| Why do you want to be a node? | To be part of this project.It is amazing! And to earn also the coins as compensation. |
| 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? | Distributed is at the end still centralized, and decentralized not at all. Obvious that decentralized is better for the people, so I like that a lot. |

And that it runs on a mobile phone! Everybody has a phone! So that's great. And, correct me if I am wrong, but I think nobody offers that. |
| 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? | I think people are afraid to post their ideas and that is only getting worse. When the XX network is live, I hope that people start using it, so they can express their feelings and ideas again. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I am sorry, I did not have read so much about it. But again, correct me if I am wrong, quantum computers can calculate everything much faster and if it falls into the wrong hands, they can do only more damage to our data and privacy and God knows what else. |
