|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | In a decentralized network, each node is completely independent and can communicate with other nodes to perform a specific task. Such networks are usually peer-to-peer, i.e. nodes are not only servers, but they can also be clients. A distributed network is a network in which nodes can be managed from multiple local centres. I prefer decentralization. |
| 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. | xx Network is first and foremost about security. The security of correspondence and any other transmitted information and data. Security of information and data that you don't intend to pass on to someone else but may need to prove your identity. |
| 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? | A lot of corporations make money on the problem of data leakage, which is why we still do not have basic privacy. For the same reason we deserve it more than ever. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I do not see any serious danger today or even in five years' time. However, we should still be vigilant of all news that relates to this development. |
