| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | Quantum Secure Hash-based cryptography reall caught my eye. We are headed to a world where quantum computing is becoming popular. We need cryptocurrencies that are resistent to quantum computing attacks. |

|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | To my understanding, decentralized networks are void of a central authority, but it doesn't mean that all participants have a say as to what happens to the network. Distributed networks allow all participants to have a say as to what goes on on the network. |
| 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. | The xx network is valuable because it relies on metadata shredding.

| 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? | This is critical because it is important for a just world to allow humans to express themselves clearly without the threat of being silenced by central authorities. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers could destroy centralized systems and replace them with their own. Quantum computers could enhance decentralized systems. |

You should consider hosting at home, building your own server since its better for the network than using datacenters.
I like your application though

Decent application however, I’m skeptical about the lack of hardware.Can you obtain the recommend hardware? Would you be able to run the server from home?

Hi, so I wanted to find a way to run a server from a VPS. This is what I am currently doing with PAC Protocol.
That being said, I am not against getting the necessary hardware. I really want to be a part of this project.
I am looking into the hardware. I would definitely want to be a part of the network!
I like your geo but we need to better understand your HW and location intentions.

Good application but need specifics on Location and Hardware.
tell me where I need to be more specific please.
Your hardware you intend to use if selected to start with.
Appreciate the mention of centralization by big tech. Can definitely get on board with avoiding this, looks good to me!
with more specification on hardware, this application has my vote!
fantastic application

What kind of a say do you expect you should have about the uses of XX Network that you do not approve of?
And should your say matter in this case (that is, if somebody used the network and your node to transmit messages you do not approve of)?
You have my vote
Fantastic location, got my vote
