[email protected] <[email protected]» It's hard to =ell w/o proper code/documentation (couldn't find much online). In =eneral the four things are: 1) the devil is in the details, meaning =hat even if in theory it's all solid the implementation might have =ugs. There's no definitive technical solution for that =hough 2) =nything that is "custom" (eg: they have a custom wifi protocol) is a =ed flag because it means that it hasn't been properly vetted and might =e broken/buggy 3) there aren't enough details online to tell but it seems to =e that to speed up the blockchain verification they partially =entralize the network by using their own "supernodes" (essentially the =allets talk to the supernodes vs the actual blockchain). The security =f those servers seems key to me and they gloss over it online 4) the mesh network =mplementation is completely up in the air (judging from what's public) =nd it could go horribly wrong. So that needs further =erification Also (5), in general the disadvantage of distributed /open =hings is that it is a lot easier to steal money vs a closed network =like swift). Are you looking to invest into this thing? If so , I'd =uggest a few things: A) because problem (1) above is not completely =olvable, they need to have a plan. Part of it is technical (do =ontinuous code auditing, pentesting, on board proper crypto people, =tc), the other part is legal/financial and pr. Specifically they should =ave some kind of insurance and they should have a pr disaster recovery =Ian. A big disadvantage of decentralized system is that you don't have =nybody to trust and you don't have a closed network that can make =tealing money hard, they need to address that B) realistically nobody =s going to attack them until they become significant enough from a =inancial standpoint. This gives them time to work on A. That said they =hould avoid making enemies (the "disgruntled" hacker =ype) Hope=this is useful, if you get more stuff from them I'm happy to look into =t more. Also if you do invest I can help them with (A) if =eeded. It's a very dumb platitude but "security is a process" is =rue. 2 EFTA_R1_01381985 EFTA02374746 Unrelated: checkout edge.org <http://edge.orgh , I think you'll like =t.
