What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? Developed software first of all. Then I would like to see a lot of useful tools for developers. More stable network operation and faster transactions.
What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? Nothing, I guess
What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? 900
What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? 900
What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? 90
Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. about 0.25 USD per kwh
On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` 80
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). O2
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. I won't use datacenter for participating in this project
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)? Corsair Force MP600 1TB, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, Intel Core i9-10900KF, RAM 32 GB
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? It is crucial for me to support decentralized projects because the development of our digital space depends on it. I want it to be as safe as possible for all users.
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Word of Mouth
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Discord
  • BetaNet Forum
Are you an active member of those communities? No
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? Features of node operators selection, information handling, communication and functioning of local cryptocurrency.
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? Solana, Aleo, Parastate, Joystream
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? A decentralized network has no owner who controls all aspects and decisions. A decentralized network always consists of a large number of participants which are independent of each other. The concept of such a network is to provide maximum protection, privacy and performance.
    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 obvious uniqueness of the xx network is its cryptocurrency, one-time hash-based tokens. Such currency helps solve one of the main problems of decentralized networks - consolidation of power at the expense of big stake, etc.
    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? Many systems are very vulnerable because they cannot provide privacy. Moreover, users suffer greatly from this. Without privacy we will develop in the wrong direction, I know that for sure.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Quantum computers will be a threat to poorly protected data.
