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 ● Modern Medium/Low-End Consumer grade CPU (2 physical/4 logical cores)● 4GB RAM● 256 GB SSD storage● 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 think to understand a thing is not only to look at the surface of things, but to get results from practice. I just know XX network from white papers and other people's mouth may not be enough, so I want to be a node
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? User privacy protection
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? DOT,NEST
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? Shanghai International blockchain conference, Shenzhen blockchain top 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: micro-blog
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 don't think the commitment I made before I became a node will work. I need to arrange it according to the actual situation
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? Decentralized network can operate independently and be maintained by all participants. The centralized network is operated and maintained by all institutions, so the decentralized network is more stable and fair. I'm optimistic about 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 has now built a privacy network that can achieve high performance, high security, value transmission, smart contract and so on. It is a future blockchain against quantum computer
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 is very important to everyone. Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, personal privacy is being sold everywhere. This is also the drawback of centralized network. The decentralized network can solve this problem well, and return the privacy to everyone, which is also the purpose of XX network
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? We all know that if the encryption system of decentralized system is attacked by quantum computer, it will be easily cracked, which will lead to an unprecedented impact on most of the existing public chains. Before quantum computers come, we need to find a blockchain that can protect our assets on the chain. However, most centralized systems do not use the encryption system used by decentralized systems, so centralized systems have many centralized solutions to resist quantum computers

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!!!
