        Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)?
        CPU: Intel Core i7-10700К,
        RAM: HyperX Fury 64GB (32GBx2) 3600MHz CL18,

        GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING X TRIO
        Why do you want to be a node?
        I like the project and the goals that it pursues
        How did you originally hear about the xx network?
        In the telegram channels of the Russian-speaking crypto community
        Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
        Forum, telegram, discord
        What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform?
        Privacy
        Why do you want to run a node in the xx network
        I want to contribute to decentralization and privacy
        What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?
        Centralization is an encroachment on our privacy, control over all our online activities. Decentralization is the exact opposite of this. Decentralization is where the logical development of the Internet is heading. I hope …
        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.
        xx network is committed to providing true data privacy on the internet. At this stage of the BetaNet network, it is already clear that, unlike other projects, there is a real decentralization here (home servers located all over the world)
        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 without confidentiality there is a penetration into our private life, our personal data becomes an object of trade between advertising companies.
        In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?
        Quantum computers pose a huge threat to the current classical decentralized systems, since most of them do not have protection against this kind of hacking in their architecture.
        Centralized systems (for example, financial) are under even greater threat and the consequences of hacking such systems will be much stronger due to the concentration of control in one place.

        Equipment purchased, I’m ready for network validation! :slightly_smiling_face::
