    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? A distributed system is a network consisting of stand-alone computers connected using distribution middleware. A decentralized system is one that requires multiple parties to make independent decisions.

    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? further development can only take place with freedom and confidentiality
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? квантовый компьютер может подобрать приватный ключ блокчейн системы

    You will need a GPU (Build Your Node), which can be difficult or expensive from a datacenter.
    Can you please provide information (quotation) from Hetzner that shows the pricing and technical specification of the server?

    Hard no for me. Everyone with more than 4 to 7 years IT experience and blockchain experience should be able to understand the minimum hardware requirements.

    All of the hardware specs and bandwidth fall short. And with the standard CPU only DC setup it is a huge NO from me
