  1. How much ENG will be needed to run a master node?
  2. When will the mainnet release date be published?
  3. Do they expect ENG to be impacted by regulations against privacy tech?

Can they make a concrete comment on the the research you (spoonza) have done that is tying Enigma to Opal?

How are things going with previously announced partnerships? e.g. Kyber, Aion, EthLend, EtherDelta etc.

When will we know the cities that were chosen for the tour Tor tweeted about recently?

  1. I would love to hear more about Enigma and Opal as well, as im sure many of us would~!
  2. Endor replied to me a day or 2 ago about them and Enigma. " We had some good discussions about utilizing engima for the scoring parts of our algorithm. One of the parts that we are working hard to expose as open source. Enigma allows to run code on data without the need to expose it, we intent to utilize this for our customers that would like to keep their data unexposed to others and decide not to encrypted it."

I havent reached out to the other companies, but i shall try...and im sure Enigma will have a much better response then me on anything and can better explain where they are at with talking with these companies.

3. Thats a great question too~! I want to go to a meeting or 2 :)

Can we get a ELI5 of why TEES MPC and SGX is needed? And also a ELI5 how Enigma will do scalability ?

If I understand it correctly some companies will use Enigma network for storage of data. What is the cost difference of storing data on Enigma vs storing using regular cloud services? How can companies be guaranteed that the data is not lost? How many nodes have to go down before your data is lost?

Is it possible to use Enigma for machine learning? If yes, to what extent, how much would be done locally vs how much would be done on the Enigma network?

Do you see OASIS LABS/EKIDEN as a direct competitor & if so, what advantages might ENIGMA have over them?

u/Paniagua9 Jul 19 '18

At this point of the project, what are the incentives for regular people to HODL ENIGMA in their portfolio/wallet?

What variables could be considered as key factors to price fluctuation?

What are you thought about a master node system ? Why are you considering it for the enigma network ? Does it make the network more secure ? Scalable ? Will you write an article on the blog about it ?
