    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? In a decentralized network, there will never be a single control centre. In a distributed network, the existence of the latter is possible.
    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. First of all it is a new kind of hash-based cryptography. Cryptocurrency, which will resemble cash in real money, cannot be overlooked.
    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? It is very funny to see how corporations and various government agencies justify the disclosure of personal data on the grounds that it will make it easier for them to catch criminals and bad people. In practice, however, only ordinary people suffer from this. It is just another way of controlling us.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? There is a lot of debate about this. One says that it is impossible to run such a computer so that it runs at full power, and therefore there is no danger. Others argue the opposite, stating that our private keys can easily be decrypted. Personally, I am inclined to think that it is more reliable to provide the best level of protection to spare ourselves any problems.
