| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Each system has its own advantages.

They are now being actively improved, so soon they will not be inferior to distributed systems at all. |
| 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. | I can say xx Network has all the things we love about blockchain and decentralization. The only thing that sets this platform apart from others is that all of these things have been thought through and brought to perfection. I am talking about privacy, data protection, ensuring decentralization, unique and convenient cryptocurrency. |
| 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? | Digitalisation has brought us many good things. But it has also caused almost all of our data to be on the internet. It is even easier to steal it, because we do not know how to manage and protect it. Privacy by default will of course remedy this situation. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | I'm not convinced that quantum computers will be used for just such a purpose, to declassify data. Rather, I want to believe it. This technology could take countries to a new level of development. It would be a shame if governments used it for their own ends. |

Good answers and understanding. I support this application
Has my support as well.
I see a good experience and knowledge base. Good luck, you have my vote!
i am not sure for that processor…i think that will be ok but not sure. @Keith what do you say for that CPU?
You will run node on laptop?
Except that application is good
If that CPU is OK… You have my vote
