Revolutionizing Inter-Blockchain Communication

Telos Foundation

Trustless Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) is a cutting-edge technology that holds the potential to revolutionize the way different blockchains interact with each other. It’s a major advancement over current IBC solutions as it eliminates the need for intermediaries and provides a secure and trust-free way for blockchains to communicate with one another. Telos’ vision for Trustless IBC is to provide a scalable and highly efficient solution that fully leverages the benefits of IBC, providing the best possible user experience for developers and users alike. This technology was built by the UX Network team and will initially interconnect all Antelope coalition chains in a trustless way. This technology is important in enabling Telos to achieve its vision of a truly decentralized, secure, and connected world. The goal is to create a network effect that has the potential to connect with other ecosystems. Multiple Side Chains Potential Trustless IBC’s capacity to support multiple side chains is one of its most alluring features. This means that developers can create new and innovative solutions by constructing new side chains that interact with the main chain, offering limitless growth and innovation opportunities. With Trustless IBC, developers are unrestricted in their ability to create solutions that take advantage of the unique benefits of each side chain. Horizontal scaling via side chains is just the tip of the iceberg, connecting these existing chains will create a network effect with the possibility of other ecosystems like Cosmos also on the horizon. App Specific Chains As a project grows, it becomes increasingly important for it to have the ability to handle larger amounts of user data and transactions. For example, as digital platforms like VirtualStaX or Appics attract more users, the challenge of handling large amounts of data and transactions becomes more pressing. Scaling a platform to meet this growing demand while maintaining security and efficiency is critical for success. This is where Telos’ Trustless IBC comes into play, offering a solution that enables these platforms to have their own side chain that operates independently, yet securely connected to other blockchain networks. With Telos’ Trustless IBC, these platforms can scale to accommodate millions of users without sacrificing performance or security, providing a secure and scalable solution for their future growth. Use Case Specific Chains Use-case specific side chains have the potential to revolutionize the way transactions are made and processed. For instance, a privacy chain specifically designed for secure transactions would provide a much-needed solution to users who value their financial privacy. Transactions made on this chain would still use TLOS but would require code changes and technologies such as ZK snarks to obscure transaction data, making it difficult for anyone to track and monitor the transactions. With Telos’ Trustless IBC, new chains like a privacy chain can be easily added to the network, providing greater flexibility and scalability for users who require specific use-cases. This ability to add new chains and connect them securely with our transparent mainnet makes Telos’ Trustless IBC an ideal solution for developing use-case specific side chains and unlocking their full potential. Unlimited TPS and Scalable Solutions Another major benefit of Trustless IBC is its ability to provide unlimited transaction per second (TPS) and scalable solutions via horizontal scaling. With Trustless IBC, developers can build high-performance solutions that are designed to meet the specific needs of their users. This makes it possible to create fast, efficient, and scalable solutions that can handle the increasing demands of the modern world. Specific Use Cases for Developers Trustless IBC has numerous specific use cases that developers can use to create new and innovative solutions. Developers, for example, can build solutions that enable the transfer of digital assets between blockchains, thereby creating new investment opportunities and opening new markets. Developers can use Telos to create decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, gaming applications, and more. These applications can then be connected to the Telos network, leveraging the benefits of decentralized technology and the ability to transfer data and assets between side chains, without requiring users to trust a third party. Multichain Exchanges / Atomic Swaps Through implementing Telos’ Trustless IBC, both multi-chain exchanges and atomic swaps could gain numerous benefits. For atomic swaps, Telos’ Trustless IBC could provide increased security and reliability, making it easier and more secure to execute swaps across different chains. The trustless nature of the IBC connection reduces the risk of transactions being compromised, and the ability to create use-case specific side chains for added security and efficiency. Telos’ Trustless IBC offers a more flexible and scalable solution for atomic swaps, allowing for easy integration of new chains and assets as the ecosystem evolves. For multi-chain exchanges, Telos’ Trustless IBC offers a more seamless and secure experience for trading digital assets across different blockchains. No longer relying on slow and potentially vulnerable centralized bridges, users can securely and instantly move assets through IBC in a trust-free way without intermediaries, reducing the risk of lost or stolen assets in transit. This provides a more comprehensive and user-friendly platform, while also allowing multi-chain exchanges to add new chains and assets more easily and efficiently, thereby increasing their competitiveness and appeal to users. Trustless Bridges Trustless bridges, such as Telos’ Trustless IBC, offer a major advantage over traditional bridges that require oracles and trusted intermediaries. The trustless nature of the connection between blockchains eliminates the risk of transactions being compromised or tampered with, as there is no need to rely on a trusted third-party to act as an intermediary. Trustless bridges are also faster and more efficient, as they eliminate the need for potentially slow and insecure centralized bridges, and allow for seamless, instant, and secure asset transfer between blockchains. Historically, centralized bridges and oracles have been vulnerable to security breaches, leading to significant losses. Telos’ Trustless IBC solves this problem by eliminating the need for middlemen and providing a secure and trustless connection between blockchain networks. This enhances the security of cross-chain transactions, reducing the risk of assets being lost or stolen. Below you can find a list of historical examples of these security vulnerabilities and the losses. Conclusion Telos’ vision for Trustless IBC is to provide a highly efficient, scalable, decentralized, and secure solution that opens a whole new world of possibilities for developers. With its ability to support multiple side chains, unlimited TPS, and its wide range of use cases, Trustless IBC is set to be a game-changer in the world of blockchain technology. By leveraging this powerful technology built by the UX Network, Telos has the potential to significantly impact the future of decentralized technology.

