Q&A #1

in #facerecognition7 years ago (edited)

Hi Everyone!
We have some popular questions that have received in the previous few months. Most likely, many of you are also interested in the information required for other community members. Therefore, we decided to share with you some answers to the most interesting questions.



Let’s go!

1. Why tokens can not be sent back, if I send them to the token contract address? ( How is the token contract address used?)
FACE Tokens sent to the FACE Token Contract address are non-reversible and cannot be sent back to the sender.

Why this happens:
The token contract (and the token contract address) is the tool for token emission, distribution and track. It is not a wallet address and it can not be used as an address to receive tokens. Once you send tokens to the contract address itself — tokens are stuck there and can not be pulled back.

2. Can you give any comments on GDPR?
We align with the data protection and privacy regulations requirements from the latest legislations and we are going to follow all provisions of the GDPR. Our legal team together with the technical staff are carefully studying the requirements of the GDPR both for Faceter service provision and Faceter website/applications compliance with all the GDPR requirements.

3. Can you give a comprehensive and plain explanation of the last tech update?
Right now we are developing our own software, where “computer vision” will be installed. We are not going to offer services to implement our technologies as it does, for example, IBM. We want to provide the outstanding technology along with the good software and be the first in the market, like, for example, Apple.

Therefore, right now a part of the technical department headed by CTO continues to work on the main project, when another part develops and updates applications for iOS and Android. The article on Medium describes the work of the first part of developers and shows improvements in face recognition made by applying the new algorithm: it means that Faceter developers have improved the recognition methodology and have increased the percentage of successful recognitions. Soon we will also give you some updates on the work of other Faceter developers.

4. Why are people from Faceter team not presented on the website and LinkedIn?
We represent only the key team members on the website. Also, we asked them to update their profiles on LinkedIn too. We do not require this for all other employees. They decide personally either to indicate this information or not. If the team has new faces with high responsibility, we will add them to the website too.

5. Are you still going to use SONM?
Currently, there are no existing decentralised computing solutions with a long-standing reputation that’s why we have nothing to rely on. So, we design Faceter core to be able to run in different environments. The top priority for us is to keep our software as a stand-alone solution and be able to run directly on miner’s machines. However, anyway we stay conformed with our intention to support other networks like SONM or Golem. Their teams may already resolve many challenges in such systems, so consider them as a way of moving faster through our roadmap.

We suppose it is enough for the first time. Leave your questions in the comments, and we will give answers on the most interesting one the next time.

Yours,
Faceter Team
