Ragnarok and SPK Network News
It was an eventful weekend for anyone waiting for the Ragnarok game or the SPK Network in the Hive ecosystem.
SPK Network - LARYNX Power Up & Delegation Coming Soon
First, on Saturday, @starkerz shared this tweet in SPK Network's discord server:
Looks like soon we will have the first two use cases for LARYNX miners, other than locking them as node operators.
The two new use cases will be to power up LARYNX tokens for tier 1 SPK rewards or to power up and delegate your LARYNX to node operators, for tier 2 SPK rewards.
Tier 3 SPK rewards are reserved for node operators themselves, who lock tokens on their own node.
If you're looking for a way to power up and delegate your tokens right now, I believe you'll need to hold on. I searched for those options myself before I noticed the word "soon". So, it's a teaser for now, but it's coming...
Ragnarok Alpha Testing Weeks Away
Later the same day, an official post published by the Ragnarok game account made the following invitation:
The game's development is going smoothly, and we are getting close to a phase where we can invite many users to test the game. But first, we want to make a closed Alpha test with experienced gamers who have experience in Chess, Poker, and PVP games like Splinterlands and Heartstone and have a lot of patience to test.
Those interested who think they have the necessary experience and time to test are invited to fill in a form. You can check it out on the post linked above.
We learned from @theycallmedan's tweet that only 9 alpha testers will be selected in the first phase.
I applied too. I surely would love a sneak peek at the game, but I know as a tester I'll have to do my best to find bugs or something that needs to be improved, rather than have fun. Although the fun/excitement element should be a factor to consider because a boring game won't attract players or spectators.
If you don't want to apply for this shortlist of alpha testers, it's ok. From their wording looks like the public testing phase won't be too far out.
Can you feel it? The excitement is growing, despite the bear market! And remember, we will soon enough have the Ragnararok NFT drops, and with them (or soon after) the revealing of art and stats.

What hardware would one need to create own node?
I would opt for the third option in using my LARYNX.

I don't have one, but check out this post:

For running just one spk/larynx node a minimal vps with 1-2 cpu cores and 1-2Gb of ram is currently enough. At some point it was $5 on privex but now that option is not available, but there are other providers cheap enough, if interested hit me on discord drLobes#6382 and I can help you, we bot speak the same language :)) Also, if you get a server with higher specs, you could also run a ragnarok/duat node as well, check out this offer, decent enough I would say:
Things are moving forward. Good to see.

I was a bit overwhelmed by the two announcements on the same day. :)

Great update for both LARYNX and Ragnarok! I am missing a lot from CTT. Thanks for sharing!
!CTP
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't learned that from CTT, but I'm sure they'll mention them in the next CTT. !CTP
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh! Is that so? I thought they already covered it in the last CTT, which I failed to watch.
Maybe... If Dan didn't upload the recording for it yet, it's possible,,,
I am interested in seeing how the rewards are distributed for those not running a node. Then I might be able to do something with the airdropped tokens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yep, finally, we'll be able to put them to some use. But let's wait for some details. Perhaps in the next CTT.

AMA was announced, they're taking in questions about spk and larynx here:

I was about to read that post too. Thanks for the heads-up.
They have been advertising for alpha testers of Ragnorok. Won't be long now before we can play.

Definitely exciting to see things continue moving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great timing for the news too! Especially for those that haven't experienced a bear market yet.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just sucks how complicated and ugly the front-ends look.
Honestly, I have no idea what's going on...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
New tech I guess, on DLUX and frontends they use. Everything is confusing at first. But hopefully, things will improve over time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Which frontend are you using?
That's something to look forward to, being able to stake and delegate LARYNX tokens. Thank you for sharing :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, these are the first 2 use cases for the regular holders of LARYNX.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome :)

This is going to be big.
