RE: NOIA Network - Decentralized Alternative to Content Delivery
hello friend, I found couple of interesting points that I had not seen in other reviews, the first is that you show that there is no risk of viruses, that point is very important because we are going to install software on our PC, and the second is the ban for some countries for the tesnet, do you know why that happens?
regards
Thanks for reading it! I was most concerned with the protections of this platform as well. Internet security is one of the most important issues, particularly when we share so much information nowadays. Having something like this where we are giving a company access to our computer throughout the day, security is a top priority for me!
I don't know why they do not allow people in certain countries access to the TestNet. I was disappointed since the United States is one of them! I wanted to join. That being said however, @crypto.piotr had contacted NOIA about that and they might make the KYC form optional or eliminate it for the TestNet. I think that making it optional is the ideal route; many people should still fill it out if they live in a region that allows the TestNet but others such as residents of the US and Canada should have it optional. This allows us to participate as well!
In regard to viruses and the content distribution layer: using a blockchain to cryptographically secure essential aspects of information technology is the future. It is counter-intuitive to the way cyber-security exists today. The ground up approach, not so much to security, but to peer-to-peer networking eliminates the conventional methods of a virus attack. Peer-to-peer networks are more like a series of firm handshakes than the grouping of pigs eating out of a Facebook, Google, or Amazon trough that we have today. I have even read about a security specialist stating outright that decentralized cryptographic digital ledgers will put hackers out of business.
