| 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? | In decentralised networks, management is put in the hands of the participants, thereby eliminating any centralization. Sometimes distributed networks are of the decentralized type, but it is also possible that part of the management will be centralized. For example, the network will be managed from several centres - the main nodes. I believe that our society is conscious enough to move to full decentralization and manage its own lives. |
| 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. | I have highlighted for myself the 4 main advantages of the xx Network. The first is that the platform provides more secure transactions. The second is that these same transactions will be fast enough to compete with traditional platforms. Third, the xx Network will meet not only financial needs but also social ones. Fourth - an incredible level of scalability in the future. |
| 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? | There are so many insecure platforms and networks on the internet. They always cooperate with authorities, big institutions and monopolists in order to sell your information on the convenient way. You are the only person who has your data and you do not want others to harm you. |
| In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? | So far, few see this as a potential and serious threat to decentralization. |
