| 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? | The various advantages of distributed systems are as follows – No single point of failure. The failure of one node will not take down the entire system. This structure makes it reliable. These multiple nodes can be centralised or decentralised. The system is scalable. The load on the network is distributed, making it more efficient. The system is more secure as hackers need to attack multiple points simultaneously. xx network intention to make everything as clear, transparent, and accessible as possible. |
| 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. | All current blockchain networks have several fundamental weaknesses. They are built around mechanisms that can lead to the consolidation of power, threatening the decentralized nature of the network. They lack the speed and scalability to serve users at a global scale, which prevents mainstream adoption of the technology. They rely on cryptography that may be vulnerable to nation-state adversaries and, soon, to the use of quantum computers, limiting the security of the financial products and data they manage. Finally, they fail to provide usable privacy, exposing user metadata and identifying information to anyone monitoring the network. The xx network intends to be a new type of platform, offering a protected digital sphere, through which its users can share ideas and exchange value in a secure and private way. It is comprised of five major components: ● Currency: A secure and optionally denominated digital currency, the xx coin, that can be traded among users and businesses while incentivizing the operation of the network. ● Blockchain: A breakthrough consensus algorithm and blockchain protocol, ensuring consensus-based operations and capable of scaling to meet any level of demand. ● Nodes: A decentralized, global network of conventional servers, each independently owned/operated and running the xx network software. ● Communication: A way to communicate with the network and other users using mix packets so that there is no leaking of information about the data being sent or the linkage between sender and recipient. ● Governance: A democratic governance system that enforces the transparent operation of the network and empowers users to participate.

| 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? | where corporations and governments could manipulate and control the public through the gathering of data. It also described the first architecture enabling users, through cryptography, to take control over their own information. Since then, most of the world’s information networks have chosen to place user data in the hands of organizations rather than the individuals from whom it is gathered. Whether by accident or by design, these networks have violated privacy, leaked vital information, spied on intimate conversations, sold personal details to the highest bidder, and facilitated the manipulation of public opinion and elections. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Quantum computers work in a fundamentally different way from current computing systems. In essence, computers today work with bits that hold a value of 0 or 1. A quantum bit (qubit) can exist in multiple states at once. Once quantum computers become more mainstream, existing encryption systems will become redundant as they will be able to crack current encryption systems in seconds with the computing power of just your smartphone (assuming your smartphone was run using quantum computing). i think decentralized systems or centralized systems will both be faced with the threat. so xx network is a solution to cope with the "quantum crack". that is a good thing .come on. |
please be notice an uptime from 65% will not be enough.
Good application I agree with Hehet
Thanks a lot.
I’m staying concerned the XX network and Node,A decentralized, global network of conventional servers, each independently owned/operated and running the xx network software. A democratic governance system that enforces the transparent
operation of the network and empowers users to participate.
Good luck and have a nice day.
You have the text copied from the recommendations as the equipment. What exactly are you using?
Please specify the specifications that you will use to run the node
A lot of answers with large chunks of info copied and pasted from the XX Whitepaper and other websites???
Can you please provide your own views? The questions I refer to are:
- What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform?
- 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.
- 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?
4)In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?

thank you.
thank you，we will cost more time in it,we are a team,not one person.
Thank you very much，we will cost more time in the Node,we are a team,not one person.
Thanks for your reply. because the whitepaper is very good ,i can’t express better than it,so i copy some contents.
in one words, decentration,more safety is our goal, XX is one of the tools to get it.