Sekur Private Data Will Soon Be Launching Its Swiss Hosted SekurVPN For Privacy Enthusiasts

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced they will be providing a private, non-big tech VPN solution. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company with roots in Switzerland that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers, military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company is responding to growing demand from its existing users that have asked the company for a VPN product, and Sekur has been working on a solution for some time. Sekur has acquired all the servers needed for the encryption processing and hosting of SekurVPN in its Swiss data centers. The application for Mac clients and iOS devices is already complete, but the company decided to launch in the first week of April 2023 to include its Android version; Windows will launch shortly thereafter. The company is expected to first launch its website www.sekurvpn.com in the coming weeks. Pricing will be as follows: $7 USD/month per user or $70 USD/year per user. However, Sekur is offering a promotional price to celebrate the launch. The first 5,000 people to register will receive a 60% discount to the yearly price, the total ending up being $28/year per user for the first two years. SekurVPN was designed to help users wanting to mask their IP addresses from hackers. One example of the VPN solution in action would be a user being able to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking location information when a user logs into their bank or email. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We have listened to our customers and are very excited to announce the launch of SekurVPN for late March 2023. We have high hopes for the success of SekurVPN, due to its highly private nature, since it does not use any big-tech computing or hosting and offers only Swiss IPs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers." Sekur is a closed-loop platform with layers of security and SekurVPN is an extension of its commitment to privacy. Its existing corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer users complete privacy because its code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks, and its Swiss hosting protects its users from privacy intrusive laws. With increasing breaches in security and data hacks, security and privacy are at the forefront of everyone’s mind – both corporations and individuals – and Sekur is committed to helping protect both.

The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools.

