You’re in the fun phase of designing the tech, but that’s not where the problem lies. I don’t trust you at all. You can tell me about the system you’ve designed, but I only have your word that it really works that way. Trust is 90% of your problem, and the tech is only 10%. I can’t think of anything you could write that would change that. I guess I have to trust my bank with my safe deposit box, but there I see keys, sign in sheets, staff that I recognize that are watching each other enter the vault, etc. How will a website mimic that?

I completely understand — building trust is key, and we’re working on adding transparency through decentralization and exploring open-sourcing to give users more control over their data.

How will you prove the decentralization is real and not some BS written by a scammer? How will you prove your app matches the open source to someone that can’t compile it themselves?

honestly don't know yet but we will add way to verify it on chain for sure
