| 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? | I can't answer this question in any straightforward way. Each system has its advantages. In addition, they are quite similar. However, everyone prefers decentralized networks nowadays. Probably, because they are more democratic. |
| 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 values of other blockchains are very similar to the ones that the xx Network promotes. I would even say they are almost identical. The issue is that much of it does not work in practice. Take for example the same decentralization or security. Some problems in economics and governance do not allow these things to work. It is very different on the xx Network platform. |
