Always grateful for the wonderful job the team is doing and to have brought us 3Speak.
Have used it for a long time now and seeing extra updates on the specifics, is nice to see now and then to get an idea, just how much is being done!

We are very very close to fully updated, smoothly operating products now. Exciting times!

That's heaps exciting then! Look forward to seeing how smooth it all will run and I noticed for awhile, the upload times have been a lot faster which is a massive thing for everyone to have!

Upload times will get even faster, we will do instant publish and then encode in the back ground. Just need some time to build it. It’s on the list for later

I have no words, just highly impressed but not surprised. Keen for that but take your time and keep working on all the things on the list, we have faith in the team. 😃

Lol what are you doing to those poor developers!? @threespeak

A typo or Grammarly being a troll. Lol.

Grammarly AI trolls

Wonderful, I know that little by little many improvements have been made to the platform. I use 3speak a lot and anything that helps is a great improvement. I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if there was an automatic way to have subtitles, especially translations. I know it's a lot to ask and I don't know if it's been mentioned in meetings, but it would save a lot of lives hehe... Excellent work @threespeak and @spknetwork team 🏆

We should see what we can do with @hivecuba for their translation capabilities regards to this. Seems there might be an opportunity there

Happy to help in any way we can. Just let us know.

What interesting changes in general.

Sagar is doing a fabulous job, my congratulations to him.

Everything they are doing is impressive, the truth is they are advancing quickly.

Nice teamwork!

It is getting to the point where a lot of great changes are going to come all at once, all of a sudden. we have so much coming up soon. Glad you enjoy what is happening.

@sagarkothari88 is a legend!!

The pace at which they are advancing is really very impressive, that is very positive for hive and the truth is I am very excited to see the new changes in the spk network.

I look forward to the moment when 3speak is as important a reference as YT. =D (and I know we can achieve that challenge)

Yes, we do too. if you are running the desktop app, it cant be shut down. once spk network is being used fully to help back up the content, its so incredibly powerful. looking forwards to going into test net imminently!!

What you mention is very important, I am going to mention it among my contacts because I am sure they do not know and it is a very interesting function.

I will be very attentive to the test, from now on I follow you so as not to miss the notification friend.

very happy with the updates

So are we. exciting times!

Seems like you lot got your hands busy :)

Keep up the great work and make Hive Blockchain greater than ever!

Thank you!!! Doing everything we can! by hook or by crook!

I like the fact that the update keeps coming and as a three speak user I sure am happy about the updates going on.
Great job team threespeak

We have put a system in place now so that these updates should come more often and give a better understanding of what we are working on and what we have done. Hopefully this gives you and the wider community a better understanding of all the amazing work the Devs here are doing!

really great updates! keep them coming. How far away are we from the full release?

We are about to test the sign up system. In a couple weeks we will be running test environment for the release of the new version of 3speak. Let’s say a couple months testing and we should release by end of year.

SPK Network testnet should be out in a week or two. Maybe sooner. Let’s see
