Neomania,
Seeing as qode.com appears to be the platform NM intends to utilize going forward, we should take time to recall how and why Qode.com came to be with Neomedia:

So you are suggesting I should ask the individuals who have participated in maintaining absolute secrecy for 10 years what their secret information is?
Best,

Completely untrue. However, I will agree that certain (most) of the patents are unimportant to Neom. This is the reason they attempted to sell many of their patents back when Iain was CEO. In June 2016 it came as no surprise (to me) that they (NM) sought to shed more patents.
What you should be questioning, however, is why NM would auction Neom's patents, and pay $3 MILLION in that auction, for patents they already owned via Neom's default? Please provide a specific answer to this question.
Best,
Be Confident
This should have your mind bending a bit:
I mentioned Neo@ogilvy which merged with Mindshare under the auspices of WPP (ENORMOUS advertising conglomerate). We also know Neom carried a close partnership with Microsoft and had previously (prior to the debt being called) rented office space in close proximity to them.
Now have a run at this:

Rocket/Scania,
Perhaps one of you can share an opinion. Until these past few years I do not recall more than two other companies that had incorporated "Neo" into their name. One was Neo@ogilvy (which merged with another entity); the other was a foreign entity with the sole name "Neo Media" and is associated with marketing and advertising.
However, what is the likelihood of encountering the name "Neo" in BLOCKCHAIN? Suddenly, we have THIS:
https://neo.org
...and THIS:
https://neotogas.com (same company as the above link)
...and we even have THIS:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/NEO-NEOUSD-33212/
I am NOT inferring this is part of NeoMedia Technologies. But I am scratching my head. Neo means "new." Perhaps this was merely named Neo because it is nascent technology. My scalp may turn raw from the scratching :-/

Edited to Add:
Tankman,
You are misunderstanding Neom's application, and the content of this patent. It makes zero difference where the code is decoded. It matters whether the code is Direct or Indirect. This patent refers to INDIRECT. This is the monetized application.
And, btw, today's application prefers Indirect codes, in a number of critical circumstances, and for a number of reasons, the greatest of which is SECURITY.
Best,
Be Confident
Let us not forget Neom's patents speak to BLOCKCHAIN A company does not incorporate a new, robust, and highly secure technology into their patent language unless they carried specific intent (JMSO! ). It is highly plausible this had all been part of their master agenda from the beginning. However, we may never know the answer regardless of Neom's future. I can envision this being held confidential indefinitely if it is indeed the case.

I have yet to find any linkage between the two companies (which means absolutely nothing), however, I did uncover THIS:
DNotes Global CEO, Alan Yong Welcomes JPM Coin as a Partial Rail of a Massive Network Essential For Mass Adoption of Digital Currency

https://dcebrief.com/dnotes-global-ceo-alan-yong-welcomes-jpm-coin-as-a-partial-rail-of-a-massive-network-essential-for-mass-adoption-of-digital-currency/
What strikes my fancy is JPM Coin. Some here may recall a project named "CurrentC." Their app had been under relentless attack by, allegedly, Google and Apple employees (per an announcement on their website at the time). These attacks had undermined CurrentC's ability to gain adoption.
It had become my belief that CurrentC's product was utilized by Walmart for their WalmartPay initiative, and that WalmartPay became the Beta for the consortium's testing, and that the app underwent a series of enhancements and upgrades over time as new aspects were added. This is strictly my own view and may be inaccurate, but I feel quite confident in it.
CurrentC had begun laying off employees, and ultimately (here is where we finally arrive at my point!) their CEO left to work with either Walmart or Chase (I no longer recall). So, why should this tug at your britches?...because you may wish to have a run at this:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-09/wal-mart-backed-mobile-wallet-halted-in-favor-of-chase-service

My last post was a cut & paste from their landing page. I find it curious that the landing page references 2016, but the page you posted references 2014! Could two companies have merged?
"The DNotes Vault is a secure online web-based crypto vault for storage of DNotes, operating since December 2014. All funds are held securely in cold storage, and all transactions are signed using an offline process. The Vault has synergies with DNotes, rewarding depositors with interest awarded directly from the DNotes blockchain to encourage security and savings"

