Way-Point
- Spanish and Portuguese versions below.
I'm planning on doing a little more blogging about the intersection of life and technical matters. After all I've been on quite the journey both on Earth and in my understanding of distributed systems. Since March of 2020 when COVID shut a lot of the world down I've lived abroad as a digital nomad in 4 countries now. My Spanish proficiency is approaching the levels I need to do even uncommon tasks and understanding most of any conversation. My Portuguese went from 0 to comfortable in any place in Brazil. I've also started learning a couple more languages that I hope will help as I continue traveling and living abroad.
DLUX has long been a primary focus of mine, and it has lead me into new networks and diversions along the way. One such spur is helping the SPK network achieve it's vision of decentralized and paid services that will both web3 to and beyond the current web2 paradigm. DLUX has always needed some of these services and in the almost 5 years this has been a goal HIVE remains the only logical place to build it.
SPK Focus
On August 8th the SPK Claim Chain is evolving to support the bootstrapping of the SPK community. Covering the many aspects of the why's and how's seem a little redundant on this post, but feel free to visit my blog as I've posted or reblogged all sorts of pertinent information during it's development and testing. Any Hive account's will now be able to earn SPK by 'powering' up their Larynx miner tokens and 50% more by delegating to an account running a service. Of course you may also run a service and we've provided documentation to help, but many people will not recover their time or monetary investments by doing this. Delegations to nodes will help those people become more profitable as well as earn you an equal share of SPK tokens. SPK tokens will be used in the future to vote on the many variables that will determine how the SPK network operates: How many nodes, what the APR is, etc etc. These are decisions we are hoping the crowd can better choose. So in that vein I hope I am among the SPK nodes you decide to delegate to. @regardspk is my node. I also want to personally vouch for a couple more of our very active behind the scenes node runners: @spkgiles -by @markegiles, @pizza.spk -by @hivetrending and @carloaxie -by @drlobes

DLUX
DLUX's Test Site has been coming along very nice with help from @markegiles. We've implemented new systems to aid our NFT platform. Utilize better datasources for our DLUX apps and allow searching. All done with current VUE technology and in a static package. We hope to be able to replace our current site with these advancements in the coming days. DLUX is a passion project, it's always been a struggle to find out how to do new things and get it to a place where it can be as free to use as Hive. I know SPK network will help achieve many of these goals. You can even run DLUX's website as a DLUX app; which would help make it as resilient as any distributed system it runs on.
Hive Witness
Since setting up a very beefy dedicated server my witness hasn't missed any blocks. It was unaffected by the Hive-in-a-Box glitch that required a restart, and meets or exceeds my expectations in every way. My immediate plans for the server are to set up a backup HiaB witness, and be able to stream getBlock requests to Honeycomb and HiveEngine nodes to help our layer 2 resiliency. I would very much appreciate your witness vote.
Exploring Buenos Aires
In my non-technical life I've been enjoying the foods and wines of Buenos Aires recently. I've heard some rumors that some Hive Bee's may be around and if you're in the neighborhood I'd love to get together for coffee or drinks. This is an amazing city to visit, especially if your finances are dollar denominated. I do feel for the citizens of this country though, and continue to learn more about economics as inflation starts to be an issue in a much wider area.
Español:
Estoy planeando hacer un poco más de blogs sobre mi vida y cosas técnicas. Después de todo, he estado en un gran viaje tanto en la Tierra y en mi comprensión de los sistemas distribuidos. Desde marzo de 2020, cuando COVID cerró gran parte del mundo, he vivido en el extranjero como nómada digital en cuatro países ahora. Mi dominio del español se está acercando a los niveles que necesito para hacer incluso tareas poco comunes y entender la mayor parte de cualquier conversación. Mi portugués pasó de nada a cómodo en cualquier lugar de Brasil. También comencé a aprender unas de idiomas más que espero me ayuden mientras sigo viajando y viviendo en el extranjero.
DLUX ha sido durante mucho tiempo mi enfoque principal y me ha llevado a nuevas redes y diversiones en el camino. Uno de esos estímulos es ayudar a la red SPK a lograr su visión de servicios descentralizados y de pago que llevarán web3 ay más allá del actual paradigma web2. DLUX siempre ha necesitado algunos de estos servicios y en los casi cinco años este ha sido un objetivo HIVE sigue siendo el único lugar lógico para construirlo.
