    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
    • To protect the privacy of political speech
    • To protect private personal communication around health and lifestyle issues from mass surveillance and abuse by centralized organizations
    • To promote quantum secure distributed systems
    • To earn xx coins
    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world
    • To contribute to a promising project
    • To undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    • To reverse the political centralization of legal, police, and military organizations which favor the wealthy and powerful
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? The location of network nodes plays a major role here. In decentralized systems, each node usually has a different geographical location. More accurately, decentralized systems are very keen on this. This is the point because network participants are no longer tied to a single authority.
    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. Creating a radically new digital environment, I think so. While other blockchains can only solve one particular problem, xx Network covers a range of problems and offers elegant 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? Because it is everyone's right. Without privacy, we will lose our identity. We won't be able to be ourselves. This is terrifying.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Quantum computers can damage decentralized systems and they will suffer a lot. But I am sure it will only make us stronger.
