There's no definitive technical soluti=n for that though 2) anything that is "=custom" (eg: they have a custom wifi protocol) is a red flag because =t means that it hasn't been properly vetted and might be broken/buggy=C2* 3) there aren't enough details online t= tell but it seems to me that to speed up the blockchain verification they=partially centralize the network by using their own "supernodes"=(essentially the wallets talk to the supernodes vs the actual blockchain).=The security of those servers seems key to me and they gloss over it onlin= 4) the mesh network implementation is completely=up in the air (judging from what's public) and it could go horribly wr=ng. So that needs further verification Also=(5), in general the disadvantage of distributed /open things 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 suggest a few things: A) because problem =1) above is not completely solvable, they need to have a plan. Part =f it is technical (do continuous code auditing, pentesting, on board prope= crypto people, etc), the other part is legal/financial and pr. Specifical=y they should have some kind of insurance and they should have a pr disast=r recovery plan. A big disadvantage of decentralized system is that you do='t have anybody to trust and you don't have a closed network that =an make stealing money hard, they need to address that B) re
