| Which current Elixxir communities are you a member of? | Telegram, Reddit, Medium, Twitter |
| Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the Elixxir platform? | So I think David as one of the crypto fathers could build new great blockchain platform, it will push the blockchain world to one more step to decentralizing and make information and/or values more transparent an one side and secure and rustable on the other side |

| If yes, how much content on a monthly basis? | |
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | So, in generally distributed networks are the networks which are located in the different locations and this can provide to the system stable work, at the same time decentralized networks are networks which don't have one center of control and its governance is carried out by different levels, points and geographically located endpoints. I think I could be one of the distributed point in the Europe |
| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the Elixxir platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | Elixxir would be speed and private scalable blockchain with hash-based ownership mechanism and its own The Elixxir protocol that based on using various of teams of nodes and has a distributed ledger to achieve to make and support confidential blockchain |
| Privacy by Default is a goal of the Elixxir Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? | Nowadays when all your data is managed by IT giants like Alphabet, Facebook, etc., we can never be calm that our data will be stolen, photos, keys, documents, moneys. It's a quite comfortable to have your data stored in one "secure" place, but it's big mistake, deceptive opinion that our data is in reliable hands, there is still one (or some one) datacentre from where information can be stoled (or used by custodians without permission), so privacy should one of the main things persons will need and ask to the future blockchain leader companies |
