Why do you want to be a node? I want to have a deeper understanding of XX network. Now I only have a shallow understanding in the white paper of XX network and some interpretation articles about XX network on the network, so I want to know more about it by becoming a node
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Word of Mouth
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Facebook
Are you an active member of those communities? Yes
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? XX network can guarantee user data privacy and resist quantum computer in the future
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? EOS,nest,bzz
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? Domestic blockchain conferences are basically participated in
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 willing to create content for XX network and nodes and actively participate in it
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 the privacy of political speech
  • 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? I support decentralized networks Because compared with the centralized network, although the decentralized network is not perfect for the time being, we can enjoy fair voting rights and personal data privacy, which can not be achieved by the centralized network. All the rights of the centralized network are in the hands of its institutions or organizations. In the future, it will develop to a decentralized network, which is an inevitable trend
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 blockchain against quantum computer in the future XX network realizes the privacy protection of user metadata XX network has established a privacy network which can realize value transmission and smart contract, and the network can ensure high performance and high security XX messenger is already in 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? Because privacy can only be secure if it is in your own hands. Now the network is controlled by big companies, they use our privacy data to obtain huge economic benefits, it is impossible to let them give up to protect our privacy.
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? First of all, the centralized system does not always use the public key private key encryption system, so the quantum computer will not have a great impact on it. The decentralized system uses this set of encryption system, which can be easily cracked by quantum computer, which will cause many public chains to be affected or even destroyed directly. Quantum computer will come one day. We need to find a blockchain that can resist quantum computer attacks as soon as possible to ensure that our digital assets will not be lost
