Just this week Elixxir has selected the 600 node applicants to build the base for their BetaNet program! The focus for the BetaNet is to initially run a cMix network with five node teams all across the globe. The cMix protocol was designed by David Chaum to successfully obscure transactions driving full privacy and scalability.
You can learn more about their node selection process and the breakdown directly from their website:

I know the XRP army is pretty excited about this project. Would be interesting to see how many XRP fans are now running nodes
rmilly, not only XMR army but a lot of investors outside from the XRP community are watching it right now.
