Why do you want to be a node? | I want to contribute to the field of DeFi and safe digital space. |
How did you originally hear about the xx network? | Word of Mouth |
Which current xx network communities are you a member of? |
|
Are you an active member of those communities? | Yes |
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? | Careful operation with metadata, privacy by default, good network speed. |

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 |
|
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | Since I am here, I naturally choose decentralized networks. I like the decision-making, management and economic approach there better. Distributed networks are prone to centralization and consolidation of control in the hands of one person or company. |
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 platform offers quantum resistance, improved cryptocurrency, shredding of metadata for privacy, and anonymity. And the anonymity here is at such a level that the receiver and sender data cannot be traced, they are completely hidden. |
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? | I only started to think about this issue when I got into blockchain. It's probably hard to even imagine how much information the internet stores about me now; it limits my freedom as an individual. |
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | Cryptography could suffer. Such computers could easily figure out users' private keys using public keys. |

Quite good
It’s yes from me
Application is worthy
Did you even looked at our documentation? Before you want to do something, you need to read and study it.
Starlink offers different plans btw.
It was not a criticism of the xx network. I answered that question based on my past experience. Other networks have lacked that. Now I see that the documentation of this project is fine. I am very happy about that.
Good application and you react to comment fast enough. I vote
Thanks for the reply, normally if you want to get involved in something new, you research the project before investing time and money, right? About the documentation you should know we have very clear, step by step guides like our wiki page for example.
Has my support

Looks good
