Probably see the Quarterly in a few days if they follow their typical pattern.
NT 10-Q filed yesterday

It's another potential source, that nFusz has recommended we use. That's all
Have you asked Valter Pinto?
Part of Rory's remuneration package
Without seeing his contract, it's probably an annual allocation and not an action taken by Rory himself. It is a new year after all.
Keep in mind, companies typically hire advertising companies to create their branding, and as part of that all public communications must comply in every detail, to the brand specifications. Additionally, they often turn over ALL marketing to an advertiser. So the idea would generally need to be forwarded to the advertising/marketing firm and accepted ahead of that firm's own ideas. This dramatically reduces the possibility of a customer marketing recommendation from ever happening. Marketers tend to lose value/credibility/viability when they crowd source their flagship offerings.
I just received a response from Valter.
I asked about 30-40 questions.
There were 3 strong themes in his responses
1. Cannot Comment. We have not disclosed this information.
2. The value lies in the underlying technology. There are many applications but that is what investors should be focused on.
3. Our intention is to uplist the Company onto the Nasdaq.
3b. After up-listing, the audience that we can socialize with expands dramatically. Analysts can write research, brokers can solicit to clients and a larger amount of institutions can invest, amongst other important capital markets benefits.
NotifiTagg makes sense, a free app for personal use, to flood the world with interactivity acceptance/expectation. Make it a social norm. When was the last time you met someone without an email address, FB account, or smartphone. FREE Adobe PDF reader cemented Adobe as the leader in universal document distribution.
Make Interactive video expected rather than the exception.
Consider another scenario. Say an R/S is announced, for the next 20 days carefully timed pending contracts are signed/activated, PRs released, the price rises significantly, organically, then an R/S is executed bringing the stock price far above $5. Then uplist, which could mean incoming buyers, offsetting the dilluation of the new shares added to buy SC, and perhaps driving the price up beyond that, especially as interest and market share are pushed forward. Sorry, daydreaming.
Not at all, There's so much more under the hood.
Ted, I recall weighing in on that a bit too, or maybe it was just in my head....;)
Regardless, I too have written A LOT of code in over 35 years of working on computers. One of the things I've learned is that the amount of code required to execute most functions is only a line or two long, HOWEVER the amount of code to handle all the error correction, navigation, and formatting of the data to submit correctly to those couple lines can be profoundly greater.
So if you leave out all of the analytics, and error handling, 1000 lines of code to just add a URL to a video would be on the high side. I had no problem in your claim. I think it may have even been me that mentioned, I would have assumed the preponderance of their code was handling the DB transactions, analytics, error correction, communications, logging, performance data, security, etc.
I have not heard from Valter yet, but I thought I'd share some of the questions I have for him so far.
1. Have there been any buyout offers?
2. Have there been any partners wanting to invest? Who? Non-Partners?
3. Who are the closest competitors?
4. Why so many missed promises and over hyped events? (V3, NotifiMed, Partners are buying when only 8K, rewarding holiday season)
5. Thoughts on why Utica Zoo was such a flop?
6. Any PRs on real revenue?
7. Which product has shown the most promise?
8. Other Acquisitions? Funding? Dilution?
9. How many patents?
10. Other products? Profit centers? or is that S.C. only?
11. Roadmap? Most IR focus is on shareholder value/uplist, rather than product value and sustainable revenue stream. What happens AFTER uplist?
12. What happens if Uplist fails?
13. What happens when the bridge loan comes due, especially if no uplist?
14. What amount of the S.C. user base growth is directly credited to nFusz Notifi? What percentage of revenue? How much of that has been billable by nFusz?
15. Which direction has the money been moving with each of the big companies nFusz is presently engaged? Is nFusz simply spending time and money trying to massage potential contracts, or are they in the black?
16. What is the projected profit margin on the Notifi products? When is the ROI recovery projected?
Ted your questioning has real merit. The reality of very large companies is that they are almost NEVER homogenous internally. They are fragmented with thousands of smaller groups internally, quite often unaware of what all others are doing. So one, or a small number of users can get a demo of some vendor's product and since the contact info has Employee@BigCompanyEmailAddress.com sales people on the other end can become over zealous about the prospect. I know this from personal experience, as the guy demoing software. Next thing I'd know, they want send a request to use the company name and logo as a client, and I hadn't even submitted a P.O. for a single user license! You have to measure and understand context to get a glimpse into how this will impact the bottom line.
In the case of nFusz hanging with Netsuite in the VIP box. There's a whole list of ways that could happen that mean nothing but expense to the bottom line of nFusz, so assuming we now have a conveyor belt from their multibillion dollar bank account comes from lacking context, and making assumptions, based on intentional implications by the CEO. It may well be, that the implications existed due to not being able to speak about it forthrightly, only time(and PRs/Filings) will expose the truth of it all. I, for one, am glad you are pragmatic in your exploration. I went back several months worth of posts here last night and felt a little embarrassed by some of my own previous optimism and speculation, yet that is all we can do. Remember NotifiNovember? NotifiOctober? Remember the video interview, that was supposed to be "THE BIG NEWS"? It went the entire year. I know there are reasons for it, but keeping your head grounded, is a solid plan.
my GUESS, is that there wasn't sufficient publicity, for whatever reason(s). Neither for the original video on their own website, nor for the nFusz version. If you get it out there to enough people, and as long as the response factor is greater than Zero, donations would be coming in.
