Why do you want to be a node? | I am interested in working on projects that develop blockchain technology |
How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Telegram |
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? | I am interested about innovative xx network consensus algorithm and its implementation, which bring great energy savings. I would like to learn more about technical part of this project. |

|
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | I'm pro decentralization, centralized one lead to authoritarian regimes. Decentralized means that there is no single point where the decision is made. |
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 obvious value of xx network is its privacy, decentralization and quantum resistance but the real value comes from smart and skilled community leaded by David Chaum who is probably the most experienced person in the industry. |

In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers is a breakthrough that will affect whole Internet when they become enough powerful. Quantum computers can solve certain problems exponentially faster than normal ones. Especially it put in the risk everything which takes advantage of RSA encryption (quantum algorithms allow to find private key in relatively short time). |
