| 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 idea of a truly private coin/messenger is very appealing in this times. I want to contribute to an awesome project with such names behind it. |

|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Decentralized networks consist of nodes taking their own decision and then the rest of the network incorporates that decision and kind of accepts it . A distributed system is one where all work is done by all of the nodes but the decision might still be taken at a higher level. My position on this - I believe in democracy and in the right to be heard |
| 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 would be the only decentralized platform that could scale efficiently, thus providing the means for satisfying the ever increasing demands of our times. + true anonymity - meta data shredding. |
| 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? | There is a frightening amount of data being collected everyday about every single person on the internet. And there are a lot of entities that would love to use that data for evil purposes. I believe Privacy by Default should be the norm. A future where everything and everyone is monitored sounds frightening. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I believe the threat is mostly the same for both decentralized and centralized system. All of our secure protocols that are being used right now will not be safe when faced with quantum computers' computational power. SSL, TLS, nothing will be safe. And this will be a problem. |
