Hello, everyone!
3Speak.tv relies on a decentralized network of community-run encoder nodes. These operators provide the computing power required to process video uploads, transcode media into multiple resolutions, and ensure that content remains reliably accessible across the 3Speak and SPK Network ecosystem.
This weekly report provides a transparent view of encoder performance and workload distribution. Its purpose is twofold:
- To recognize the work contributed by independent node operators.
- To distribute rewards fairly and proportionally, based on actual encoding output.
This strengthens the operational reliability of 3Speak, encourages participation in the encoding network, and supports further decentralization of the video infrastructure on Hive.
The data below is taken from monitor.3speak.tv and reflects encoding activity from the past week.
Some nodes still show “N/A” for the Hive account due to an interface bug; however, we have manually verified the correct accounts.
Current Encoder Software
The open-source repository used by all encoder operators can be found here.
Operators are encouraged to update regularly to benefit from stability, performance improvements, and bug fixes.

Aggregated Jobs by Hive Account
| Hive Account | Jobs Completed | Nodes Included |
|---|---|---|
| @thorkellnft | 130 + 39 + 10 = 179 | thorkellnft1, thorkellnft, thorkellnft2 |
| @sagarkothari88 | 47 + 45 + 35 = 127 | sagar-ubuntu-3, sagar-ubuntu-2, sagar-ubuntu-1 |
| @snapie | 78 | 3speak-snapie-encoder |
| @forkyishere | 40 | atexoras-3speak-encoder |
| @eddie-3speak | 37 | 3Speak-eddie-encoder |
Total Jobs Encoded: 179 + 127 + 78 + 40 + 37 = 461
Fair Percentage Distribution (Proportional to Jobs Completed)
Percentages are based on a total of 461 jobs and rounded to whole numbers for beneficiary assignment.
| Hive Account | Jobs | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| @thorkellnft | 179 | 39% |
| @sagarkothari88 | 127 | 27% |
| @snapie | 78 | 17% |
| @forkyishere | 40 | 9% |
| @eddie-3speak | 37 | 8% |
These accounts will be set as the beneficiaries of this post.
We will publish this report every week to provide transparent information about encoder performance and to distribute additional rewards to the operators who maintain the encoding infrastructure. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the technical backbone of 3Speak and support the decentralization of Hive’s media storage and delivery layers.
If you would like to be part of the encoding network or learn how to set up a node, feel free to reach out or explore the encoder repository.
We appreciate the continued support and participation of our encoder operators and the broader Hive community. Their contribution is essential to keeping 3Speak decentralized, censorship-resistant, and operationally strong. By maintaining this weekly report and reward structure, we aim to encourage more users to join the encoding network and to strengthen the long-term reliability of decentralized video on Hive. Thank you for helping us build a more open and resilient future for Web3 media.
If you would like to participate in the encoding network and operate your own 3Speak encoder node, feel free to reach out to @eddiespino on the official 3Speak Discord server. We are always open to onboarding new operators who want to support the decentralized video infrastructure on Hive.

Someone is cursing me.
earlier it was internet issue.
This time, it went above & beyond.
Water pipe burst & leakage
All my nodes are down. Few of the systems are permanently damaged.
I'm in tears. Speechless, shocked.
My Hive API node is down too.
Society said, we'll raise a ticket & look into it.
Now, water supply is also stopped till the issue gets fixed.
@eddiespino , @meno , @threespeak
send wishes
pray for miracle
I'm working very hard but is it just luck, hard luck?
Keep your head up Sagar! lets chat about getting everything back up and running! Everything gonna be ok!
Yes @starkerz
Thank you for kind words.
Sent them for inspection.
Fingers crossed 🤞
wow Sagar... I'm so sorry... listen, we will soon reap the benefits of all the work we've been putting in. We are betting on effort, and we will see this through.
Thank you for kind words @meno
Those supporting words are most valuable.
I've sent devices for inspection.
Hoping for best.
Machines can be rebuilt... people no!
Never give up...
I live in an earthquake zone, and it's just a matter of time for one day something goes nuts. Hopefully it does not get to that... ever... but I have some failsafe security to protect me.
Although if it's a very hard one, I will be down for a couple of months too, probably.
Focus on family mate! We are all here, and we are going nowhere.
Hi @forkyishere
Won't give up for sure.
Lesson learned hard way.
Sent my devices for inspection.
Hoping for best.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I hope you can recover some of it.
Hello @steevc
I saw you in @alessandrawhite's post. Good to see you - we'll meet some day - may be in next hivefest.
Thank you for wishes.
I have sent my devices for inspections
Hoping for best
Oh no!
I am just seeing this.
I hope everything can be solved soon and we can see your encoding nodes back!
Hello @eddiespino
Thank you for wishes.
I sent my devices for inspections
Hoping for best
All the best, hopefully back bigger and stronger!!
Excellent work @threespeak team!!!
I had a couple of problems with my IPFS server... still trying to find if the 7x fix did the job... but hopefully it did this time. Apologies for the few moments it was failing.
