 ===== Problem =====
-Blockchain technology has become widely accepted as a viable solution to providing anonymity, creating new currencies, introducing solutions to fair trade, improving security measures to combat the latest threats, and increasing operating system efficiencies to say the least. Although there are a lot of great ideas as to how blockchain technology can help mankind evolve into a future with high demands, we have yet to see a truly decentralized blockchain emerge which can provide all-in-one solutions to:
+Blockchain technology is an extremely useful tech that allows global validation and access unlike that of any other method. However, the majority of existing blockchains put focus solely on 'financial' transactions, ignoring the fact that a blockchain can be leveraged for much more. Even those that attempt to do more, normally do it in a way that still requires web2 requirements such as servers, DNS, domains, and more. Qortal, however, changes all of that, introducing a network that is:
   * A system built by the people, for the people - to empower lives
-  * A place where free speech can thrive and data can be published without censorship
+  * A place where free speech can thrive and data can be published without any censorship potential
   * A stable and scalable infrastructure for both public and private applications
   * A real ‘DEX’ or decentralized exchange for asset trading (without a central authority)

 ===== Solution =====
-We have now reached a time where crypto enthusiasts as well as those seeking freedom in the world can join a network that provides true solutions, not half-decentralized web2-hosted applications pretending to be decentralized. In short, Qortal will provide the foundation for solutions to the world's biggest digital issues. Qortal is able to provide a more secure way for websites, blogs, social media, communication, peer-to-peer (P2P) asset exchanges, wallet/asset storage, operating systems, cloud storage, internet service, and virtually any other aspect of the Internet to operate without a central authority requirement. Both public and private applications can be built on the Qortal Network.
+By leveraging the blockchain concept, and applying it more thoroughly to the digital world, Qortal provides a network unlike any other. A blockchain-secured content distribution and hosting network that requires zero centralized provider involvement.
+Users run nodes, and those nodes are the entire network infrastructure, allowing users to take advantage of the same types of functionality that they enjoy on the centralized internet, but without the constant infringement, hacking, data theft, and additional issues brought on by the centralized providers and insecure methods leveraged therein.
+Global users can now join a network that provides true solutions, not half-decentralized web2-hosted applications pretending to be decentralized. In short, Qortal will provide the foundation for solutions to the world's biggest digital issues. Qortal is able to provide a more secure way for websites, blogs, social media, communication, peer-to-peer (P2P) asset exchanges, wallet/asset storage, operating systems, cloud storage, internet service, and virtually any other aspect of the Internet to operate without a central authority requirement.

 ===== Supporting Hardware =====
-Qortal allows the average computer to operate as a full node (Linux, Windows & Mac), although a cheaper and revolutionary concept has emerged: the QORTector and QORTable. The QORTector utilizes RaspberryPi 4 boards with a custom kernel that operates on an average 5W power consumption - the equivalent to charging a phone! Comparing that to the expensive power-hungry ASIC miners of Bitcoin, it becomes apparent how incredible the options are for running a node on the Qortal Network. For those who are technically inclined to do so, the images for the QORTectors are made available for download here: [[Raspberry Pi 4]]
+Ultimately, having fully open source hardware from the lowest possible level, combined with open source operating systems running Qortal, Q-Apps and other Qortal data, a truly secure next generation of the digital world is possible.
+CHD - Crowetic Hardware Development, is the first company formed for development of hardware solutions built with intent to run the Qortal Network. The 'QORTector', a 20W computer capable of not only running Qortal, but replacing insecure Windows or fully controlled Mac machines with open source linux-based desktop systems, was the first device created.
-The QORTable devices are USB flash drives with software that allows you to run the Qortal Core and UI without having to install anything on your computer. The core and UI run with your computer's CPU, but the database stays in the external drive, which means you can plug-n-play your Qortal Core and UI from one computer to another at any time! In other words, you can stop where you're at on one computer and pick up where you left off on another computer with QORTable! Coming soon!
+Longer-term the goal is to provide fully open hardware paired with fully open OS, and open source Qortal-powered solutions to operate every aspect of the global digital world.
