| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | Very fast platform that guards privacy and is superior secure platform. Open platform to everyone. |
| Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? | Same principles as GDPR states. To protect me from harmful actions against me. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | They will decrypt my encrypted information without any permission from me without my private key. They will decrypt my passwords, my files stored in the cloud service provider, my messages from chat provider etc. In decentralized systems they will need more efforts not only to decrypt, but to do the job to collect my encrypted information from all decentralized points, to merge it into single decryptable thing and then decrypt. Good mixing in decentralized systems can make quantum decryption infeasible. |
You have my support.
GDPR doesn’t protect you (if it did, you wouldn’t be here).
Other than that, the application is fine.
