sure, there's a crypto meetup not far from where I live, but it's 10-50 members and happens monthly |
| As part of growing the Elixxir community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an Elixxir BetaNet node? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. |
Yes (how much content on a monthly basis?) |
| If yes, how much content on a monthly basis? |
we'll see how decent the node runs and if so, I definitely will want to reach out in my network |

distributed = different tasks are spread out across clients (usually managed by 1 controller entity) decentralized = all clients are basically doing the same and none of them have control over the network |
