    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 earn xx coins
    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world

    • 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? Decentralized networks are strongly independent. They were created to make people free from the ruling masses, from organizations, from the government.
    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. This platform is capable of providing a secure internet. I think this is more than enough, as this problem is being put on the back burner for now.
    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? Unfortunately there are people we cannot trust, so it is essential to provide users with privacy.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I am more in favor of skeptics who believe that decentralized systems have nothing to fear.
