| Country | Russia |
| What languages do you speak? | Russian, English |
| What is your occupation? | Full-Time Node Operator |
| Non-technical Role or Other (please specify) | |
| How many years experience in your field? | 1-3 |
| What is the highest degree or level of school you have completed? | Some school up to Secondary or High School, no diploma |

| Node City | Moscow |
| Node State/Province | Moscow Oblast |
| Node Country | Russia |
| 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? | The use of friendlier environment components in which the node works (language environment, the use of ready-made solutions like docker can have a positive or negative effect, depending on the case). The ability to work with transactions without using a graphical (desktop or browser) interface, support for all functionality in the terminal in general (this is not always available in other projects). The rest of the requirements relate more to the network than to the node as an entity with which I work directly. |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | In general, none |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000 |
| 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? | 99 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 0.04$/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?` | 50 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | Datacenter |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | |
| 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? | ordered dedicated server colocation previously |
| 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: | No home or other hardware i would use currently, if application will be approved, will order appropriate hardware as soon as possible |
| Why do you want to be a node? | Because when xx will become more widespread, it would be in my interests if this significant and wider object will be more democratic, resistant to malicious actions regarding its control. I can participate in this on my own to some extent. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Newsletter |
| 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? | first wide private messaging protocol |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Mostly active in Cyber (decentralized search on Cosmos) |
| 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: |
|
| 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? | 2 - 3 |
| 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 refers to distribution category (in the network - location of agents). Decentralized - to the absence of a central controlling entity (in the network - the controlling center). On this spectrum, I consider Bitcoin and some other networks quite "decentralized", since I accept the complexity of establishing such systems in the real world and use definitions less rigidly (I adhere to a formal understanding of them). |
| 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. | Unique setup of privacy tools and sufficient consensus work |
| 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? | Critical becuase the role of how information is managed by people online will be more evolving. Important to give people opportunity to have a privacy by default without so hard setup. The trend towards a decrease in violence in society will make it so that the main control will be the control of access to information from the point of view of the mass user. This will be a more sensitive aspect. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? |
Can you really order a custom computer and put this hardware requirement in this data center because most time refuse to host custom computer ?
Thank you for your reply
