  • Other (please specify): Solana (Tour de Sol 14), Agoric, Vega, Chia Project
What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported? I want full customization, decentralization and more privacy. Good network bandwidth in order to send a large number of transactions.
What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node? Since my server will be located at my home, I will be in full control of the situation regarding anything.
What is the maximum upload bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? 750
What is the maximum download bandwidth in megabits per second your node can provide? 710
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. 17.95 euro cents per kilowatt-hour
On a monthly basis, how much time can you publicly commit to dedicating toward governance if you were selected as a BetaNet node operator?` 95
In what type of environment would this server be located? Personal Home
If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). CD Telematika
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. I won't buy a server there
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)? AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 64 RAM, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, Samsung 970 PRO SSD 1TB
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. My Hardware is pretty good
Why do you want to be a node? Supporting progress is the most exciting thing to me. Decentralized platforms create a new economy and ethic. I'm always happy to get involved in something like that.
How did you originally hear about the xx network? Bitcointalk
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Discord
  • BetaNet Forum
Are you an active member of those communities? No
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? I think that xx Network is on its way to creating the most faithful decentralized finance. That's what I like and am interested in. The xx Messenger with which you can control your cryptocurrency wallets is of particular interest.
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? Solana
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:
    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. No
    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
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? Distributed networks still have too much control, which prevents them from being more private and thus less secure. For this reason I am in favor of decentralization.
    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 high perfomant platform with private and security features. The platform provides secure and optionally denominated digital currency, a breakthrough consensus algorithm and blockchain protocol, a decentralized, global network of conventional servers and a democratic governance system.
    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? Here I fully support the developers' vision, so I will answer in their words. "Your life should be yours."
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I won't speculate at length. The danger is there, such computers are the best at doing big calculations. So our passwords and addresses are at risk.
