Additional comment :

KYC is performed / was already performed.

Bits & Bytes is a split of of Dcent and will focus on future data distribution. They are known irl. Holon Australia are knowm irl and per contract DSS Australis are known irl and per contract RMM Global, China. KYC performed per video and contract.

Until now focus has been on lead SP ( Bits and bytes ) to store the unsealed and sealed copy of first replica and have everything retrievable. RMM is only storing the sealed replica for security and backup.
