How did you originally hear about the xx network? I learned from friends who validate solana
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Telegram
Are you an active member of those communities? Yes
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform?
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? no
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? We are regular participants of the conference BlockchainUA. This year was no exception.

    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. 3-5
    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 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 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? Distributed network all nodes are equal so to speak. Normally there are consensus protocols. Decentralized can't be controlled with every node contributing independently.
    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. The use of quantum computing it will be more secure and faster, with our info and transactions.
    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? Everyone should be able to control the level of their metadata on the web. Ideally, all user data should be kept private. The user must understand and be able to manage the information track that was sent to the network,
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? The ability to disrupt the structure of decentralized networks
