| Node Country | Russia |
| For which networks have you ever operated a node? |
|
| What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? | I would like the node holders to be instructed and that in the future, the node holders were obliged to strengthen the protection of their servers, since many do not adhere to the minimum necessary protection measures. |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | - |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 500 |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 450 |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 99 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 0.05 c/kw |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 40 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | The node will be located in the personal house, and the gateway in the data center. |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | DOMRU |
| If your server is located in a Datacenter, please specify the name of the company hosting it. | Contabo |
| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | I have some experience of keeping nodes in data centers of almost all projects in which I participated. I have round-the-clock access to the server via ssh or vnc. I use server monitoring tools and interaction via webmin I only give access to certain ports, and also, if necessary, only whitelisted IP addresses are allowed access.The server performs automatic data backups, and also sends SMS notifications in case of problems. I also perform the necessary settings for each node separately (in case of failures to perform certain automatic actions) |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | Ryzen 3900x, Nvidia RTX 3080, SSD Samsung 970 PRO M.2 MZ-V7P1T0BW, RAM 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz |
| Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below: | - |
| Why do you want to be a node? | The theme of the project is very close to my worldview, and if there is a chance to participate in the development of the future world, to become a part of one idea, then it is definitely worth it. In terms of technical knowledge, I am also ready to be part of a stable system.I have some experience supporting various nodes as well as testing them. I have the ability to provide uninterrupted operation of node and monitor the technical condition. I am ready to perform the necessary tasks,as well as meet the requirements and,if necessary, carry out an upgrade of a node, as well as an upgrade of computer components. I am ready for long-term cooperation with the project team and look forward to cooperation for many years. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Telegram |
| 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? | A deeper immersion, in comparison with most projects, into the problems of decentralization, as well as the development of methods for solving them. The future that is already coming gives developers new ideas, such as protection from supercomputers. It sounds like a distant future, but who knows what awaits us in the coming years. An innovative approach and a vision for the future to anticipate future vulnerabilities inspired me. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Gated community in telegram yakuzanodes, and dropstech, dropsearn. |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | Binance meetup in moscow |
| Do you have past experience managing communities or creating content to be distributed across social media? Please enter details for all with which you are comfortable or have experience: | |
| As part of growing the xx network community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an xx network BetaNet node? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. | Several times a month, after updates and important news. |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | No |
| 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? | Unlike distributed systems, decentralized systems do not have an intermediary and make it possible to interact with other users systems directly.In this system, I am a mechanism that will, like many other nodes, guarantee the implementation of all necessary procedures using praxxis and elixxir. |
| 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. | Thanks to well-coordinated work and various actions, with the help of praxis and elixir, we achieve complete data protection and complete confidentiality. The new consensus will enable fast network speeds and the ability to scale to thousands of 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? | The future is knocking at our door. Governments of all countries are not only increasingly controlling our lives but also trying to get all our personal and metadata, breaking all bounds. All data falling into the wrong hands can play a cruel joke. Anyone from officials to police officers and criminals can use people's data for personal and criminal purposes, which is unacceptable. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | What about centralized systems? In my opinion, all systems are at risk when it comes to quantum computers. Incredible computing power, performing an infinite number of operations per second. All networks in their current form are vulnerable and not ready for the arrival of quantum computers. In my opinion, only modern and innovative developments, such as consensus xxBFT, can give impetus to the development of quantum secure systems. |

I absolutely support it. we can learn a lot from you. you got my vote
hilmi u support every Russian application? Rather odd.
Ok this theme is becoming to obvious! No