ZeroBounce CEO on Email Validation, Landing in the Inbox and Boosting Email ROI

ZeroBounce

Email marketing is effective – but you have to reach your customers’ inboxes. ZeroBounce Founder and CEO Liviu Tanase talks to Benzinga about email validation and how it helps boost email ROI. It’s hard to imagine doing business without email. From sending transactional emails to newsletters and marketing campaigns, email allows you to connect with your audience on a deeper level. However, connecting with your prospects isn’t as easy as pressing Send. Billions of emails bounce or land in spam – every day. In this interview with Benzinga, ZeroBounce Founder and CEO Liviu Tanase sheds light on the culprits and offers simple, useful tips to help you: Make the most of email validation and its benefits Optimize your campaigns so they can arrive in the inbox Convert your prospects and increase email ROI. How do you see email evolving in 2023? Email will continue to grow and be a key channel for brands to connect with their customers and prospects. The number of email users keeps increasing every year. More than half of the world population uses email in 2023, so we’ll see more companies tapping into its potential. We saw this in 2020, too. In times of economic uncertainty, businesses must focus on the channels that yield palpable results – and email is at the top of the list. What puts email at the top of the list – and how can we make it work? Email is a more personal channel than any other. Think about it: you’re reaching out to a prospect in their inbox, which is like an online home for most people. It’s where they get their most important messages. There’s less noise than on social media, so it allows for more intimate conversations. To make it work, you must show up where those prospects can see you – in the inbox. This is one of the greatest challenges businesses are facing right now. Hitting Send on an email is just the first step. Getting in the inbox is another story. What prevents senders from reaching the inbox? In a nutshell, a poor sender reputation. Much like your reputation at work, your sender reputation lets Internet service providers (ISPs) gauge how legitimate you and your emails are. If your IP or domain are associated with spam-like behavior, your chances of landing in the inbox are slim. Your emails may not even make it to the junk folder, you’ll get blocked altogether. How does ZeroBounce help with that? ZeroBounce gives you more confidence to send emails. The email validator is 99 percent accurate and scrubs your email list of bounces and other risky email contacts. Aside from that, we’ve built an entire suite of email deliverability tools so you can test your emails before you send and be sure they’re going to the inbox. Showing up there is the only way to connect with your prospects and see a boost in your conversions. If you were to suggest one crucial step to improve email deliverability, what would it be? Start with checking your email list. When your bounce rate is over 2 percent, when you get spam complaints or your emails are hitting spam traps, your sender score plummets. So, before you invest in creating impressive emails, verify your email list so those emails can reach your audience. We’ve seen the recent JPMorgan - Frank disaster, where JPMorgan purchased educational startup Frank for $175M. Frank’s founders claimed the app had more than four million users. In reality, Frank had only 300,000 users – the rest were fake. JPMorgan only realized the deception when its team sent an email to all alleged Frank users. They got a bounce rate of 72 percent! If only they took the time to validate those contacts, this catastrophe could have been avoided. What other tricks can you share to help marketers and business owners get their emails in the inbox? Once you’ve verified your email list, make it a habit. About a quarter of your email list degrades every year, so check it every few months. Then, look into testing your email deliverability. It takes only minutes to use an inbox tester to see if your email is going to land in the inbox with widely-used providers. If you want to boost your email deliverability even more, take segmentation to the next level. ZeroBounce’s Activity Data tool pinpoints your most active subscribers – people who spend time in their inboxes. It shows you which subscribers have interacted with an email in the past 30 days to a year. Segment those people, then target them with a personalized email campaign. Healthy engagement rates boost your sender reputation and increase your inbox reach. What’s new at ZeroBounce in 2023? Our entire platform is new! After more than a year of work and countless tests, we’ve just relaunched it to give people a better experience. The accuracy of our email validator is now 99 percent. Security is even better as we integrate with Okta for identity protection and we got our SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. The interface has improved, too, and we’re getting great feedback from customers. Also, a new tool is coming soon. It’s something our customers have been asking for – and we’re almost ready to share it with everybody. For people in sales, PR, real estate or any other industry that revolves around cold emailing, it will be a huge help. Are you not getting the results you want from your email campaigns? Sign up for a ZeroBounce account and check 100 email addresses free, every month. Remove bad emails, improve your sender reputation and boost your email ROI right away. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. ZeroBounce is an award-winning email verification and deliverability platform helping 200,000+ customers land more emails in the inbox. The service removes email typos, nonexistent and abuse email accounts, spam traps and other risky email addresses. ZeroBounce’s email deliverability toolkit further supports the safe inbox delivery of transactional and marketing emails. The company operates a military-grade security infrastructure. ZeroBounce has validated more than 18 billion emails. Some of the companies it serves are Amazon, Disney, Netflix, LinkedIn, and Sephora. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Chairman & CEO Joshua Sodaitis Announces Annual Letter to Shareholders

