Hello Hive Fam ๐๐
Hope you all are doing amazing, powered up, and stacking Hive like true blockchain warriors ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ!
This time, instead of pure technical tinkering, I bring you a resource-driven update. Yesโฆ more servers, more bandwidth, more headaches ๐
, but ALL for Hive! ๐๐
๐ Allocating Resources for Hive
As many of you know, I am a Hive Witness, and that means responsibilities, uptime nightmares โฐ, and of course, running shiny nodes for the Hive blockchain ๐.
Hereโs what Iโm running right now and whatโs cooking in the future kitchen ๐ณ:
โ Running Nodes
- ๐ข Hive Witness Node
- ๐ข Hive API/RPC Node โ https://hive-api.sagarkothari88.one
- ๐ข VSC (Witness) Node
- ๐ข Union Indexer Node
- ๐ข 3Speak Video Encoder Nodes
๐ ๏ธ Planned Nodes
- ๐งโ๐ป Hive Engine Node
- ๐งโ๐ป Hive Engine RPC Node
- ๐งโ๐ป DLUX Node
- ๐งโ๐ป DUAT Node
- ๐งโ๐ป SPKCC Node
- ๐งโ๐ป Spk Storage Nodes
๐ก If you think I missed an important node that could boost Hive, drop your suggestions in the comments below โฌ๏ธ and Iโll see what I can do. ๐งโ๐
๐ Hive Witness Node
Running as a Hive Witness for a long time nowโwith just 48 blocks missed ๐ค. Not bad, right?
โญ If youโve got a spare Witness Vote, smash that button and show some love โค๏ธ.
๐ Hive API Node
Running Hive API Node right from my home ๐ก (yes, with all the insane electricity and internet bills ๐ธ๐คฃ).
Available at: https://hive-api.sagarkothari88.one.
Itโs listed on peakd.com, and only a few Hive warriors run these nodesโIโm proud to be one of them ๐.
๐ VSC (Witness) Node
The future is cross-chain! โก
Iโm also running a VSC Node (Virtual Smart Chain). Think interoperability on steroids โจ powered by Hive with ZK proofs and secure wrap protocols. Pretty cool, right?
๐ฅ 3Speak Video Encoder Nodes
Guess whoโs powering your videos? Yup, me ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ช
Iโm running the most number of encoder nodes for 3Speak. It eats up insane internet bandwidth ๐, but hey, no pain no gain for Hive ๐.
Even with ISP headaches (hello internet drops ๐), I keep them running!
Fun fact: Recently, @eddiespino also joined this mission of running encoders. Teamwork makes Hive work ๐ฏ.
๐ Union Indexer Node
My latest addition = Union Indexer Node ๐
Link: https://union-indexer.sagarkothari88.one/api/v2/graphql
In @vaultecโs words:
Union Indexer handles all the cool advanced stuff Hive APIs donโtโtag filtering, text search, comment count magic, and better data parsing. Without it, say goodbye ๐ to text search (and hello to frustration ๐ฅฒ).
So far, only @threespeak had been running it. And nowโฆ tadaaa ๐ฉโจโIโm part of the Union Indexer Gang too! ๐
Find details here: github.com/spknetwork/union-indexer-node
๐ฎ Whatโs Next?
Coming soon to a server near you ๐คฉ:
- ๐งโ๐ป Hive Engine Node
- ๐งโ๐ป Hive Engine RPC Node
- ๐งโ๐ป DLUX Node
- ๐งโ๐ป DUAT Node
- ๐งโ๐ป SPKCC Node
- ๐งโ๐ป Spk Storage Nodes
Stay tuned! Iโll keep spinning up nodes like popcorn ๐ฟ until Hive becomes unstoppable ๐.
๐ฆพ Power-Up the Hive! ๐๐
- ๐ช Making Hive stronger, one node at a time
- ๐งโโ๏ธ Open-source = my spellbook, your code = magic
- ๐ Hive rocket โ MOON mode ๐โจ (upvotes not guaranteed but vibes 100%)
๐ Support, Laughs & Hive-Vibes
- Want more Hive magic? Cast your Witness Vote for me ๐
- Memes, jokes, or pure Hive-love โ always welcome โค๏ธ๐คฃ
Until next timeโBYEEE ๐๐
Stay buzzing, Hive Bees ๐โก

Awesome @sagarkothari88!
I wanted to share this with you:
https://github.com/eddiespino/video-encoder
I forked the video encoder from the @spknetwork GitHub and added some instructions.
