This is my application. I wanted to expand on my answer about “value proposition”. I don’t completely understand all the aspects of the system as a whole nor do I claim to comprehend the full potential of Elixxir. I’m a tech guy. I’ve seen many discussions on the discord channel that are over my head. I’ve skimmed conversations about cryptography, algorithms, storage solutions, use cases, marketing ideas, etc. To me the most important thing is the messaging layer. That is what I’m most interested in helping support. How people choose to make use of the network will add to the value. I’m capable of maintaining a node. There are brilliant thinkers, futurists and developers that see light years ahead of me. I’m just a simple guy who hopes to participate in a way I’m capable. So the value to me, is to participate.
