| 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). | Penki |

| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, RAM 64Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB, Ryzen 5 5600H |
| 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 like to get into the technical part of projects because that's where you can find the answer to how things work |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Word of Mouth |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | No |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | Linear scalability. It is quite difficult to achieve, as adding resources entails additional overheads. |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Moonbeam, Agoric and Solana Network |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | No, but I'm going to attend |

| 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 |
|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | A decentralized network is above all about freedom. Here, data cannot be manipulated or stolen because there are common rules for all. These rules are inviolable and literally sealed in the network architecture. |
| 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 xx Network platform is different in that it looks to the future and thinks ahead. It is only a matter of time before the first quantum computer attacks start, when messengers and the companies that own them start stealing and selling your data without even hiding it. For these problems, xx Networks already has ready-made solutions and that's great |
| 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? | Yes, I think privacy is needed everywhere. Now we are gradually moving away from democratic dogma and towards authoritarianism |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | A single quantum computer could easily hack into any network, steal or alter data, lock down a system or change its code. |
