| For which networks have you ever operated a node? |
|
| What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? | I hope xxnetwork can learn from the previous experience and make the ecology better |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | No, I can solve them all |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000 |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000 |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 86 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 7 dollars |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 88 |
| In what type of environment would this server be located? | University / Academic Institution |
| If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). | Hong Kong Telecom, China |
| 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. | NO |
| 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)? | Modern High-End Consumer grade CPU (8 physical/16 logical cores) ● 32GB RAM ●1TB SSD storage ● Mid-Range modern GPU with 32-bit Mul Units (Example: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 or RTX 3060Ti) ●100Mbps internet connection |
| 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? | I know that the goal of xxnetwork is to protect the privacy of all users. If I become a node, I can also contribute to the protection of personal privacy in the Internet era |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? | |
| Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | I'm particularly interested to see how xxnetwork can protect users' privacy |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | There was before, but that was several years ago. Now they only focus on primary market and secondary market investment |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | I have attended almost all the blockchain conferences in China |
| 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. | My work is arranged according to my actual situation on the premise that I can become one of the nodes |
| 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? | According to my understanding, each node in the decentralized network is independently operated and jointly maintained, while the centralized network is operated and maintained by institutions or organizations, so the decentralized network is relatively stable. In addition, participants in the decentralized network have fair voting rights. To sum up, I personally value the decentralized network more |
| 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. | In my opinion, XX network is a blockchain that can fight against quantum computers. It is the infrastructure of a decentralized society in the future, and now XX messenger can be used |
| 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? | As far as network privacy is concerned, people in this era have almost no privacy on the Internet. All big companies are collecting users' privacy data. It is impossible for them to give up. Privacy should be freely controlled by everyone, which can only be realized on a decentralized network |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | We don't know when the quantum computer will come, but we need to protect it in advance. Before the quantum computer arrives, we need to find a blockchain that can protect our digital assets. Obviously, the xxnetwork is born for this |
need an explanation on the hardware
Yet again …Very, very similar answers to the last 4 questions to many other applications from China. The same phrases with the same wording???
