| 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: | |
| Why do you want to be a node? | truly love the idea behind the XX network |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Word of Mouth |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | 1) XX Network is one of a few projects that is focused on metadata problem 2) The top-notch team that is capable to implement and scale project |

| Why do you want to run a node in the xx network |
|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Decentralized means that there is no single point where the decision is made. Distributed refers to differences of location. |
| 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 implementing blockchain technology and encryption which obscures metadata to offer a truly private, decentralized messaging and payment platform. How it differs from other blockchain solutions: xx network is the first blockchain capable of simultaneously achieve decentralization, speed, privacy, all with quantum-secure technology. |
| 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 by Default should be promoted as a default setting of every new "future internet service" and should be built into systems from the design stage as it helps to decrease the capabilities of internet surveillance from tech giants & governments |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers can potentially crack modern cryptographic algorithms - that's a risk for almost every decentralized\ centralized system |