Peer to Peer Network

McapMediaWire -- Peer To Peer Network a.k.a MobiCard Inc. (OTC: PTOP ) today released the following annual letter to shareholders: Dear Fellow Shareholders: Each year, I make it a priority to write to you on behalf of PTOP. I believe that a clear and concise strategy outlined at the beginning of the year helps keep the company focused on the strategic objectives that we aim to achieve. Although I know that each of you has different priorities, we all want the same thing, the value of growth and the company to succeed in our goals. In the year 2022, we faced challenges at every turn: a lingering pandemic, unprecedented government actions, a highly polarized congressional U.S. election, mounting inflation, a war in Ukraine, and a dramatic economic funding shortage that short-changed PTOP. We lost a member of our advisory board who decided to be involved in negotiating the MOBICARD™ 2.0 tech contract and then disappeared after having promised to pay for the contract. We hope he is okay and will return for the new year. Adding to the disruption, these events were unfolding while we learned that DWAC eligibility would not automatically make PTOP shares accepted for transfers to existing brokerage firms. Ultimately, we could only afford half of the strategic objectives we had laid out for the year 2022. Since I have been CEO dating back to 2018… 2022 was the 1 st year in which I was not able to knock down all of the strategic objectives I had laid out in my annual letter at the beginning of that year. But during this difficult time, we have a moment to put aside our differences, offer solutions and work with shareholders who may not have been as active previously. In the year 2023, we have an opportunity to come together in defense of PTOP & MOBICARD™ 2.0’s future. We have seen in many years prior that the shareholders of PTOP have come together previously during instances of conflict and crisis. I am optimistic that we can reengage with previously disgruntled shareholders, & long-lost advisors, for all of our interests collectively. This juncture is also a moment when our company needs to work together to achieve the mutually beneficial strategic objectives, I laid out ahead for the year 2023. Although I began this annual letter to shareholders in reflection of 2022’s challenging landscape, I remain proud of what our company, our employees, & 1099 independent contractors have achieved, collectively and individually. As you know, I have long championed the essential role of transparency, and honesty in our community — MOBICARD™ 2.0 has the potential for bringing people together, enabling companies and individuals to reach for their dreams, and being a source of strength in entrepreneurism. Throughout this past challenging year, we never stopped doing all the things we should be doing to serve our shareholders and remain true to our transparent financial reporting requirements. Looking back on the last year and the past 4 years — starting from my time as CEO in late 2018 — it is clear that my financial discipline, constant investment in innovation, and ongoing development to better the company, is what enabled us to persevere in our steadfast dedication to help shareholders and maintain our financial reporting requirements. I’d like to note some steadfast principles that are worth repeating. The first is that our management team goes to work every day recognizing the enormous responsibility that we have to our shareholders. Maintaining our ability to be listed on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets is the top priority. Second, while I don’t run the company worrying about the stock price in the short run, in the long run, our stock price is a measure of the progress we have made over the years. This progress is a function of continual investments in our people, systems, and product, in good and bad times, to build our capabilities. Whether looking back to 2017 when I first got on the board and the stock was at $0.0001 per share, or in the years since, Peer To Peer Network’s shareholders' investments have resulted in our stock’s significant improvement. These important investments that many of you will make directly into PTOP in the weeks and months to come will also drive our company’s future prospects and position it to grow and prosper. I have no doubt in my mind that 2023 will see the release of MOBICARD™ 2.0 and its debut will lead to significant improvement in the appreciation of our stock price, and of the value of the company overall. In 2022 we announced the Kick-off of a complete front-end overhaul. We completed that goal. We also announced a complete redesign that would include improvements to our web apps, and mobile apps, and make MOBICARD™ easier to understand, faster to use, and add additional functionality. We