  • Discord
  • BetaNet Forum
Are you an active member of those communities? Yes

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
    • 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? Personally, the main difference for me is the position of the network members. Distributed networks have a manager and subordinate nodes. Here, power will be distributed unequally, which can lead to network errors. The situation is different in decentralized networks. All members are on an equal footing. No one personally makes the rules, there's a consensus for that.
    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. Privacy protection, a high level of anonymity, and the ability to resist quantum attacks. Also, a unique coin that will ensure decentralization and prevent someone validator from consolidating power.
    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 an essential part of our lives. Without it, people can lose everything. There is a lot of personal information on the internet. People put it out there without thinking about the fact that, at the moment, that data is easy to steal. Everyone is at enormous risk, and it shouldn't be that way, because it's a path to nowhere.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I don't know what we can expect from such technology as a quantum computer. Research doesn't give us accurate information.

    What should I add to my application? I studied the project for the first time and answered all the questions myself. Does it make sense to change them? My opinion has not changed in any way during this time.
