| 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? | Distributed means computation is spread across multiple nodes instead of just one. Decentralized means no node is instructing any other node as to what to do. I sit on the both of this networks |
| 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. | xx network is implementing blockchain technology and encryption which obscures metadata to offer a truly private, decentralized messaging and payment platform. This means that with xx network technology, there is no way for any third party -- including governments or tech companies or even the xx network itself -- to see information about the sender or recipient(s) of communications or payments. Rather than using PoS or PoW, the xx network uses a brand new consensus mechanism called xxBFT to achieve maximum performance. In addition, Elixxir integrates metadata shredding to ensure privacy goes beyond encryption. |
| 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 privacy is what we worry about every day. our life and well-being envy of it. that is why it is so important for everyone. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | centralized systems such as Google, Amazon and Facebook will fade into the background when really secure sources of information storage appear through distribution. |

Another data center…no!

If it’s collocation you can always go in… grab your server and walk out.
Plus it’s Ukraine . More freedom than in Western EU.

It’s not bad imho to run a node in a data centre if it is collocated, as the applicant states, because data centres often have critical advantages over home-based solutions, especially concerning redundancy of electricity (UPS) and Internet connectivity, cooling, fire protection, and DDoS protection.
I like this application, but applicant states that he does not want to get more involved besides running a node, so I’m not supporting this application, as we at least need some support in governance at this early stage of the project.

Hi! I apologize, but there was some mistake. I am ready to take any active part, and in general, as for me, this is a super project and it is a great honor for me to take part in it.

Yes, you are right, we have several large hosting providers with colocation services in Ukraine.

Triolan is a group of telecommunications operators that provide telecommunications services in a number of Ukrainian cities. The headquarters is located in Kiev. This provider is one of the top Internet service providers in Ukraine. My relatives work in a management position and will be happy to help me place my node for them in the data center.
In another case, there are still many decent providers who can provide a colocation service.
why not. We have many providers of such services in Ukraine, such as theHost (https://thehost.ua/ua ), silvertelecom (https://www.silvertele.com/page/services), lanet and others.
Feel free to ask any questions, I am ready to answer them with pleasure.
Has my vote. Let’s try.

Thanks a lot!
In a datacenter is fine by me BUT:
there are requirements which is clearly stated and in the contract: YOU NEED A GPU.
So it is simple: NO GPU=NO VOTE
And if you lie about it, the network will show that you have no gpu and thus disqualified
THINK ABOUT IT
Thanks for your response,
sure, in my application I specify Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070.
