63. Can you explain how the ppc checkpoint system works by community consensus in the event of persistent 51% attack on proof-of-stake or other emergencies, and how that even though the checkpoints are currently centralized, this is not synonymous with ppc itself being centralized. Explain how there is no centralized control over changing ppc, but that in order to revert back to a checkpoint it still takes community consensus. (Alertness)
64. (pt2) So basically explain how centralized checkpoints does not meaning ppc is centralized. And could you give us an example: Explain basically what steps need to happen in the event of an emergency, so the community can quickly react, and knows what to do. (Alertness)
65. (pt3) Explain the difference between how the checkpoints are set up now and how this will be different in the future with the user-enabled checkpoints.

66. How will the constant adjustment of difficulty help with protecting the kernel? ( Irritant)
