IQST - COVID-19 Recession and Bitcoin Halving Bring Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Back Into Focus
Timing couldn’t have turned out better for Bitcoin’s halving from some points of view. A lot of people are in ‘stay-at-home’ mode, unable to work, reading up on the latest COVID-19 news. Along with the massive coverage COVID-19 has received, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain have also taken some of the limelight as safer havens (cryptocurrency) and the need to keep meticulous, unchangeable records of testing, supply chains and more (blockchain).
The high technology market has drawn intense interest from media companies. StockMarketPress features iQSTEL, Inc. (OTC: IQST) and their recent blockchain node deployment along with IBM (NYSE: IBM), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd (CA: HIVE) (OTC: HVBTF) and Walmart Inc.

iQSTEL (OTC: IQST) Brings 5 Blockchain Nodes Online, Begins Extensive ‘Live’ 24/7 Simulation of Mobile Number Portability Application Ahead of Beta Launch
iQSTEL Inc. (OTC: IQST) is pleased to announce the next phase in the Mobile Number Portability App (MNPA) development is underway.
itsBchain has completed the installation of the MNPA software on 5 blockchain nodes. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, developed by itsBchain, is currently running human behavior simulations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ahead of the Beta release to various Tier-1 (Vodafone, Telefonica, Millicom, etc) and other telco clients.
As noted previously, changing carriers and maintaining the same number is still processed via an archaic ‘days to weeks’ 2-party verification system. itsBchain’s MNPA system will allow for near instant number portability by the client, no longer requiring the telcos to initiate the transfer. According to Statista, the global smartphone user base surpassed the 3 billion mark in Feb of this year with over 500 mobile network operators according to Telecoms Networks.
“itsBchain programmers have seen fantastic results from the ongoing testing feedback. This is a ‘full on’ stress test of the complete system using internally developed AI ‘human behavior’ code,” commented Mr. Iglesias, iQSTEL´s CEO. “Due to Latin America’s accelerated mobile market growth rate, itsBchain is using the Colombian Mobile Telecommunications market as the initial AI systems market simulation.”
