| Node Country | China |
| For which networks have you ever operated a node? |
|
| What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? | I hope xx network is a long-term project |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | It may be a matter of time, if I am too busy |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 200M/s |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 500M/s |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 69 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 12USD |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 76 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | The company's network laboratory |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | Pacific Supernet |
| If your server is located in a Datacenter, please specify the name of the company hosting it. Nodes will not be allowed to run on Hetzner. If you do, you will not receive compensation. | ok |
| 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)? | CPU: High core count modern CPU with Hyperthreading Capable of meeting Multithreaded PassMark score of 15,500 or Cinebench R5 Multi Score score of 1750 Examples: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, AMD Ryzen 5 3600x, Intel Core i9-9980HK GPU: Nvidia Turing or Tesla GPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 or greater RAM: 16GB DDR4 or more (an upgrade path to 32GB is recommended) Storage: 1TB High Speed Enterprise NVME (PCI) SSD Recommended speed: 500,000 /500,000 IOPS Recommended Reliability: 1.5 million hours MTBF Example: Samsung 970 PRO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe Note: SSD reliability is not as important for the BetaNet when there will not be a large number of transitions. It is likely that lower endurance SSDs will be fine but will need to be replaced when it comes time for MainNet. If an SSD fails, it could take substantial time before a node is able to get back online. Bandwidth: 100mbit up / 100mbit down |
| 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: | CPU:Intel_4210_Xeon_2.2GHz_10C*1 Memory: 32G_DDR4*2 Hard disk:16T_SATA_6Gbps_7.2Krpm_3.5in*36 Hard disk: SSD_480G_SATA_2.5in*1 Network card: dual-port 10 Gigabit (including optical module) *1 RAID: SAS3008 RAID card*1 Power supply:1300W power supply*2 |
| Why do you want to be a node? | I like David Chaum |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Telegram |
| 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? | xx messenger |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Ethereum community |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | 2021 International Conference on Block Chain Technology and Information Security |
| 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 |
|
| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | On decentralized networks, people have more privacy and rights, and data leads to individuals. The data of the centralized network is mastered and controlled by the centralized organization. |
| 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 constructs a high-performance, high-security privacy network at the bottom, and realizes value transmission, smart contracts, MPC, etc. on top of it, which is the infrastructure of the future decentralized society |
| 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? | Privacy should be owned and controlled by this person. The current structural requirements and demands of centralized networks can only be achieved on decentralized networks. This is the goal of the xx network. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Because the centralized system does not use a light quantum computer system, other quantum computers have an impact on the system, or centralized solutions have more centralized solutions. |
Mmmm….
This is not enough.
Yes, my friend shared his hardware configuration to me, and I know that might not work. I will make changes, thanks for your question
At that time, I might not fully understand the meaning of the questionnaire. In fact, I can do 100% of the runtime
