    What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported?
    i have supported a node in 2017, to set it up it was very difficult, i couldn’t do it by myself, i asked someone who is a software engineer to fix it, it was even difficult for him but he succeeded in it, so please provide good instructions to setup and run a node.

    What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node?
    At the moment i am really happy with the terms and conditions coming with the xx network platform, i don’t see any potential setbacks preventing me from operating an node. Maybe the reward of running a node, if this will be decreasing in value by time, it will be something to think about because running this hardware specs in Holland is quite expensive.

    What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform?
    The privacy layer of it, the speed how it can handle the volume, exponential more then btc can do

    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?
    with the decentralized network you have not centralized the nodes all over the world, all the nodes are capable of individual decisions.
    a distributed network is a big network with small networks with the same properties as the distributed head network, the small networks are all centralized and cant make a decision independently
    i am trying to be a part of a decentralized 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.
    i haven’t found any other blockchain solution combining the privacy decentralization and linear scalability in the same time. it is totally different providing the full privacy with decentralized nodes.

    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?
    if there was no privacy by default, it will be very risky and inefficient to handle data. there should be full privacy by default to protect the data around the world. privacy is the most important goal for the coming years for the future of internet.

    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?
    i don’t think that quantum computers pose a threat towards the decentralized systems, the encryption used in the blockchain is very secure. if you look at the centralized systems its different, i do think the quantum computers pose a threat for centralized systems because of the capability to break the encryption and look in to the centralized data which is easy to find in the centralized network.

    I support you. Have fun!

    @zubairahmad heb je hulp nodig met installeren? Als je er niet uit komt kan je me mailen op [email protected]

    @TGV thanks a lot for your support! I realy appreciate it.

    @royal85 ja als ik geaccepteerd wordt zeker wel! Heb jij enig idee hoe lang het kan duren? Wil heel graag beginnen, kan niet wachten

    Hierna volgt een naselectie. Als je daar doorheen bent dan kan je KYC doen. 4x per maand sturen de registratie sleutels. Dus elke week zeg maar. Ik geloof dat er eind van de maand de lijst met nieuwe deelnemers gepuliceerd word en dan krijg je ook een mail om KYC te doen. Dus als je die snel doet heb je ook snel je registratie code.

    Thnx voor je duidelijk uitleg.
    Dus even geduld hebben en hopen dat ik in de selectie zit. Erna kyc doen en knallen maar. Hoop echt dat ik erdoorheen kom :palms_up_together:

    I liked the questionnaire and the activity of this participant in the discord! If I can vote, I’ll vote for him!
