ONO - Frequently Asked Questions - Page 1 - 25
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.
