| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | 32GB ram, Evo 970, RTX 2080ti, Ryzen 3800. Will need to add another 250gb of memory. |
| 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: | No |
| Why do you want to be a node? | When I heard about this project from a video stream, I was extremely impressed by the technology and the fact that the network is trying to have our best interest at heart for privacy. |
| 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? | |

| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Decentralized is not operated by nor controlled by one entity but by many individuals spread out and throughout the world.

Also adding the quantum factor. |
| 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? | Well given the current circumstances...we have little privacy left. We need to get back to our roots and allow us to control our own information. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I see it being a threat if there are not systems put in place that can resist and or deflect this imposing threat. This is applied to both decentralized and centralized. |
