What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Nowadays, decentralized networks are getting more and more popular. So I am more familiar with them. They are attractive to me because of their openness and accessibility. |
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. | The xx Network platform is designed to prevent any kind of leakage of user data. It is absolute protection and privacy, and also an essential step towards the creation of a new internet. |
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 by default will give new life to the internet, I am sure. We are now seeing a crisis of trust because of networks that have put users' data at risk. How can you use a platform that you don't trust? You can't. These transformations that David Chaum and others are talking about can restore that trust. |
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I think I need to gain more knowledge in this field to answer this question. So far, I only have a hunch that such a danger exists, as scientists talk about the incredibly high computing power of quantum computers. |
