| Node Country | Ukraine |
| For which networks have you ever operated a node? |
|
| What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? | I like the decentralized governance approach XX team implemented from the very beginning. I also like the obfuscated approach xx nodes planning to use to secure full privacy |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | nothing special, all is pretty straightforward |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1 gbps, but I see less is ok |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1 gbps |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 95 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 0.1 usd/kwH and increasing constantly |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 4 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | Personal Home |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | Volia, and/or Itlas |
| If your server is located in a Datacenter, please specify the name of the company hosting it. Nodes will not be allowed to run on Hetzner. If you do, you will not receive compensation. | not in DC |
| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | yes, but it's not required now |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | AMD Ryzen 5600x, 64 Gb, 1tb Gb NVMe SSD, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 |
| 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: | na |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I truly support the decentralized blockchain networks, and hope my small experience would be of benefit to the XX ecosphere. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | friends and crypto community |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | Specifically I'm really interested how the XX team is going to resolve the 1) peering issue 2) block-production on the GPU combined with POS mechanics Most interesting is to see how well the anonymization would work |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | I'm usually too busy with tech things and nodes maintenance, so not really highly active community writer :) |
| 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? | Decentralizes is not equal to distributed. the distributed network may be truly centralized in one two hands, by stake or by power. The true decentralization is ideal, and requires the hard and soft implementation |
| 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. | The value is inside the decentarlization and anonymity, this is and may be the good selling point for the project |
| 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? | As we can see, the data privacy is a main concern now in the world, the GDPR initiatives, the regulations saying the personal data is the key, but governments and transnational corps are ignoring the personal data protection initiatives and development of strong, powerful, really decentralized and truly anonymous networks is the good next step to the crypto freedom |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | It's too early to speculate on this matter, as there is no documented or published fact that quantum computers are in force. |
