+# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+- Can it be done without blockchain?
+
+If it could, it would have been done already. The blockchain in this use case solves the problem of an integration
+architecture between several parties, which is not owned by a single participant.
+
+- Why don‘t you use a Sharepoint?
+
+In theory a good idea. However, you have to agree, who shoud host the Sharepoint. Should it be the donor? Which one in a multi-donor situation? Or should it be the partner? Do we trust the party who owns the sharepoint? Lots of open questions.
+
+- Why don‘t you use a cloud service by a 3rd party provider (google, amazon, ..)
+
+Two reasons: Not everyone is ready to go to a cloud. Moreover, the cloud provider is paid by someone – who should this be? It
+is difficult to find a truly independent 3rd party provider.
+
+- Is the blockchain consuming lots of energy, like Bitcoin?
+
+No it‘s not, since the consensus algorithm is configurable and configured to round-robin instead of proof-of-work

+- Is the KfW responsible for development and operation of TruBudget nodes?
+
+No, each organization is responsible for the hosting of their TruBudget installation. All participants in the network agree on which data/semantics will be shared in the cooperation. The KfW is contributing to the respective open source solution, under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

+- How do you handle GDPR (DSGVO) if data cannot be deleted?
