Examples would be node setup & on-boarding review vlog post, bi-weekly twitter update, medium review of on-going node operational process, etc. Node setting and entry review of vlog posts, updating Twitter every two weeks, mid-term review of the ongoing node operation process, 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? A decentralized network can achieve fair voting, so that everyone has more privacy, rights and data, rather than focusing on one company, institution or organization. The nodes in the distributed network are shielded, but the centralized network can not. I prefer a decentralized network
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 will be able to fight against quantum computers in the future XX network constructs a high-performance, high security privacy network at the bottom, and realizes value transmissionsociety, smart contract, MPC and so on. It is the infrastructure of the future decentralized
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? The existing major networks are controlled by large companies. It is almost impossible for them to give up their economic interests and protect users' data privacy through self-restraint. Privacy should be owned and controlled by everyone. This requirement is contradictory to the current structure of centralized network, and can only be realized on decentralized network
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? We need to find a decentralized system that can protect our digital assets from quantum computer attacks before the arrival of quantum computer. 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. The opposite is true of decentralized systems

Looks good to me :+1:
