Do you already own sufficient hardware to meet the published xx network BetaNet Node specifications (found here)? Ryzen 9 3900X, DDR4 32GB, Samsung PRO 1TB M.2 Nvidia RTX 3070
Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below:
Why do you want to be a node? Using quantum technology is a good idea.
How did you originally hear about the xx network? xx collective
Which current xx network communities are you a member of?
  • Discord
  • BetaNet Forum
Are you an active member of those communities? No
What specifically, interests you about the xx network platform? quantum security.
Outside of xx network communities, are you an active participant in other node or developer community groups? If so, which ones? No
Have you ever attended a blockchain conference? If so, which one(s)? No
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 promote quantum secure distributed systems
    • To earn xx coins
    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world
    • To undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? Centralized networks control and they are concentrated in one place, while decentralized networks are distributed and cannot be controlled by one body or 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. Leveraging Quantum Technology Increased Focus on Security
    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? As there is less chance of losing personal data
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Centralized systems will be controlled in one place with very high powers and are easier to hack, for decentralized ones, everything is better, but they might be susceptible to attacks, since the power of quantum computers can allow it, but they are distributed over different lasing, so it is more difficult for them to harm or disrupt their work, unlike centralized ones.

    Looks quite good

    It isn’t that different compared to your previous application…

    What changes are you particularly interested in?
    When it comes to the components of the node, then I can put them better if the specification requires it!
    If about the answers to the questions, then these are my thoughts, I think so! what should I change in your opinion?

    Thanks for the support and the voice.

    looks good, the candidate is suitable for launching the network in my opinion. have my vote

    It isn’t about the specs of the node because those are fine. Since you weren’t accepted last time, I personally would give other answers than your previous application.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Thanks for the vote

    Looks good, my vote is for you :+1:
