At long last we have an alpha release of the storage node software!
Oratr is the SPK Networks desktop app. It allows you to run SPK Network infrastructure with nearly no hassle.
Oratr wraps the all new spk-js which will allow SPK Network features at any website! We've built a graphql DB, HoneyGraph, that transforms HoneyComb data into an easy to digest structure. Which all means you'll be able to access your SPK Network files anywhere...

Not all the project features are in all the project places, but I believe most of the rest of the work is just making things work better, and not making things work. I'd love to invite everyone to try out the SPK network in what ever capacity you want. Run a HoneyComb Node, run Honeygraph, download Oratr... integrate the DEX or File Explorer into your website... support IPFS-HLS video!
Our goal is to test and improve the features and functioning of the network... when we transition out of a test network we intend to bring the file data from the testnet to the live net. You should be able to store your public / social files here with the expectation they'll be here longer than the test network.
We have discord servers like dlux & SPK Network

The Initial Proposal was 47 months ago and had some lofty goals. I have been involved now for 42 months and today most of those goals have been achieved in some manner or another. HoneyGraph enables CDN, Oratr has video transcoding... it's a complex monster of a project but it was built on Hive, with no native smart contract support.
I know Lines of Code is a terrible metric, Bill Gates once said it's like measuring the efficiency of an airplane by how much it weighs... But it does represent work.

For me personally, that's $3,595 a month, minus expenses like running servers. Which is still less than half of what I was making at my previous job. At market rate that's roughly 1 year of paid dev work.
This is a $2-4 million dollar project in the US(which Mark, Nathan and I are citizens of), and should have been handled by a team of 8-12.
I personally can't continue to build on Hive full-time with out the support of the DHF. I believe I have lost roughly $600,000 building here for the past 8 years. SPK tokens were airdropped based on Hive holding, I won't gain much from their value either.
To that end Proposal 322 has been unfunded since the first week of May. Mark and I would greatly appreciate your support.
