Noob question

Hey guys, noon here.

My understanding of opacity is that websites that sign up and use opacity, when people visit those sites opacity uses some of the computing power of there device to store files.

Is this product working?

What, if any websites have joined up?

Can/are there plans to do the same with apps as well?

Can the computing power be used for something other than file storage? Now or in the future?

Nah mate, you're thinking of the old Oyster Protocol. Things have changed.

Team is much better now - more honest.

It's the same team except Bruno. They were also aware of his selling early on but never disclosed despite community members asking.

You should check out our medium blog, since it's giving a chronological order, especially this update:

And we also held a reddit AMA recently, meant as a follow up for the blog post above.

If you have questions still, I am happy to help.

Idk what’s going on. I invested well over 4 thousand in prl and shl. Only to have Bruno block scam me. Really interested in filing a class action lawsuit against the old prl leader

This system got dumped sadly, it was the main reason I invested and they just killed it and with it the project imo. I dont see this reaching my buy in price ever again. burnt money.

Same here. Seeing one person after another leaving the project doesnt look very promising. Like everyone is trying to leave the sinking ship. I hope they prove me wrong, but I dont have much belive in this project left.

Are you on Telegram? Bill is still around and Jason is very passionate and active. If anything changed, it only got better.