Utica Zoo/nFusz facts:
The GoFundMe account for the Utica Zoo is now $2,682 of $75,000 goal.
I believe it was at about $2,300 - $2,400 when nFusz put out the video. (Just going from memory)

I'll be very interested to see how it goes with KCSA, since I have tried to contact them for months via phone and email for another stock I have invested in and not once have they responded. I have also contacted them about nFusz, and again....crickets. Yes I have filled out the form. If anyone does hear from them please provide your experience here if you are comfortable.
I emailed Thomas last week and he said he expects to release some news early 2019
I like the sound of your optimism, personally I was thinking a little later in the month, maybe 2-3 weeks in, but any news should be good news from here on out based on the latest CEO report video.
Why do you feel 1/2/2019 is of particular importance? Hunch or specific reason?
That is the opposite of uncontrollable
Has the Sheriff been working out?
Perfectly stated Ted. Fluff doesn't feed the SP more than one run, and failed promises starve the SP indefinitely, or at least until there is a proven reversal on delivery.
I too have spent most of my life as a workaholic, its one more reason I know Rory should get it. When you are running at max capacity and miss deadlines, you start to figure out that missing a deadline is far more damaging to your reputation than working really long and hard is to build it, and it only takes one time missing a deadline to do years worth of reputation building damage.
I think you nailed it, and some of us longs paid nearly $3 as the price rose, believing the available data. My grandchildren might profit from those stocks in my estate, especially if a RS occurs. On the other hand, if all of the relationships Rory has mentioned turn out to be strong relationships, generating massive revs, no RS will be needed and all long stocks will do just fine. Even the $3 purchases.
HA! I saw that. Set your expectations really low and you'll come away feeling good. GLTY and to all of us longs.
Yes short it all you want, your prerogative, but when the PRs about the finalized contracts are released, it might be YOUR MONEY sitting in MY ACCOUNT.
Yeah the share price sucks, the news of a potential, perhaps probable RS, sucks, no question. I think you are dealing with having your expectations set too high, regardless of how that happened, and now you are recalibrating, I suspect most longs are doing the same. Before I put a substantial amount of money into this stock, I gave serious consideration to how I would deal with losing 100% of that investment, that is what risk tolerance is all about. No one puts money in EXPECTING to actually lose it all, we do it expecting to win more than lose, but that has only happened for flippers in April and shorts. Since I'm in this for the MONEY and the MONEY ALONE, I have certainly had to face that MY investment strategy for FUSZ was leaving a lot of money on the table. I could have also shorted or day traded like so many others and turned immediate gains, but I was concerned that I would wake up one morning and the FUSZ ship had left the harbor without me, so I've held long at great devaluation. Any disappoint I have should be in myself for the strategies I HAVE SELECTED. It's the stock market after all, it gambling, and the odds are NEVER in your favor. For now, I'm staying long on this, as I think there are more than enough reasons to think nFUSZ will not only land on their feet, but may become mainstream. If I don't make the gains I hoped for, perhaps, it was my hope that was faulty. That's the reason when everyone else was shaking their pom poms, I tried to remain grounded in facts, BOTH positive and negative. Biasing you investment with your feelings seldom works out well.
It was only a few months ago you were the one challenging me for looking pragmatically at the facts. When Rory makes statements he doesn't deliver on, everyone is upset, when Rory is instead silent so he doesn't misspeak, everyone is upset. Rory needs to stop holding investor's hands and focus on building a business, we all knew the risks when we invested, time to man up.
Same here. Thomas is always upbeat and quick to respond.
I think the biggest concerns I have with a RS are:
1. Tends to trigger shorting, no worries though for a strong stock.
2. The probability of a $0.25 stock going to $1 is higher than a $10 stock going $40 in the same amount of time, the math is the same, but human psychology is a factor. Volatility is generally greater on lower priced shares, more risk, more reward.
3. Investors that bought in when the stock was much higher, will require MUCH more time(movement really), to recover, if ever.
Conversely,
1. A higher share price on NASDAQ would convert some risk into stability as volatility lessens.
2. If nFusz is able so generate noteworthy revenue or show massive potential and become attractive, there is a profoundly larger bucket of savvy investor money available, to lift the share price, lessening or eliminating the effects of dilution due to issuing additional shares.
Quiet vs. Mistakes
When Rory has spoken, we've witnessed several occasions that he did not/could not deliver on his verbal commitment. Then he goes quiet (perhaps to avoid another overly optimistic undeliverable promise), and we all get upset with the lack of transparency and lack of information. Neither of which have helped the share price.
And that is the 50% excitement I do give them
Dr2marketing using nFusz, great! ....but they are partners, so excitement must be placated with the fact they are doing it not only for lead generation, but because they are supposed to be promoting nFusz technology. For me this only gets 50% excitement. Yes real use, but I consider them as paid to use it.
I keep paying particular attention to the implications of valuation based on the careful wording.
And I don't disagree that is PROBABLY the direction it will move, as you've stated , "could potentially" is exactly what we are muddling through, hence the dramatic volatility.
My only concern about thinking about it this way is assuming everyone that wants brightools will also be willing to buy an nFusz subscription. It could be that no one will care about the additional cost and all 1/2M users pony up, but it would be unrealistic not to consider some won't pay, and some might even leave if the price increased. Only time will tell.
Great reminder, he will tend to his investment. Additionally consider that Rory knew what was in the S-1/A when he tweeted, "seatbelt".
Thanks, appreciated.
