How about some HW info pls.
If approved I will buy Ryzen 3950, RTX 2080, ram 32gb and eco 970 pro.

Then you have my vote.
Application looks good other than your stated “node uptime estimate”
If you don’t have 75%+ uptime every month you will not be receiving compensation from the network. I’m assuming you misunderstood the question but I’d like to have some clarification.
Based on the HW specs you provided and the bandwidth you stated to have you won’t have any problems running a stable node.
Clear up the question and you have my support!

Yes it was a misunderstanding, I will have 75+ percent uptime minimum.

Looks good from your responses to the comments and the application looks good. You have my support
Application and hardware look sound. You have my vote
Do you have some comments please on the last questions?
My interest in being involved with the xx collective is that I strongly believe in a decentralized network where personal privacy is taken seriously.
It seems like so many apps and platforms are changing their policies and taking away people’s privacy rights.
Decentralized networks have no single point where decisions are made whereas a distributed networks still has some form of hierarchy.
The biggest wealth a decentralized system can give us is its credibility while keeping multiple individuals in a network. Quantum computers would destroy it really quick if they managed to achieve enough qubits. Centralized systems in other hand could be weaker, but would recover faster than decentralized systems as they have a huge support from establishment. Quantum computers are becoming a serious treat for crypto and all its attack surfaces should be hardened asap.
