What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? The central systems are served by a small number of people. Decentralized systems - supported by a large number of independent people from different parts of the world. A decentralized system is more resistant to DDoS attacks, network or hardware failures, and the security of the system's coins.
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. Any blockchain solves certain tasks assigned to it, which are reflected in white paper. Time will tell
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? Being able to independently manage your money anywhere in the world without worrying about centralized government control is the key to peace and stability. Such an opportunity can be provided thanks to stable and secure blockchains.
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? The quantum computer is still something unattainable and frightening for people. Its effectiveness has not yet been accurately measured from a practical point of view. Therefore, there is nothing to fear yet. When it appears, we will be able to raise nodes on the same quantum computers.
