| 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? | I want to learn everything about xxcoin technology and share my knowledge with the world. |
| 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? | No |

| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | no |
| 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. | No |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | No |
| 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? | Distributed networks are a conglomeration of centralized networks. It consists of multiple Nodes which themselves are small versions of centralized networks. Decentralized networks consist of individual nodes and every one of these Nodes are independent. I prefer the most decentralized network possible. For example I prefer ethereum to binance samrt chain. For sure there are always pro and cons but in the furture decentralized will prevail once problems are solved one at a time. |
| 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. | Fastest, more scalable, privacy and quantume security are where xxcoin can differenciate itself from others. |
| 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? | It's important to tweak the balance of power towards people. It won't be easy to get adoption though, legislator won't make it easy for those... |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | It's still an hypotetical threat in my opinion but still an important one. Any threat must be destroyed beforte it can opccur or it will be too late. It's the same for centralized or decentralized systems. |
You have my vote 
Good application, vote yes
Good application. I vote yes.
On a side note, distributed networks are not necessarily made of centralized pieces. It just means that the components of the network are physically separated from each other.
Application gets my vote.
Great application you have my vote
Good bandwidth and hardware. I support you.
I support you
Looks like a good application, has my vote
Looks good, nice application. Have my vote
