| 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? | |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | None. I will have the support of another experienced node runner that will help me overcome any obstacle. |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | Atleast 600mb but I could increase it in the future up to 1gb |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | Atleast 600mb but I could increase it in the future up to 1gb |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 100 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 0.0794 €/kWh |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 100 |
| 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). | TELEFONICA DE ESPAÑA |
| 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. | |
| Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? | No |
| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | AMD Ryzen 5 3600x (might upgrade)-Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070-32GB RAM-Corsair MP600 Force Series 1TB SSD M.2 PCIex4 Gen 4.0 |
| 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 be an active member of this community becouse I strongly support your ideas of privacy. I would like to help raise this network to fight against the centralization and control of companies and goverments. Those forces shouldnt be able to use our data to chain us like they are now. |
| 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? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | The ideology behind it and what I believe it will become in the future. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | 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. | 5/10 hours |
| Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | Yes |
| 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? | In a decentralized network the control over the net is spread between all the nodes, meaning that theres not a major entity that owns all the power and influence over the network. In a distributed network the processing is spread across multiple nodes, but decision making can still be centralised. |
| 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. | Since its beggining, the xx network has been designed to be quantum secure. It provides the most privacy and personal data/meta data security. It is also fast and easily scalable. |
| 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? | Becouse our personal data can have a lot of influence and power if it gets collected, sold, and used for political or economic reasons like it's been done before. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | In a centralized network, if a quantum attack on the central unit is successful, it would affect the entire network. Taking that into account I think it would be easy to take down an entire centralized network with a single quantum atack. |
