          Hi guys excited to join the xxnetwork but I accidentally got half way through and when I came back to my application, it was submitted but only half way through. Is there a way I can edit my application to fill it out in full? Any help is much appreciated!

          The maximum upload and download bandwidth my node can provide is 500mbps

          Cost of electricity :10cents per kw

          Hardware : Ryzen 3950x rtx3070 evo 970 pro with 32gb ram.

          -Why do you want to be a node?
          Crypto/technology is the future and I want to get running a node now so I can make a great investment and be ahead.

          -Which current xxnetwork communities are you a member of?
          Facebook,discord

          -Are you an active member of those communities?
          Yes

          -What specifically interests you about the xx network platform?
          The entire platform but specifically being qc resistant

          -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 help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
          To promote quantum secure distributed systems
          To undo the centralized of the internet by big tech companies
          To reverse the political centralization of legal, police, and military organizations which favor the wealthy and powerful
          To earnà xx coins
          To protect private and personal communication around health and lifestyle issues from mass surveillance and abuse my centralized organizations
          To contribute to promising project

          What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?
          Decentralized networks cannot be controlled and its every node for themselves, the outcome of the system is decided by individual nodes, distributed nodes apply consensus protocols to agree on the same transaction/values. I fall on the side of decentralized networks hands down but there is positives and faults with both

          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.
          There are so many netwofk platforms that are false and incorrect, dealing with the quantum issue and keeping it all safe and secure

          Privacy by default is a goal of the xx network platform. In your opinion, why is privacy by default critical for the future of internet?
          I sincerely wish everything on the internet could be private but it will be an ongoing issue as long as the internet is around, and I dont see it going anywhere

          In your opinion what threat if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?
          They pose a big threat in the sense that all system securities could be obsolete and make cyber security near impossible to obtain
