|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | A decentralized network is a distributed network with the difference that the nodes must be located at large distances from each other and be independent. I want to be part of a decentralized network because I think that it's only due to the absence of centralization cool projects can live and grow. |
| 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. | Excellent level of anonymity, resistance to quantum computing, privacy protection. |

| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I think there is no particular threat, since such a quantum computer will be so expensive that it will simply not be economically efficient. Besides, as a rule, technologies develop in parallel. That is, with the advent of a quantum computer, encryption algorithms will already be resistant to it. |

The other day I decided to find out about the possibility of increasing the network bandwidth for my PC. To my delight, this turned out to be possible, so the data transfer speed will be raised to 500 Mbps (my ISP will prepare and configure the equipment tomorrow to increase the tariff).

Hello comrades! Finally, I changed ISP to “domru.ru” - kazan.domru.ru/internet/mega-xl, increasing the network bandwidth to 500/500. The hardware is unchanged.
