| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Word of Mouth |
| 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 would say the overall idea of privacy, achieving quantum proof security as well as its approach of decentralization while mainting high performance and scalability. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Occasionally |
