I & @ashleykalila decided a few days ago to simplify ONO's White paper that can help newbies understand this platform better and with ease without going into technicalities. The goal of this post is same, to make things simple for ONO users. I went through the White paper, previous posts shared by Steemians, asked several questions from Ke Xu and came up with these 33 Q&A from page 1 - 25. I will be sharing some more FAQs in the future from the remaining part of White paper. Please leave a comment if you find any mistake or want to add/delete/modify any information, I will do that immediately(If it's in the best interest of ONO platform) without indulging in any argy-bargy.
Since I am not the original creator of this content, all rewards (SBDs + SP) will be transferred to @onosocial.

"Who can delete a user’s content?
Once the content is released, no one can delete it except for the creator or judgment executor has the right to collapse it."
Eh what does a "judgment executor" mean? It sure sounds a lot like censorship... why even put a media on a blockchain if not to resist censorship?
LOL, no, there won't be any media on this platform. I would suggest you to go through their white paper, you will get to know about their philosophy.
Hi @ghulammujtaba, I recently found out about ONO and am learning more about it, it seems like a pretty interesting project. Do you mind if I translate this FAQ into spanish for the hispanic community here on Steemit? I'll make sure to credit you.
Hello Gulam Mujtaba,
Can you please send me your email address or send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks ,
Yeah sure, may I know what it is about?
Good post brother! All possible questions are answered here :) Just one more lol Do you have any plans to get listed on some exchanges?
Well if i we're one of the team i would definitely love to be listed in more exchanges! The more availability of tokens in other exchanges the more ppl would definitely trade them right? thats what i know but lets hope that ono would be listed with more exchanges in the future!
