Hi everyone,

My name is Nickolay, I'm from the ThreeFold team.

Let me add some clarifications to the questions raised here.
1. We already have working technology, and any engineer can try it now. We can run any workloads that run on Linux for a fraction of a cost than traditional cloud providers will charge, plus our platform allows developers to create fully autonomous, secure and decentralized applications that provide 100% data ownership to the end-users. All this is possible for new projects that will use all abilities of our tech.
2. The cloud market is growing rapidly and we don't see a need to compete with Amazon, Alibaba, etc at least for the next 3-5 years, as there are big emerging regions in the world that are lacking capacity due to scalability limitations of traditional datacenter providers, like Africa, South America, etc.
3. We could serve as a complementary layer that can run any blockchain network to make them more scalable and secure, due to the autonomous nature of our platform.
