| For which networks have you ever operated a node? | |
| What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? | Not applicable |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | None |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 100 |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000 |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 95 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 12-14 cents CAD/kwh |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 5 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | Personal Home |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | Telus or Shaw |
| If your server is located in a Datacenter, please specify the name of the company hosting it. | |
| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | No |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications? | No |
| 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: | I will purchase hardware to match specs that are required by the network if I am accepted. |
| Why do you want to be a node? | A few reasons, one I am very much in to technology investment and this project seems very promising based on what I have read and watched. Two, I am very interested in the specific identity securing technology that could potentially produce a revolution in messaging and payments from the same application while staying anonymous and secure. To my knowledge I don't think that's been done yet. |
| 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? | No |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | The potential of having a cell phone application that can handle private, secure, anonymous messaging along with payments. That would be incredible |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Not right now I'm not |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | No I haven't |
| 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: | |
| As part of growing the xx network community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an xx network BetaNet node? How much content on a monthly basis? | I'm open to suggestion |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | No |
| 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 networks means a network which is not owned/operated by a singular entity. Distributed networks are, for example, nodes which run a network from multiple geographical locations using multiple ISP connections to keep network from being compromised by a large outage of service in any one area. |
| 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 proposing to be the first to create an messenger/payment app that can shred meta data properly and efficiently at high speed. This is a bigger deal than most realize |
| 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 = Freedom That's about as simple as I can explain it. We need privacy |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I'm actually not to familiar with the specifics of the issue but from what I understand, the quantum computer will be so powerful /fast at computing data/algorithms that it can potentially crack any current security protocols that are in use today. Decentralized or otherwise. |

Hello, my apologies for not answering sooner. Meeting the specs will be no problem at all. I can purchase whatever is needed and I went though the specs for main net. All good.
Right on good to see word is traveling in my neck of the woods. If you’re gonna be building a rig from spec that’s awesome and exactly what I think ppl should be doing. It’s an investment of course but a good one I would think!
