Why do you want to run a node in the xx network
  • To protect private personal communication around health and lifestyle issues from mass surveillance and abuse by centralized organizations

  • 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? I prefer decentralized networks, because decentralized networks allow everyone to have the same voting rights, and everyone can control their own data, but centralized networks can't
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. XX messenger can be used now. Xxnetwork builds an efficient and secure network environment from the bottom, and can realize value transmission on it. Xxnetwork is the future trend
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? Because the online malicious is very rampant, it is difficult to safeguard rights, and it can establish a line of defense to keep the right of privacy. Privacy is a very important issue for users! For enterprises, too! Why is this a very important question? Because your privacy means data. In the era of big data-driven artificial intelligence, data means the golden mountain and silver mountain of enterprises. Take e-commerce as an example. If e-commerce enterprises can know what you have seen, what you have collected, what you have in the shopping cart and what you have bought, they can accurately guess your shopping habits and recommend things that you may not have thought about but really need.
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Decentralized system is easier to be cracked by quantum computer than centralized system. We don't know when quantum computer will arrive, but we have to be prepared before the day of arrival to find a decentralized system that can protect our own assets
