| 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? | Decentralized and distributed networks are more independent by design. However, in the last ones, consolidation of power occurs more often. |
| 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 the most secure digital sphere that allows users to share ideas and values in a secure and private way. Elixir will solve the main problems of digital currencies: low transaction speed, insufficient level of privacy and scalability. And Praxxis will solve the problem of performance, security and help to achieves linear scalability. |
| 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 has a right to privacy from birth. There are various tricky ways for companies to circumvent this law and use our data "legally". Privacy by default will take that away from them. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers will completely destroy centralized systems. And decentralized ones will have little time to improve their information encryption mechanisms. |

Good application…
Plus is that you use Discord for review your application
Do you mean to run all nodes on same computer?i do NOT recommend that.

Hi, thanks for the comment. What do you advise me to do in this case? NYM node hardly uses any memory. And Solana, yes, is much more resource-intensive. Should I move it to a remote server?
Choice is yours…depend how much money you can spend…
Except hardware requirements separation of nodes is important because security issues.

I understand it’s a serious issue. I will either move the nodes to a datacenter or ask an friend of mine to give me a computer. He has a lot of machines, he still mines bitcoin. Thank you!
