Can someone in the know explain the difference between Blocknet and SuperNet?

It is very encouraging to see BitNation selecting BlockNet as a partner over SuperNet, but it would be great to understand why.

Thanks,

G.

You're making the assumption that BitNation 'selected' blocknet.
I don't think SuperNet opened its doors to BN. SuperNet is very picky and focused on its trajectory.

Regardless of SuperNET's choices (of which I'm completely unaware), Bitnation considered a very wide range of technologies (and the people developing them) before choosing the Blocknet and Horizon. Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof is especially well connected.

Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof is a conflict zone entrepreneur who has assisted with building and overthrowing governments across the world. Most recently, Ms Tarkowski Tempelhof set up the research and communication firm SHABAKAT Corporation on the ground in Benghazi, Libya during the civil war. She then expanded the company to Egypt and oversaw operations in Ghana and Yemen. Prior to this, Ms. Tarkowski Tempelhof set up Wise Strategic Communication (WSC) in Kabul, Afghanistan, acquiring contracts for a value of more than 7.4 million USD within the first two years of operations. She recruited, trained, and managed more than 300 personnel and eventually sold the company to IDS International. Based in Afghanistan from early 2006, Ms. Tarkowski Tempelhof worked with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Psychological Operations (PSYOP) programs, covering the areas of counterterrorism, elections, and rule of law, as well as campaigns to strengthen the Afghan government, police force and military.

Ms. Tarkowski Tempelhof is a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), an associate of European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), and provides political commentary and analysis for U.S. and Swedish media. She has been featured in The New York Times, Foreign Policy, and The Huffington Post, and is a regular speaker at U.S. military, NATO, TEDx, and corporate communication conferences around the world.

i dont think it will take long for the first people to dig out information about her past, but it seems she did a lot of work for intellegence and defense agencies.

Yes she did. That information is public.

Look her up. Susanne's had a fascinating life. Personally I can't think of a better-suited leader for a movement like Bitnation.
