    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? I think distributed networks are just a transitional stage between centralized and decentralized ones. They are powerful because of the large number of nodes, but lack privacy and anonymity. Therefore, the final stage in the development of the internet is decentralized systems.
    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. xx Network is an improved form of blockchain that focuses on creating a secure digital space and the ability to communicate with data encryption.
    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? I would compare the internet to a state, where everyone should have basic rights just like in life. A state that doesn't provide rights is only waiting for a revolution.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? We have to admit that quantum computers are currently weaker than decentralized networks. However, this could change over time, as these machines have great potential.
