I just noticed that you mentioned 3Speak getting funding from the DHF. For clarification, 3Speak has never received a single cent from the DHF.
SPK Network was funded by the DHF. It is a method for rewarding users for storing content off chain on IPFS storage servers. SPK Network was finished in August according to the developer. He then wanted the community to pay him 300K HBD for him to assist projects to integrate it into their front ends so that users could get rewarded for backing up platform content off chain. Of course we dont support the community being held to ransom like that and so have disassociated ourselves from this developer.
Dan and I will now work on a way to implement a simple way to earn from backing up Hive content off-chain and being rewarded for it. Unfortunately, this will not be the SPK Network however.
