Hello @ryzeonline
Thank you for your comment. Some of the questions you have will be answered in the videos that we will upload soon. We have at least 8 more videos talking about the SPK Network.
The SPK Network will be for everybody to use. Maybe not all will be miners or run their own storage node, but everyone in Hive will be able to use it in one way or another. For example, at the moment, you can store text in Hive in a decentralized manner, but for images and videos is another story. They are stored in private or centralized servers, many times run by the Hive frontends.
The SPK Network is going to help store images and videos in a decentralized way. That's the main purpose for end-users. This will bring censorship resistance and true decentralization of our infomation.
Definition of IPFS:
InterPlanetary File System
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system.
