| 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? | more decentralized and easier to build |
| What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? | No applications run on the network, only for mining |
| What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000M |
| What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? | 1000M |
| What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? | 95 |
| Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. | 0.089kwh |

| Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? | CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, AMD Ryzen 5 3600x, Intel Core i9-9980HK GPU Nvidia Turing, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 or greater RAM 16 GB DDR4 or more Storage 1 TB High Speed Enterprise NVMe (PCI) SSD |
| 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? | knew this project in July,2018 on Distribute conference in S.F. and have followed it for 2 years. Privacy protection is one of my biggest concerns. It is a great honor to be one of the first nodes in China |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | My friends in NewAchemy and Distribute conference in S.F.(Speech of David Chaum but the project has not been named yet) |
| 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? | Messaging and transaction with more secured and hide metadata |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | polkadot and filecoin |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | Wanxiang conferences every year in Shanghai, Distribute conferences in 2018/2019, Web3 conferences in 2019/2020 |
| 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. | 3-4 in Chinese |
| 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? | On a decentralized network, people have more privacy and power, and the ownership of their data is personal. The data of a centralized network is controlled and controlled by a centralized organization |
| 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 constructs a high-performance, high-security privacy network at the bottom, and realizes value transmission, smart contract, MPC, etc., which 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? | It is more efficient and more secure to solve privacy protection in the bottom layer than in the application layer |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Decentralized systems are built on public-private-key crypto systems, and quantum computers can easily crack public-private-key crypto systems, all of which could destroy most of today's public chains like Bitcoin |
need an explanation on the hardware
Yet another with remarkably similar answers to a lot of the questions???
