It’s a no leaving questions blank means imo that you are not a serious candidate
No. I would like to see you answer the questions at the end. Otherwise I won’t think you are a serious candidate.
Please specify
Hi,
Sorry for late answer, so im planning to use
ryzen 3700x
ram 32gb
nvme 1tb for node
ssd 480gb for gw
gpu 2070
Does not seem, to me, you are a serious candidate from your application and the unanswered questions, its a no from me.
I wasnt sure if i can afford to buy new hw as you know gpu market is now crazy
I would suggest to provide more info on the unanswered questions so the community has more info to give a opinion.
Now more popular are distributed networks but decentralization are on the way to catchup centralization, probably need wait some time. I like more decentralized networks as these are way to go as there is no point of failure if doesnt count software and no need invest in expensive solutions to keep network alive.
In true its hard to compare as now are there so many different blockchain solutions with different targets and most of them use different way how to achieve target. I think xx network has great potential to be really good to reach target.
Privacy is important as now there so many companies with centralized solutions has problems with it and info can be leaked so easy. So now while things change to be more internet orientated privacy getting more important than ever
