| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications? | AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 32 GB RAM, 10TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 |
| 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? | To support decentralized secure messaging, payments and dApps |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | David Chaum's talk at Web Summit 2019 |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? | |
| Are you an active member of those communities? | No |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | Building functional, valuable, fast, secure dApps |

| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | Yes |
| 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? | Distributed means shared but may or may not have a central decision points. Decentralized do not have a central decision point. Where I sit depends on application, for currency on decentralized part. |
| 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. | Faster, more secure, privacy build in |
| 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? | To enable the data controller full control over their private data, without surveillance or permission needed. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers can break most cryptographic algorithms several orders of magnitude faster than conventional. It is not easy to change algorithm in decentralized system. Centralized systems can react and change algorithm faster but there are other risks. |
Please have a look at the requirements (Revised BetaNet Node Hardware Requirements).
Your bandwidth and GPU do not seem to meet the requirements.
If you can upgrade, you have my support.
Good luck!
Also, you need 1TB NVME
You also have to update your GPU.
