| 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 metadata shredding tech while being qc resistant. This is amazing piece of tech. |

| 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? | Because optional privacy doesn't work; all those so-called privacy coins and networks are failing 1 by 1, except for e.g. Monero. Only optional/opt-in transparency can work. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Breaking the algorithms, exposing all data. That would be pretty much game-over. So better be ready now, before the QC threat becomes active and real. |
