Ok, I had to do a little research into SPK and of course its is tied to @threespeak. I love threespeak's functionality.
How will acquiring SPK further help threespeak grow? The answers seem obvious and just to hodl SPK but do you have a post on the matter?
Is there ideas about how to better incentivize BROCA to be used as a tipping function since tipping already exists for the consumer on the first layer. Maybe threespeak is on other chains, im not sure but that would make sense of that was the case.
BROCA hodling would be cool if you wanted to host a friend. It seems kinda of like liquid mana or gas.
So many questions, but im new here so I am sure they will be answered as I follow along.
SPK provides 3speak (a skin) the ability to have censorship-resistant hosting. Right now, users can self-host with the desktop app, seed other videos, etc. Without a proper incentive mechanism, only a few people at best will store content for free. We have been doing it for years to support Hive with evergreen video content. We have succeeded in that, all the while building a solution to take the burden off of us or any entity's shoulders.
So SPK will help scale 3speak storage in a big way.
BROCA is akin to resource credits on Hive, except they are fungible. The big difference is, RC's are for a blockchain, whereas BROCA is for IPFS storage. Blockchain storage is forever, percent, whereas IPFS is flexible. Therefore, RC's swing in cost on the network to use due to bandwidth being used whereas BROCA does not; it can be a fixed price set by an oracle because IPFS storage + PoA (proof of access) in theory is infinite; of course, it has limits, but there is no "bandwidth" or blocksize when it comes to IPFS.
I think that SPK is one of the few second layer tokens I personally would find value in acquiring for the long term then. Love the user friendly experience, videos typically play and bandwidth isn't throttled like with dtube was back in the day.
Im assuming your strictly Hive, at least in relation to blockchains like Hive.
I love what you(and your team?) are doing and would only get the SPK token just to support threespeak and not for high %apr. Hive is a long term investment for me.
Any plans for live streaming?
Yes! Part of the SPK network will incorporate a custom made live streaming protocol for distributed/decentralized live video.
Thank you! Do you know when it will be available on hive engine?
SPK Network? We are not going to be part of hive engine.
