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 |
Why do you want to be a node? | I am irritated by the ever diminishing privacy and growing censorship on the internet, and see the investment possibility. |

|
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. | I could do a bi-weekly twitter update and a bi-monthly blog post |
Would you be interested in helping to lead the development of the next xx network community? | No |
Why do you want to run a node in the xx network |
|
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | a decentralised network secures the safety of the network by making lots of copies of the state of the network, in a distributed network, the state of the network is assembled by a group of nodes that perform a task and are in contact with each other on a need to know basis. I like a more scattered aproach, like the other project that I follow: masq |
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. | |
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? | if privacy is an option, you are dependant of the whims of others whose choice can undo your privacy settings. |
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | if the cryptographic encryption can be unlocked by ultrafast computers dedicated to finding the secret key, the privacy is gone |
Quantum was really easy?
Is it a setback to update maybe once a month?
