Hmmmm....VERY interesting concept. Will be watching.
HOWEVER, I will say that it doesn't quite pass the sniff test:
1.) Dream team devs (solid proof?)
2.) Lots of newbie accounts asking "questions" (yes I know how it works)
3.) Its vaporware at this point
Remember folks, usernames are bought and sold.
I will add.....no way in HELL would anyone in their right mind use someone else's WiFi network for their data. That is just ASKING to be hacked. Encrypted or not.
If I am 100% wrong, then this is THE ICO to get into. How can we lose with a team like that?
Please don't take my skepticism for FUD, just trying to help newbies (seems to be alot these days with BTC prices)
Hi w0mp, we appreciate you taking the time to post.
For the dev team, the Hadron logo and link appears at the bottom of both of the websites for our existing businesses and will remain there indefinitely. I'm not sure how much more bulletproof it gets than that. There are also LinkedIn profiles for the founders with over two hundred contacts each, and many of the contacts are from their past work experience. Your question is a good one since this info was buried pages deep and we'll try to do a better job of making it easy to find on the first post.
Newbie questions aren't really something we can control. The only theories I can think of is that we intentionally don't bump our thread, so only enthusiastic new users willing to wade pages deep can find us. We also announced at the beginning of the long weekend and perhaps full members were not browsing as much. Either way, please don't hold this one against us.
Regarding vaporware, we agree this is a legitimate concern for nearly all projects, and we are releasing a substantial stash of our native mobile code and contract code on GitHub in the coming weeks as they exit security and internal reviews. This is noted on the first post (which, admittedly, is rather long), and we look forward to your continued involvement once we open the code repository.
For Wi-Fi security, we are not allowing people to connect openly to a provider's hotspot. They connect via the Hadron app, and the connection between them is encrypted so that the Hadron provider is unable to view the sent data. Furthermore, the Hadron architects have already anticipated attack vectors along this line and connections can be further protected using the Hadron Encryption Proxy/Relay provider service described in the whitepaper; even if the Hadron provider is a hacker, the customer's data will still be encrypted long after it leaves the hacker's hands. In reality, a Hadron Encryption Proxy/Relay connection on Hadron should be far more secure than any normal connection you can find, including at your home (Wi-Fi router firmware, for example, has been shown to be hackable for nearly every manufacturer; Google for "wifi brands hacked").
Encryption is the technology that makes Internet commerce possible. Banks rely on it, businesses rely on it, and all cryptocurrencies rely on it. If it couldn't be trusted, Bitcoin would have collapsed long ago. I think nearly everyone here agrees that modern encryption, properly implemented, is one of the few things we can count on, at least until high-powered quantum computers are available (see our whitepaper, p9).
Our original post is less than a week old, but we are profoundly appreciative of the feedback we've already received from the community. As we've said before, the community is what makes cryptocurrencies work.
Can we get more info about the devs? Who are they?