Very interesting Scania. Would you have a link to share indicating they are a subsidiary?
As to my reasons for saying, "very interesting:" We know Neom went Dark approximately February 2016, and the debt was called June 2016, therefore I find the following compelling:
DNotes Global, Inc. (“DNotes Global,” or the “Company”) was launched on April 1, 2016 as a for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware that develops DNotes’ global payment network and blockchain application deployment platform. The company also develops and manages a business ecosystem that will support the payment network by offering additional functionality. DNotes Global will serve as the DNotes payment system’s bridge to the existing centralized financial world.
Please Scania, a link indicating YA is their parent would be most helpful

I feel certain he was kidding, which is why I interpreted it the way I did. Scania or Robot may connect it to Bitcoin also since they share a focus on Bitcoin/Blockchain, however, IMSO 1 and 2 share trades carry no linkage to such topic.
The above aside, mobile payment initiatives have been expanding and evolving rapidly across the globe. New apps and iterations are being introduced daily! Exciting times
Best,
Be Confident
Personally, I was under the impression he was referring to the referenced inventor of Bitcoin (who may or may not be the true inventor. No one is certain ).
As for my interpretation of single shares, I had been informed long ago that certain trades by MMs are signals to their counterparts (ie, in need of shares). However, to my recollection they were always in round lots (hundreds of shares).
To me, one or two shares might be a failed attempt at humor, or perhaps a reference to a period of time. We will likely never know.
Nevertheless, I wish our friend who used to periodically buy a few at .001 would pop back up

According to the information on that page it might appear the suits have either been settled or possibly transferred into the name of NM, LLC.
Keep in mind that until such time as Neomedia pays their back taxes and provides its filings to the state of Delaware, they are no longer protected under the laws of Delaware (merely one of the MANY reasons I have attributed to them funneling all assets into the name of NM, LLC! NM, LLC carries legal protection under the laws of Delaware without the need to provide any of the aforementioned...as they continue to await a mature ecosystem ).
ALL of the above is merely one man's opinion

Agreed...the pipe needs to be wide enough to handle the vast increase in data which will burgeon once AR/VR permeate the web. 4G is capable of handling the introductory stage of AR, however, IMSO the average user is unaware of the incredible demand AR and VR will place on the pipe.
Once we have 5G I also anticipate simultaneous Voice and Data, such that ALL voice and data can operate via data only. This may also be what the "audio" advertising application is awaiting prior to launch (merely conjecture, but plausible IMO).

Excerpt:
What does 5G have to do with VR and AR?
Many experts within the industry believe that the arrival of the next generation of mobile network, widely referred to as 5G, will unlock the full potential of VR and AR technology.
As an October 2018 Qualcomm report outlined, both VR and AR require a cheaper, more capacious network with lower latency and more consistency if they’re to continue developing. In other words, they both need 5G.

My view has been that companies go Dark in order to hide something. I tend to believe I understand a portion of the reasoning for their darkness, however, I would not state it on this board. IMSO, they went dark due to the level of importance associated with their activities combined with the timing of the activities. Should it be this important to them (to go Dark), then as a shareholder it becomes equally important to me. I simply hope I am spot on, and that they announce something THIS YEAR.
I feel one thing is certain. I do not anticipate the pps taking flight until advertising apps take off. Once we begin seeing qodes on packaging and AR taking off, that should be a leading indicator for us...JMO. A concern I have is that AR continues to run through iterations as it evolves, and this could potentially delay matters a bit more. Time will tell.
All of the above...merely one man's opinion.

The company went Dark for a reason. Why would a company go Dark a mere 4 or 5 months prior to YA calling in the debt? I continue to remind all iHubbers that Iain McCready's employment agreement while CEO of Neom, had included a specific clause in which he was to receive a commission in the event of a "Change In Control" of the company during his tenure. It has been my personal view that YA's calling of the debt in 2016 was precisely the Change In Control Iain had planned for...JMO.
The question we've needed answered remains the key question at hand...TIMING. And therefore, I state once again (and forever ):