were calling it MOBICARD™2.0. We are $30,000 short of having MOBICARD™ 2.0 completed. That is why I am discussing with our tech team the idea of perhaps releasing MOBICARD™2.0 in stages. This will allow the app to be out and gathering users while we push out updates to add the other additional functionality and features. This will be a big decision for 2023 that will greatly depend on the capital available to the company come to the end of February. We have consistently described to you, our shareholders, the basic principles, and strategies we use to build this company — from maintaining a fortress balance sheet, constantly satisfying regulators, continually improving risk governance and controls, and serving shareholders. We are proud to announce that our Q1 financials will be completed soon, and we will continue to clear debt off of our books, while not accepting any form whatsoever of any toxic debt. In 2022 we applied and were approved for DWAC eligibility. In 2023 we plan to hold a majority vote to effectuate key corporate actions with FINRA that will better suit the company and enable further investment from existing shareholders. Namely a restructure. I hope to conclude this vote in the next week and will make an announcement accordingly. In 2023 we plan to file a form C with the SEC. This will enable Reg CF or Crowd Funding. This will enable PTOP to seek the much-needed funding to achieve strategic objectives. Crowd Funding allows for an unlimited number of unaccredited investors and also allows for PTOP to advertise and promote the purchase of our stock directly through the company on social media and online. We plan to work with a specialty company that will host it on their site as well as promotes us to a list of their investors. In 2023 we need to complete a PCAOB compliant audit in order to clear both the Reg CF and in our opinion the corporate actions/ restructure. If PTOP is able to obtain the funding necessary to complete these objectives, our stock should be well over a penny and there most likely will be an entirely new shareholder base interested in our company right in time for our MOBICARD™2.0 apps to drop. We also plan to file an entirely new patent based on our MOBICARD™2.0 solutions. This should build momentum. The plan is for 2023 is simple. Make a press release after the following completed strategic objectives: Complete a Majority Vote Engage a Crowd Funding Company Engage & Fund an Auditor Pay our Tech Team to get out Mobicard™2.0 into the stores Complete the PCAOB audit File with FINRA for a stock re-structure File form C with the S.E.C. for a Reg CF = Crowd Funding / Get approved Engage with Investors Hub (Home Take over Page placed adds) Release Mobicard™ 2.0 Promote User Growth through a well-funded PR & Marketing campaign. If you look deeper, you will find that PTOP’s success and accomplishments are founded on our commitment to EACH-OTHER. Shareholder value can be built only if you maintain a healthy and vibrant company, which means doing a good job taking care of funding requirements, employees, and shareholder interests. Conversely, how can you have a healthy company if you neglect any of these stakeholders? As we have learned in 2022, there are myriad of ways that each stakeholder is dependent on the other. Adhering to our basic principles and strategies allows us to drive forward, and properly manage our capital, as we have consistently demonstrated over the past year. Finally, the basis of our success is our people. Our shareholders and new prospective shareholders that pay to build the company and maintain the regulatory requirements, PTOP’s CEO who makes the strategic decisions, manages the risks, determines our spending priorities. Whatever your view is of PTOP’s complexity and the risks and opportunities ahead, having a great team of people — with guts, brains, integrity, and an enormous capability to navigate personally challenging circumstances while maintaining high standards of professional excellence — is what ensures our prosperity, now and in the future. If I can round up the $150,000 necessary to move the company forward in the next two months we will clear more than half the list within 6 months. We will all be able to experience the BEST year PTOP has ever had! I plan to answer a bunch of shareholder questions on the PTOP message boards on Thursday so I encourage anyone with any comments questions, or concerns to reach out at www.ptopnetwork.com Just think about where the stock can go if we knock down the objectives I have outlined. It will come down to funding to get those initiatives accomplished. together we can make this by far the best year ever.

InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND) Featured in Official 2023 Super Bowl LVII Game Program

Innerscope Hearing Technologies, Inc.

