| Why do you want to be a node? | My participation will help to make the xx network more decentralized and more robust. Buying just coins as investment will not make it better than if I participate as the node runner. Running a node better supports the idea of liberal finance system. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Referred by the friend who already participates in the xx network. |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | No |
