| 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? | updates for faster JavaScript execution, better memory management |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | there is a good connection of at least 500 mbit / s download and 500 mbit / s upload available, so I do not foresee any setbacks |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 500 mbit/s for know it can go up to 1000mbit/s |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 500 mbit/s for know it can go up to 1000mbit/s |
| 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. | €30,- a month |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 52 |
| 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). | KPN |
| 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)? | No |
| 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? | To make the network more robust. The greater the number of full nodes used to verify transactions, the more decentralized and more resistant to certain types of attacks the network becomes. Running your own node is the best way to support that. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Bitcointalk |
| 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 possibility that everyone who shares the interest can delve into this with the possibility to create their own node this is really unique |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | At the moment I am mainly active in ETH groups and I am waiting for the new currency to come on the market in March |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | The Blockchain Innovation Conference was supposed to take place on June 30 last year, unfortunately this was canceled due to Corona. The event is the kick-off of the Dutch Blockchain Week, including the Blockchain Expo Europe 2020 in Rai Amsterdam |
| 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. | 5 hours |
| 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? | More and more decentralized applications are being launched with more attention to privacy. The problems of the central internet are also receiving increasing attention in the media. It is therefore likely that we will experience major developments in the near future. I am in favor of decentralized so that we are not dependent on one and have more freedom of movement |
| 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. | It is mainly privacy that makes the difference, from where other problems are solved. The users are paid to make important decisions and this allows them to decide for themselves. |
| 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? | Because with privacy by default you can choose whether something that is public may also be visible to the outside world. So it is not standard and you can make a choice yourself. Means that the default settings are as privacy friendly as possible |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | If the central—or master—server goes down, the individual “client” machines attached to it are unable to process user requests. |

I have contacted with some for this one so when it’s officially this would be the one to use.
Thank you looking really forward be a part of the network and learning more 
I appreciate it a lot did my research on this one

There is also a good WiFi connection available 1 gbit/s
Sounds like you have things lined up HW wise. I say yes.

Je error rate is vrij hoog.
Check volgende:
-
gebruik andere DNS dan standaard KPN DNS. Google, Amazon of openDNS
-
je router heeft mogelijk problemen. Ik adviseer minimaal een KPNbox v10 te hebben. Anders upgraden.
