| 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: | No, I don't have |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I like to feel part of something bigger. Node is a small part of the whole system, but she is very important to it. |
| 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 |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | That the network reduces the problems associated with the tyranny of the masses through privacy and decentralisation. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Mina Protocol |
| 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? | 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? | A distributed network can involve a large number of nodes, just like a decentralized network. The difference is that distributed networks are more vulnerable to attacks and failures, as there is a central point of control. |
| 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 promises to protect its users from mass surveillance and abuse by various centralised organisations and authorities. The platform's core values are freedom and privacy. David Chaum is trying to restore people's trust in the Internet. |
| 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? | To prevent misuse of users' personal data. I believe this is the biggest problem with the Internet at the moment. Blockchain and decentralized networks are very timely. Their concept will help to deal with this problem. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | The era of quantum computers has not yet arrived. When the time comes, everyone will have to rethink current cryptography and possibly create a new one. One that will not be at risk of attack from quantum computing. |
