    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?
    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. For XX network privacy is first. I see XX team work very hard to make best network to do this. Other solutions say one thing but do other and think more of money not people.
    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? Many apps sell your data and so make not safe. It is very important for people privacy come first. Other platforms do opposite and people get tricked that data is safe. This is bad for people who live in difficult countries.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? In future they may break some encryption but harder to attack with decentralised systems.

    Sorry I forgot 1 question. Difference is for decentralized networks decisions not make centrally, but with distributed networks that not always true. It make it harder to hack.

    I have got everything for node but ssd are Samsung 980 pro not corsair. My husband help me build it.