Enfoque SPK
El 8 de agosto, SPKCC está evolucionando para respaldar el crecimiento de la comunidad de SPK. Cubrir los muchos aspectos de por qué y cómo parece un poco redundante en esta publicación: @samgiset ha escrito El token SPK está por ser lanzado, y @jonsnow1983 ha escrito subtitulos aquí - Testnet del Token de Gobernanza de SPK Network. Cualquier cuenta de Hive ahora podrá ganar SPK activando (Powering Up) sus tokens de minero Larynx y 50% más al delegar a una cuenta que ejecuta un servicio. Por supuesto, también puede ejecutar un servicio y proporcionamos documentación para ayudarlo, pero muchas personas no recuperarán su tiempo o inversiones monetarias al hacer esto. Las delegaciones a los nodos ayudarán a esas personas a ser más rentables y le permitirán ganar una parte igual de tokens SPK. Los tokens SPK se usarán en el futuro para votar sobre las muchas variables que determinarán cómo opera la red SPK: cuántos nodos, cuáles son las tasas de interés, y más. Estas son decisiones que esperamos que la multitud pueda elegir mejor. Entonces, en ese sentido, espero estar entre los nodos SPK en los que decida delegar. @regardspk es mi nodo. También quiero responder personalmente por un par más de nuestros muy activos corredores de nodos detrás de escena: @spkgiles -por @markegiles, @pizza.spk -por @hivetrending y @carloaxie -por @drlobes
DLUX
El sitio de prueba de DLUX ha ido muy bien con la ayuda de @markegiles. Hemos implementado nuevos sistemas para ayudar a nuestra plataforma NFT. Utilice mejores fuentes de datos para nuestras aplicaciones DLUX y permita la búsqueda. Todo realizado con tecnología VUE actual y en un archivo estático. Esperamos poder reemplazar nuestro sitio actual con estos avances en los próximos días. DLUX es un proyecto apasionante, siempre ha sido una lucha descubrir cómo hacer cosas nuevas y llevarlo a un lugar donde pueda ser tan libre de usar como Hive. Sé que la red SPK ayudará a lograr muchos de estos objetivos. Incluso puede ejecutar el sitio web de DLUX como una aplicación de DLUX; lo que ayudaría a que sea tan resistente como cualquier sistema distribuido en el que se ejecute.
Testigo HIVE
Desde que configuré un servidor dedicado muy robusto, mi testigo no ha perdido ningún bloque. No se vio afectado por la falla de Hive-in-a-Box que requirió un reinicio y cumple o supera mis expectativas en todos los sentidos. Mis planes inmediatos para el servidor son configurar un testigo de Hive-in-a-Box de respaldo y poder transmitir solicitudes 'getBlock' a los nodos Honeycomb y HiveEngine para ayudar a nuestra capacidad de recuperación de nivel 2. Le agradecería mucho su voto como testigo.
Explorando Buenos Aires
En mi vida no técnica he estado disfrutando de las comidas y los vinos de Buenos Aires recientemente. Escuché algunos rumores de que puede haber algunas personas de Hive y, si estás en el vecindario, me encantaría reunirnos para tomar un café o tomar una copa. Esta es una ciudad increíble para visitar, especialmente si sus finanzas están denominadas en dólares. Sin embargo, lo siento por los ciudadanos de este país y sigo aprendiendo más sobre economía a medida que la inflación comienza a ser un problema en un área mucho más amplia.
Um pouco em português
Estou planejando fazer um pouco mais de blogs sobre a interseção da vida e coisas técnicas. Afinal, eu estive em uma grande jornada tanto na Terra quanto em minha compreensão de sistemas distribuídos. Desde março de 2020, quando o COVID fechou grande parte do mundo, moro no exterior como nômade digital em quatro países agora. Minha proficiência em espanhol está se aproximando dos níveis que preciso para realizar tarefas incomuns e entender a maior parte de qualquer conversa. Meu português passou do nada para um nível que se tornou confortavel de se compreender em qualquer parte do Brasil. Também comecei a aprender mais alguns idiomas que espero que ajudem enquanto continuo viajando e morando no exterior.
Não tenho certeza de quantas pessoas lêem minhas atualizações em português, e certamente não tenho tanta ajuda para traduzir meus documentos técnicos e discussões. Se você está lendo isso e quer mais, deixe um comentário.
Once I find out how it all works I will be happy to delegate to you. The Speak network and DLUX have a lot of potential for Hive And I hope to increase my miners over time.
@disregardfiat Thank You so much for putting my name out there!
Excelente amigo, que bueno saber de personas que trabajan en Hive para hacer de esta plataforma un mejor lugar.
Que sigas disfrutando tus viajes y que sigas haciendo un buen trabajo como testigo, saludos
Gracias por compartir en más idiomas.
Que sigas disfrutando del viaje y del aprendizaje.
I still need to make research to see how it works

Thank you very much for all this. I'm extremely interested in all this.
Are you running this on physical hardware at home or something? That is what I would like to do. If that is the case, could a single machine run all the things, like Witness, SPK node and whatnot?
What about the backup? Does that need to be off site?
What does it mean to "be able to stream getBlock requests to Honeycomb and HiveEngine nodes to help our layer 2 resiliency"?
Sorry for all the questions and I know your time is limited. This is just amazing stuff and I want to be helpful.
The Hive Witness I have a dedicated server. It's 4TB with 64GB of RAM. The SPK node I also run on a VPS, but often run on my laptop for testing. You'll probably need 10GB + 1 GB RAM to run it comfortably. These smaller nodes read the Hive block chain one block at a time. The more nodes reading blocks at a time, the harder the Hive witnesses have to work to deliver them, that's what getBlock means.
Very interesting. Thank you very much.
