  • Ethereum (ETH, ETC, etc)
What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? Before the node ecological governance and data security are not very good, I hope to see XX network can have a surprise on these two points
What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? NO

What is a reasonable uptime estimate you can provide for your BetaNet node? 90
Please estimate the cost of electricity in the geographic area where your BetaNet node will be running. $4-7
On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` 91
In what type of environment would this server be located? University / Academic Institution
If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). China Mobile
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? No
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 XX network can have a great impact on the future decentralized network, and even become the infrastructure of the future decentralized society, so I think I can also participate in it and contribute my own strength
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Word of Mouth
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
Are you an active member of those communities? Yes
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? Encrypted communication, digital asset security improvement, user privacy protection, etc
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? XCH,bzz
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? Beijing International blockchain Conference
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. I can set up nodes, maintain nodes, post on social platforms, 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 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? 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.
    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 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
    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. It can only be realized on decentralized network. The purpose of xxnetwork is exactly this
    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. 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.
