| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | I have most everything except I would have to upgrade from RTX 2060 to 2070 super or higher and change my memory. None of which would be an issue if selected to run a node. |
| 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? | The simple fact that there was an attempted identity theft towards myself recently. Was not a pleasant thing to have to go through.

| 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 |

| 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? | In distributed systems, each node makes its own decision, and this is important to understand.

| 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. | quantum security, enhanced security, high performance, |
| 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? | Online privacy has opened up new opportunities for life and self-expression. Most governments are looking for a way to control the Internet through deanonymization. I am concerned about this, we should live in a free world and be free people and be allowed to control our own choices. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers threaten existing encryption algorithms and the security of centralized systems, which undermines the foundations of existing Internet privacy. what kind of free society can you talk about if everything can become globally centralized . we must not allow this to happen and we must make a contribution to the future of us and our children |
