Provides peer to peer incentivised, offchain storage, content deliver networks and encoding of content as well as offchain content indexing, easy to spin up content platforms amongst other things such as community liquidity pools, wrapping hive to btc and community tokens

This reminds me the following intro scene of Queen of the Dragon (in game of thrones)

MISSANDEI INTRODUCING DAENERYS TARGARYEN TO JON SNOW

You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.

@neopch - Can you do a mix video of above context? It will gain a lot of traction.

@neopch / @starkerz giving intro of @threespeak (in the way Missandei gave intro of Queen of Dragon)

When you say off-chain storage is it more focused on persistence or integrity of data? For instance, IPFS is great until no one is storing the files any longer. Is this an additional layer on top of an existing technology or is it completely novel?

it allows platforms or communities or creators to autonomously incentivise peers with crypto for storing data on IPFS. nothing else like it out there

So essentially it's a layer written on top of IPFS? What's the expected cost and estimated persistence of the data?

The system is built so that the market will sort that out to the cheapest possible, longest storage period. When ppl are using spare storage space and agreeing on variable time locked storage contracts, the market will find its way

So free market economics. I'm down with that.

We are working with SPK to build the next generation of BTC, LTC, DOGE and more wrapping onto HIVE in a fully decentralzied secure and autonomous manner.

What value does VSC offer that HiveEngine could not? I have some assumptions, but I was curious about your take.

Here is a list:

  • Wrapping as stated above, but actually decentralized whereas Hive Engine is one account doing all sending/receiving of tokens
  • Versatile and open smart contract engine. Smart contracts on Hive Engine are closed and only approved persons may deploy smart contracts. Hive Engine restricts smart contracts to be only "common use cases", meaning dapps needing custom smart contracts are out of luck.
  • Smart contract interface: we plan to build a powerful smart contract interface that will unlock many more use cases not supported by Hive Engine. For example being able to create a Hive account & control it using smart contract code directly.
  • Offchain & scalable: most transactions can remain offchain reducing chain bloat & competition for resources long term
  • This list will only grow as time goes on

Hive Engine only focuses on a set of a few use cases. VSC aims to handle so much more.

I suspected a lot of this. EVM based engine or something else completely?

JS based engine
