    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?
    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.
    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? One of the clear signs of freedom for people is their independence and the ability to control their own lives, which is impossible in a situation where a lot of important decisions that affect our lives are made secretly and without our participation.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I believe that quantum computers can pose a threat, the network and wallets will not be safe as well as all cryptography.

    yes

    I need more answers

    please a little more answers

    Ok, but didn’t answer all questions. To me, this is a sign that the applicant doesn’t care too much.

    The only two qestions that should be answered would be the

    the others, if they never setup a note why would they answer or participated in a conference.

    I do agree with the system setup, not fast enough but there’s also a 30 days waiver to fix or drop the node

    They also didn’t specify the name of their ISP, which makes me doubt whether or not they will be hosting at home.

    Hello everyone, here are the answers to your request.

    If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?

    I believe that decentralized networks are more secure, having the ability not to be tied to one location and thereby preventing the danger of hacking or control.
    A distributed network is a communication network that connects computers in different regions and countries. Global networks are examples of distributed networks, and they ceased to be secure due to the fact that they began to be controlled by authorities and corporations.

    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 seems to me that Project XX is a good example for many other teams, as XX touches on many important topics, including speed, security, network security, ease of use, and protection from quantum computers, which can pose a great threat to closed data.

    Thank you, I will be glad to answer any questions.
