypto’s products dramatically improve the overall cryptocurrency usage experience for individuals and businesses, from crypto trading to crypto commerce. The company’s disruptive offerings include NetoBit, which is a real-time cryptography-based algorithmic cryptocurrency transaction validation engine. The company’s suite of products utilizing NetoBit technology include NetoBit ATM and NetoBit Pay.

In June, Virtual Crypto announced the launch of NetoBit ATM, a cutting-edge bitcoin automated teller machine (http://ibn.fm/8P58L). Unlike most of the bitcoin ATM platforms currently on the market, which only allow users to purchase bitcoin, NetoBit ATM is a bidirectional platform that enables users to both buy and sell bitcoin. NetoBit ATM is also the only ATM in existence that facilitates real-time bitcoin conversion, including purchase and sale. The product already supports most common currencies and is available for purchase worldwide.

The launch of NetoBit ATM came on the heels of Virtual Crypto’s April 2018 introduction of its first product in the NetoBit portfolio, NetoBit Pay. NetoBit Pay is a retail point-of-sale device that allows businesses throughout the world to securely receive bitcoin payments in real time while also providing protection against exchange rate instability and guaranteeing transactions valued up to $3,000.

Virtual Crypto’s cryptocurrency transaction confirmation API, launched in May 2018, is called Bit4Sure. This cryptocurrency transaction confirmation solution includes a mobile app, and it resolves a key problem faced by cryptocurrency users – the time gap that exists between making a crypto transaction and receiving confirmation that the transaction was valid.

A traditional bitcoin transaction can take between 10 minutes and 24 hours to be fully confirmed. This wait period, coupled with the uncertainty that enshrouds any cryptocurrency trade’s legitimacy, currently makes it impractical to use cryptocurrency in ordinary commerce settings, prompting both consumers and businesses to continue using traditional payment methods. However, with Virtual Crypto’s game-changing solutions, this is set to change.

Virtual Crypto’s validation algorithm predicts, with a high degree of accuracy, whether a bitcoin trade will be confirmed by the bitcoin network, enabling immediate validation of bitcoin transactions. This is a huge factor in making cryptocurrency usage not only pleasant but practical.

An added issue that Virtual Crypto is resolving for cryptocurrency users is restrictive exclusivity. Most cryptocurrency trade providers allow a customer to interact with one exchange agency only, tying the customer to the exchange rate offered by that agency. In contrast, Virtual Crypto enables customers to work with several crypto exchanges simultaneously when making a transaction, allowing them to receive the best crypto exchange rates available at the time of transaction.

Leading the charge in cryptocurrency technology breakthroughs, Virtual Crypto is poised to become a standout market leader.

• NETE’s international e-commerce platforms processed over 154 million transactions, totaling $2.8 billion, in more than 50 countries during 2017
• NETE’s value-added transactional services, marketing solutions, analytics and mobile payments provide award-winning options for businesses around the world

Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE), a global financial services, technology and value-added solutions provider focused on electronic payment acceptance in multi-channel environments, continues to earn accolades as one of the fastest growing companies in North America on Deloitte’s 2017 Technology Fast 500™.  In an exclusive interview with NetworkNewsAudio (http://ibn.fm/nFlPV), NETE CEO Oleg Firer provides insight into the company’s business model and how it’s earning its strong track record of increasing revenues.

Net Element operates as a payments-as-a-service transactional and value-added services platform for small to medium enterprises in the U.S. and selected emerging markets around the globe. The company’s point-of-sale solutions enable retail and e-commerce merchants to accept cashless payments from consumers, who are increasingly using their purchasing power from the comfort of mobile devices. A recent Google report notes that mobile usage is intensifying, and B2B researchers are using their mobile devices in the purchasing process (http://ibn.fm/r6WeC).

During 2017, Net Element processed over $2.8 billion in more than 154 million transactions from merchants in over 50 countries, Firer said.

“All of our products have value-added service offerings,” Firer told listeners. “We have one goal, to streamline payments at the point of sales and increase revenues for merchants internationally.”

2017 was a watershed year for e-commerce as online buying attracted more consumers, proving to businesses that accelerating a move to digital platforms is the path forward, as detailed in a recent Forbes article (http://ibn.fm/AuFNc). In fact, B2B e-commerce in the U.S. is projected to reach $1.2 trillion and account for more than 13 percent of all B2B sales by 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4 percent, according to a report by Forrester (http://ibn.fm/bLg9s). According to Statista’s 2017 B2B Ecommerce report, “B2B business is now dwarfing that of the B2C business,” with global B2B sales estimated at $7.7 trillion, compared to $2.3 trillion in B2C sales.

