Hey Mysterium team,

could you give me a short "explain it like I'm five (ELI5)" answer to the following question:

Say, you succeed in getting the VPN system to work and say, you opensource the code (which you'd need to do anyway, I guess). What stops someone else from taking your code, changing the payment and bond methods to ETH instead of MYST and then republishes it? Or, to phrase it a bit differently, what technical advantage does a token approach have over a general currency approach?

Thanks in advance

Hi, nothing stops from forking the code and building their own project. We believe by collaborating together and working on the same privacy issue in open source environment we can reach much more than doing this individually alone, please join our movement and youll see by yourself. Our project has received funding, has a clear whitepaper with milestones and a team of security and privacy experts that has grown strong from 4 to 30 and growing.

In regards to what payment method is the most suitable for Mysterium platform, we strongly believe that our crafted promise based payment approach using MYST token will solve the problem(P2P value transfer without 3rd party involvement). There are other approaches on the market and every approach has its technical challenges and limitations which restricts projects from easily switching between them.
