Why do you want to be a node? Every project is unique technically. I am madly curious about it.
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Influencer Vlog
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?

What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? Solving the problem of quantum attacks on the system.

Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? No
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
    • To protect the privacy of political speech
    • To protect private personal communication around health and lifestyle issues from mass surveillance and abuse by centralized organizations
    • 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 undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    • 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? In a distributed network, there are always managing nodes and access to data is controlled by the company or those same nodes. In a decentralized network, everyone has the same access to data and resources.
    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. For me, the main difference between this platform and other networks is the built-in protection against the consequences of a quantum future and the desire to solve a very challenging task - to build a decentralized network without disturbing its structure and basic rules.
    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? It is a question of everyone's personal security. People deserve a guarantee that their personal information will not be used by unauthorised people.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Quantum computers threaten to lose personal data.
