What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? Many networks have lacked the ability to work through Docker. I find this environment very convenient. Also the availability of useful monitoring tools.
What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? At this stage, I'm doing great.

Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. 0.1 per kWh, so about 35 USD per month
On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` 85
In what type of environment would this server be located? Personal Home
If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Orange

Do you have past experience deploying hardware servers in a datacenter? No
Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? Samsung 860 QVO, 1ТB Samsung 980 PRO, 64RAM, RTX 2080 Ti, Core i9-9980HK
Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below: No, I don't have
Why do you want to be a node? There is nothing better than being part of a big and promising project that will benefit everyone.
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Newsletter
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Discord
  • BetaNet Forum
Are you an active member of those communities? No
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? A unique messenger. That's what hooked me the most. I hope it will become popular and have many users. This is the only way we can beat the surveillance system.
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? Moonbeam, Covalent, Manta Network, Solana
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? No
Do you have past experience managing communities or creating content to be distributed across social media? Please enter details for all with which you are comfortable or have experience:
    As part of growing the xx network community, are you willing to create content as part of operating an xx network BetaNet node? Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. No
    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 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
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? A distributed network is very similar to a centralized network. It just has more computing power because it uses many nodes.
    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 the expression of the WEB 3.0 concept.
    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? Not thinking about privacy now will lead to total control. The political state in many countries is shaky, with the government clinging to power in every way possible. Ownership of users' personal data is another restriction that will keep us from a bright future.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? We can definitely live in peace for the next couple of years:) This technology is not so easy to learn and put into action quickly.
