| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080, 1TB NVME SSD, 32GB RAM |
| 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: | |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I'd like to get involved to provide resource/input and to see the project succeed. I'm also very interested from a pure technical perspective. |
| 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? | It's Quantum Secure tech |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Most recently Codius as I was interested to see where that would go |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | Not yet |
| 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? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. | 1-4 |
| 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? | Decentralized networks are not governed by a central authority. Whereas distributed networks are resilient by being distributed geographically but can still be governed centrally. |
| 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 main value for me is having a network that is secure from quantum level computing and to uphold individuals privacy. |
| 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? | Privacy by default should be human right. It should be up to the individual to have control over what they share publicly. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | In future there is great potential threat from quantum computing to privacy and centralized systems that are not resilient against that level of brute force power. |