2023 Official NFL Super Bowl LVII Game Program 1 Million Hard Copies 50 Million Unique Visitors - Digital Edition 500 Million Page Views - Digital Edition McapMediaWire -- InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND ) ("InnerScope"), an emerging and disruptive leader in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid space today announced its print ad campaign "Hearing Made Easy" is featured in the Official Super Bowl LVII (57) Game Program. Super Bowl LVII is a showdown between the AFC Champions, Philadelphia Eagles, and the NFC Champions, Kansas City Chiefs. The kickoff is this Sunday, February 12th, at 6:30 pm EST, with Chris Stapleton singing the National Anthem and international icon Rihanna taking center stage for Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The Official NFL Super Bowl LVII Commemorative Souvenir Game Program features InnerScope's print ad campaign strategically placed on page 229 opposite a full editorial that recaps the first four weeks of the Philadelphia Eagles regular season. The print ad campaign highlights a message of "Hearing Made Easy" – No Prescription Needed – No Medical Exam Needed with InnerScope's iHEAR and HearingAssist brand of Medical-Grade FDA-registered OTC rechargeable hearing aids starting at $499 a pair. The ad also includes a list of selected in-store and online major retailers where iHEAR and/or HearingAssist OTC hearing aids can be purchased, including Walmart Vision Centers, Walmart.com CVS.com, Bestbuy.com, RiteAid, RiteAid.com or directly from iHEARdirect.com or HearingAssist.com. NFL Super Bowl LVII Game Program will be made available to the fans during the game with exclusive distribution rights inside State Farm Stadium on Sunday, February 12, 2023. In addition, the publication will be made available for purchase nationwide at major newsstands, bookstores, hotels, mass and specialty stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, international airports, and online at NFLShop.com at a cover cost of $20 with a circulation of nearly 1,000,000 hard copies with 100% sell-thru and a pass along the value of approximately 5,000,000 (5 readers per copy).

Also, in addition to the activation on NFL.com, All-Star Players and Media Personalities, with nearly 14 million combined opt-in followers, have agreed to share the publication over social media with their respective followers. FDA Ruling On OTC Hearing Aids Is A Game Changer For InnerScope An "FDA Ruling on OTC Hearing Aids went into effect on October 17, 2022, allowing millions of Americans with hearing loss to purchase hearing aids without a prescription, medical exam, or needing a professional to fit the hearing aids. But until the FDA ruling, getting hearing aids required a medical exam, prescription, and fitting done by an audiologist. In addition, the cost of professionally fitted hearing aids averages over $5,000 out-of-pocket costs for a pair because Medicare or private insurance plans don't typically cover the devices. However, FDA has established that OTC hearing aids are safe and effective for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and are regulated as medical devices by FDA. In addition, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, as many as 30 million adults in the United States currently have some degree of hearing loss and would benefit from using hearing aids. The FDA ruling was a game changer for InnerScope since its iHEAR, and HearingAssist brands of OTC hearing aids have the same type of technology and features as hearing aids sold and fit by hearing healthcare professionals at an average saving of $3,000 to $4,000 per pair. Additionally, InnerScope's iHEAR and HearingAssist OTC hearing aids are designed for consumers with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss with many different models that feature Bluetooth App-Controlled and Full-Streaming for Hands-Free Phone Calling and Listening to Music and/or Podcasts. "We are proud to have our "Hearing Made Easy" ad campaign featured in the Official NFL Super Bowl LVII Commemorative Souvenir Game Program, said Matthew Moore, President and CEO of InnerScope Hearing Technologies. "Forbes has listed the Super Bowl as "the world's most valuable sporting event brand. The Official Super Bowl LVII Game Program is simply the most valuable, content-rich magazine in all sports. In addition, we believe InnerScope's iHEAR and HearingAssist OTC Hearing Aid brands associated with the Super Bowl brand and our "Hearing Made Easy" campaign print ad will provide awareness to millions of people that need hearing aids but, up until now, could never afford them."