As a technology-driven group specializing in mobile payments and value-added transactional services, Net Element offers several solutions for merchants seeking their share of the e-commerce market. The company’s Netevia platform streamlines B2B payments by improving vendor payment processes and reducing the costs to send payments through a user-friendly web and mobile platform interface.

“We are excited to enable this functionality on our Netevia platform and make Netevia a market platform where small and medium-sized businesses can find comprehensive and innovative card payments-oriented solutions to enhance their operations,” Vlad Sadovskiy, president of integrated payments for Net Element, said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/vg8KT). “Enabling vendor payments is one more step towards achieving this goal,”

• Energy industry is changing, and Zenergy aspires to be a leader and facilitator of that change
• United States dropped to number 10 in international energy efficiency ratings
• Providing energy road mapping to potential clients

Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY) is a next-generation energy and technology company that combines energy services and smart controls. The company offers commercial, industrial and municipal customers the ability to reduce their utility consumption and carbon footprint while decreasing the demand on the national energy grid and water supply in the United States. How energy is generated, traded, purchased and sold is radically changing, and the company aspires to be the industry leader and facilitator of that change, striving to be good stewards of the planet and its resources.

A recent report from U.S. Energy News stated that the U.S. is falling behind on energy efficiency and has dropped to number 10 in a new international rating (http://ibn.fm/RMbgo). Zenergy is uniquely poised to capitalize on the world’s growing desire for increased energy efficiency and potentially position the U.S. higher in global rankings.

Through its flagship Zero Cost Program™, the company provides conservation and sustainability services that most other utility companies cannot offer. The economic benefit is passed on to the client while reducing demand on the national grid through a reduction of utility consumption. Utility bills are decreased by 20-60 percent thanks to the smart controls and efficiency-based products and services that the company installs. This win-win solution allows for the upgrade of older, inefficient energy infrastructure while leaving a lasting positive impact on the environment, all without an upfront or backend cost to the client. A running data analysis of the effects of Zenergy’s services is on display in real time on the company’s website.

Zenergy provides energy “road-mapping” to businesses of all types and sizes, helping its clients develop and execute an energy buying strategy for their foreseeable future. This innovative approach antiquates the idea of allowing a utility company or energy supplier to set a rate that clients will pay without question. Utility companies of the past have been in the business of selling as many kilowatt-hours of electricity or dekatherms of natural gas as reasonably allowed. Zenergy is working hard to put a stop to this practice by educating consumers with smart solutions.

Other channel packages include Choice TV (a wide variety of popular options for the family), Spanish TV, Faith TV and Morocco TV, providing current genre-specific subscriptions for news, faith, drama, sports, movie, reality and children’s programming.

WhereverTV’s free app works with iOS and Android devices to cover the spectrum of mobile consumer needs, as well as with personal desktop or laptop computers through its over the top (OTT) platform. The platform delivers channels, shows and events to SmartTVs and digital media receivers that include Google Chromecast, AppleTV, Amazon Fire TV, iPhone, iPad, Android Smartphone and TabletPCs, with DVR recording functionality slated for future development.

The company, based in Fort Myers, Florida, was developed in 2007 as a solution to its founder’s frustration with the complexities of trying to stream English speaking content while abroad.  As the live-streaming market has developed over the decade since then, WhereverTV has gained recognition as a pioneer in next-generation content delivery systems.

WhereverTV’s strategy is to increase revenue-generating subscriptions worldwide through the acquisition of content that is desirable to consumers and deliverable anywhere a device can connect to the Internet. Prepaid accounts will be accessed through the cloud, and the IPG technology will allow users to make their viewing choices. The company has developed two separate divisions, one for worldwide distribution and one for Latin American distribution.

In 2017, the company acquired Digital Rodeo, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company that delivers a rich mixture of music and videos from independent country artists, current arrests and legacy artists, as well as similar Florida-based companies Digital RodeoTV, LLC (Name changed to WhereverTV Country in 2018), Digital CrossTV, Inc., Digital PopTV, Inc., and Digital RockTV, Inc.

“WhereverTV is transitioning from a development to operational company and in doing so we have refined our 2018 business model,” CEO Edward D. Ciofani stated. “Our business model calls for content acquisition from around the world, exclusive content development, Major Marketing Alliances, similar to the announced Google Chromecast for Latin America and major marketing initiatives including social media marketing. … There are a lot of content providers (channel providers) around the world that offer a uniquely diversified perspective of cultures, travel and lifestyle content.”

As an increasing number of people “Cord-Cutters” no longer subscribe to the traditional cable or satellite distribution but rather a simpler lower cost means of watching content. The streaming OTT industry is expected to grow to $62 billion by 2020 — nearly triple its revenues in 2015, per Goldman Small Cap Research. Future Market Insights estimated the North America OTT market alone at $16.29 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 17.4 percent through 2028. The arrival of 5G technology this year has the potential to accelerate the pace.
