| 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 am a very enthusiastic fan of the field. I participated in many projects and even when I didn't get an award I was still glad I got the experience. |
| How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Word of Mouth |
| Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
| Are you an active member of those communities? | No |
| What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | All the main features of the xx network: hash-based cryptography, quantum security, capability of scaling linearly, xx consensus, cMix, xx messenger. All of this I want to explore as best I can and get up to speed! |
| Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? | Covalent |
| Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? | No |
| 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: | |

| 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? | A decentralized network always focuses on a large number of validator nodes and democracy. Distributed networks are more of a commercial story, where you just need to boost performance to make money. |
| 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 stronghold of democracy and decentralization. I think that this platform will be a good example for others . It's just that so far I haven't seen analogues of xx network. There is no platform that is so concerned about privacy and protection of its users. There is no platform that touches on social and even a little bit political issues on the Internet. I think that joining xx network or buying the assets of this platform is the best investment for the digital future. |
| 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 control oppresses people. We can observe that the happiest and wealthiest people live where there is no infringement of their rights by those who have power. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | This technology is dangerous. I don't think people should have so much power in their hands. The human factor will always take over and then all systems will suffer. The centralized ones will be the first. |
