12 witnesses = centralization = not good
Your reputation here is also nonexistent so I doubt anyone cares what you think.
The future decentralization of Byteball remains to be seen. It's not pretending to be anywhere near decentralized yet.
When the witnesses are run by real-world, known identities, we can speculate as to how corruptible they are, or how likely they are to collude.
Same as Ripple.
It seems you are missunderstanding the "reputation" concept with the date of my user sign up or the number of messages of this account. BTW, this is a recently created account because my original one from 2010 was hacked some months ago.
So, next time try to answer with arguments instead of using
ad hominem attacks.
No I'm not misunderstanding anything. If your old account was "hacked" your reputation is even worse -- who are you to talk about network security vv decentralization?
You misunderstand the meaning of ad hominem attacks. I simply stated the apparent truth -- your attack on the fundamentals of Byteball is not likely to be respected because you have no reputation for being knowledgable.
