    Need more answers

    If you want to get involved in the network, then now is the time…So please respond

    I want to see more of your involvement and answers to questions

    Data operators should respect persons rights and freedom. It is related to person confidentiality and freedom.

    Quantum computers can break our established crypto algorithms. To defeat centralized system hacker should invade the main server, but to defeat decentralized system hacker should defeat the major part of network nodes. Decentralized systems are more robust for any type of threats.

    Thank you for the update, you have my support.
