Hello, Ozlem!
I apologies for the lack of answers in my application from beginning. I would like to run a node in the xx network BetaNet. Please look to my answers below:
- In a decentralized networks, there are no authority that governs and handles the network. Control stays with the users itself. In a distributed system, all parties of network are located in different physical locations, but the processing is spread across multiple nodes, but decision-making can be centralized.
- I think xx network has the three main advantages - privacy (cMixer), security and scaling (quantum-secure consensus algorithm - xxBFT).
- At this moment we faced with lack of privacy in digital world, all information could be compromise by the centralized system/networks without permission of users such systems. The privacy of a sensitive information is critical for our future.
- If it happens, Owners of quantum computers could easy take control of the centralized systems, and dictated new rules of game for a society. I don’t mean some conspiracy theories, only aspects of the technological ability. There is one of reason that I like xx network, and want support from earlier stages of project.
I appreciate if you find my application matching requirements.
Look forward of your vote.

With a home installation and the latest update on the answers I am happy to add my support.
I don’t think you will need the 80GB RAM at this point through. I think 32GB was the high RAM recommendation

hi,in case of quantum computers ,when they are coming it will be very dangerous specially for whom activate in cryptocurrency ,all accounts and all wallets will be put in a great danger ,no boady will be safe ,a solution must be found as soon as possible,before its to late and price will drop to zero like melting ice.
