| 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? | N/A |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | None |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 750 Mbps |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1 Gbps |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 95 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 10 cents per Kw/H |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 53 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | Personal Home |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | Bell |
| If your server is located in a Datacenter, please specify the name of the company hosting it. Nodes will not be allowed to run on Hetzner. If you do, you will not receive compensation. | |
| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | No |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | CPU Ryzen 9 3950XT , Cooler Thermal Take Floe DX360 , GPU RTX 2080Ti Memory 32GB Ram , 2T Samsung EVO plus |
| 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: | N/A |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I believe in the XX Network's Vision to take Blockchain technology mainstream and participate in the development of the system in the future. |
| 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? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | The Quantum Resistance of this platform seems to offer far better payments , messaging privacy and transaction speed than the currently popular mainstream crypto currencies . Now , more than ever , we have to work as a global community. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | No |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | No |
| 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. | 2 Posts a month |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | Yes |
| 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? | ecentralized networks cannot be controlled by a single supervisory authority and the outcome of the system is an aggregate of the decisions of the individual nodes. Distributed networks follow consensus protocols to agree on same values / commands / transactions /etc and the computations are spread across multiple nodes.I support an equilibrium of decentralized distributed newtworks. |
| 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. | The XX Network Platform handles the throughput and scalability while maintaining a high level of privacy and transaction speed. |
| 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? | Privacy are the stated goals of many messaging and blockchain solutions and fail miserably . XX Network is the only network with true decentralization and uses Metadata shredding and Quantum Resistant secure cryptography. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | It's hard to say with the rapidly increasing power and speed of quantum computing , but of all the blockchains , XX seems to offer the most Quantum resistant network. |
