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? Nowadays, decentralized networks are getting more and more popular. So I am more familiar with them. They are attractive to me because of their openness and accessibility.
    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. The xx Network platform is designed to prevent any kind of leakage of user data. It is absolute protection and privacy, and also an essential step towards the creation of a new internet.
    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 by default will give new life to the internet, I am sure. We are now seeing a crisis of trust because of networks that have put users' data at risk. How can you use a platform that you don't trust? You can't. These transformations that David Chaum and others are talking about can restore that trust.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I think I need to gain more knowledge in this field to answer this question. So far, I only have a hunch that such a danger exists, as scientists talk about the incredibly high computing power of quantum computers.

    Comparing this application with your previous one, it is exactly the same. There is obviously no effort put into this and no response on your voters…

    Good evening. I’m very sorry you feel that way. All the answers are consistent with my worldview, so I haven’t changed them. I am the kind of person who does not disassociate myself from my thoughts and opinions.
