We think that SPK will be a proof of access storage model where things will be stored separately on a decentralised network which will fully integrate into hive. the content file lists will be recorded on hive and will therefore not require a complex blockchain mining system like with other decentralised storage systems, which will allow Hive to focus on text, its account system, communities, tokens, NTF metadata, and everything else that DPoS is excellent at doing
SPK will use Hive to store CIDs in order for the PoA system to work. The token system will also be built on Hive. Account names, etc everything will be Hive based except the video and image storage. Basically, we will use Hive as our immutable ledger of truth as the skeleton that makes up the entire network. IPFS will be used for the storage of video/images/text. The unique thing about the SPK network is users can have permanent data and be able to delete that data from the network if they choose. In fact, they will be paid to delete older videos.
That's really interesting... appreciate the prompt reply! I'm quite intrigued as a content creator that has been very disappointed with my experience uploading videos to YouTube, to the point that I don't feel it's too worth my time to even do these days.
I prefer to do everything in 4K quality to future-proof it... unsure if this is viable using IPFS given the file size? But I have been strongly considering re-uploading all my content on ThreeSpeak eventually, just never got around to it so far.

There is no technical reason why this wouldn't be possible. 4K is somewhat of an arbitrary term which essentially means higher bitrate and higher resolution. The file size the more important thing to consider. IPFS can theoretically support practically unlimited file sizes. Now, the more relevant factors to consider are internet speed/how you will be hosting this data as it would determine the quality of playback for the end user.

Sure, but what I stated above in your reply is related to the infrastructure operating the IPFS nodes, not IPFS itself. Which we are working on ways to incentivize storage and network infrastructure.
Cool, I'm definitely interested in the particulars of that. In the past, my experiences with services using IPFS have been quite mixed — sometimes loading decently, often constantly buffering or unable to load. To be fair, it's been a long while since I've used any such services so I'm hopeful that some of the innovations you're talking about to incentivize storage (as well as even file deletion) could help get us closer to, say, the loading speed of mainstream services such as YouTube.

Yeahhh, I've had a similar experience at times. IPFS only or two a year ago was complete crap compared to now. Luckily it's improved significantly since then.
Look forward to seeing it there. other goals of ours are to make tools and distributed video network so good using hive and spk network, its a no brainer for other video platforms to start using it too. they will get the ability to store on ipfs, give their creators tokens, nfts, rewards system, account ownership, community ownership etc. all with very little dev work on the part of the platform

Awesome, thanks for the response! I will be following this project and looking forward to reading more about it.

That's what I mean by "viable."
