| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Distributed networks could have centralized management, like botnets, for example. Decentralized networks are alive organisms. Second part of question is not particularly clear, I'll try to answer my best: I'm interested in the whole rainbow of levels of decentralized systems - from node mining, throw DAps, to markets. It's a new form of people's interaction, and I'm interested to see my children use better technologies. So, making my best I'm learning the rest ) Now I'm going to implement my knowledge into those spheres as wide as I can. |
| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the Elixxir platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | As Telegram differs from SMS, and XOR algorithm differs from PGP i suppose that's the way Elixxir can show difference from other blockchain crypto projects. Time'll show. But the architecture is well. |
| Privacy by Default is a goal of the Elixxir Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? | Because several days before we have got a brand-new face-recognition system, that will work instead of proxy-cards and old-coins and in Moscow Metropolitan. In Saint-Petersburg, in the old historical city of my birth, we have about 50 face-recognition cameras in in every metro station and on every cross of big central street. In our country they are trying to implement DPA firewalls widely, so I believe in ipv6 and human minds and "organic" privacy and security, that of course, can be reached architecturally! |
