|
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | While in a distributed network consensus is not managed by a single entity as opposed to a centralized network, it still has consensus managing hubs that can be potential points of failure. In a decentralized network every node is equal and independent and consensus is managed by peers. I tend to lean towards decentralization, despite the inherent challenges I think it's always an option worth pursuing. |
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. | To the best of my knowledge, the xx network platform will offer greater privacy and greater security than possibly any other blockchain solution currently available. |
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? | Privacy is a protection to the individual and its freedom, it is a basic right and should be preserved at all costs. In a world where this notion is being forgotten and personal data is used as a manipulation tool and as merchandise, Privacy by Default is of utmost importance in order to preserve those rights and prevent abuse of power. |
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers pose a threat to cybersecurity in general, although we are safe in an immediate future, the potentiality of this technology is overwhelming. Therefore quantum security is a topic that should be addressed as soon as possible in order to stay ahead of the threat, and fight the problem before it hits us. |
You have my support.
