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? Only when I become a node, can I know whether XX network can achieve the purpose mentioned in the white paper, and I think XX network may be the infrastructure of decentralized community in the future, so I want to know more about it
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Word of Mouth
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Twitter
Are you an active member of those communities? Yes
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? What I am interested in is whether XX network can really do as mentioned in the white paper or better
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? EOS,BZZ
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? Shanghai International 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:
  • Other: Wechat community
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. I am able to maintain the node, issue documents for the node, entry review, 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
  • 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? 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 messenger is ready to use XX network is a quantum resistant blockchain, which realizes the privacy protection of user metadata for the first time, and 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
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? Privacy should be owned and controlled by everyone. This requirement is contradictory to the current structure of centralized network, and can only be realized on decentralized network. 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. XX network can better solve this problem
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? 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. 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. Therefore, we need to find a decentralized system that can protect our digital assets from quantum computer attacks.
