| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | Yes (please describe), Intel Xeon E5-2690v4, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, GTX 1060 |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | No |
| Specs | |
| Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below: | no |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I want to be part of the comunity and have a chance to get into the mainnet when bete-test will finish. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Telegram |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? | Telegram, Discord |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | I was interested by the non-standart approach of xx network platform of the development, I have read the beta-node handbook and like how you managing auto-updates of the nodes without engaging the operators every time. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | No |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | No |
| Do you have past experience managing communities or creating content to be distributed across social media? Please enter details for all with which you are comfortable or have experience: | |

| Why do you want to run a node in the xx network? | To earn xx coins, To contribute to a promising project, To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy |
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | As I undestand, the decentalized network consist of many nodes within the networks as an independent system contributing to a pool of computing resources. A distributed network is a combination of small centralized networks that are interconnected and controlled by a central node but that can work independently from one another. I prefer a decentralized networks. |
| As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. | XX network is online platform that allows you to communicate and exchange value without revealing information about your activity |
| Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? | Privacy is a default goal because many organisations at the internet are collecting and selling a data of user's activity without their consent. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers could solve complex calculations which could not be performed on the normal computers for a reasonable time. But at the same time it's mean that quantum computers could decrypt secured data which could not be broken by standart calculations. Thats why a new quantum-secure cyphers are needed. |
