| 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? | Instead of hoping that XX network can improve other things, I hope that XX network can open up geographical restrictions and let more people integrate into it |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | NO |
| 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? | 92 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | It's expected to be $9 |
| On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` | 92 |
| 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). | PCCW |
| 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? | Our company has its own mines and technical service teams all over the country |
| 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: | I have been prepared strictly according to the official standard equipment |
| Why do you want to be a node? | Because xxnetwork can build a new generation network that can protect users' privacy and security, and can resist the threat of quantum computing, I am very interested in it. If I can become a node of xxnetwork, I will have a deeper understanding, and at the same time, I can promote it to my friends and colleagues |
| 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 interested in everything about XX network, especially in user privacy |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | FILCOIN |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | Shanghai blockchain conference, Beijing blockchain conference, etc |
| 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. | Set up nodes, social software, etc |
| 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 networks give everyone the right to vote, and people have the same right to vote. On the decentralized network, people have more privacy and rights, and the ownership of data belongs to individuals. The data of the centralized network is controlled by the centralized organization. In the decentralized network, each node operates independently, and the centralized network is started and maintained by an organization. Decentralized network is more stable. I prefer decentralized networks |
| 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 network is a quantum resistant blockchain XX network realizes the privacy protection of user's metadata for the first time XX network constructs a high-performance, high security privacy network at the bottom, and realizes value transmission, smart contract, MPC and so on. It is the infrastructure of the future decentralized society XX messenger is ready to use |
| 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? | It is more efficient and secure to solve the problem of privacy protection in the underlying network than in the application layer. The existing major networks are controlled by large companies. It is almost impossible for them to give up their economic interests and protect users' data privacy through self-restraint. Privacy should be owned and controlled by everyone. This requirement is contradictory to the current structure of centralized network. It can only be realized on decentralized network. This is the purpose of xxnetwork. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | The decentralized system is based on the public private key encryption system. Quantum computer can easily crack the public private key encryption system, and it is likely to destroy most of the current public chains such as bitcoin. We don't know when quantum computer will come, but it will certainly come, so we need to prepare for that day and find a decentralized system that can protect our digital assets from quantum computer attacks. Because not all centralized systems use public key private key encryption system, quantum computer will not have a great impact on it, or centralized systems have more centralized solutions for anti quantum computer. |
need an explanation on the hardware
Very, very similar answers to the last 4 questions to many other applications from China. The same phrases with the same wording??
