Lovingthemoo SPS Validator Node Announcement
Exciting News for the Splinterlands Community from the UK!
I'm thrilled to announce that I, Lovingthemoo, am officially joining the SPS Validator network! This marks an important milestone in Splinterlands' journey toward decentralization.
What is the SPS Validator Network?
The SPS Validator network represents a significant advancement for Splinterlands - it's essentially a Hive-based sidechain for Splinterlands transactions, similar to how Hive Engine runs a sidechain to add smart contract capabilities to Hive.
Currently, validators are being used to validate SPS-related transactions, with plans to eventually expand to cover various game transactions as we move toward the goal of complete decentralization for Splinterlands game services.
Why Support Lovingthemoo's Validator Node?
Technical Infrastructure
My node is hosted in the United Kingdom, helping to improve the global distribution and decentralisation of the validator network

Operating on a dedicated virtual machine in a professionally managed UK data centre
Running Linux (Ubuntu) with all security best practices implemented
Configured for 24/7 operation with excellent uptime
My Commitment
I am actively working on setting up a public API service for my validator node to contribute to network decentralisation
All SPS rewards received will be staked, creating no additional sell pressure on the token
Long-term dedication to maintaining and improving my validator services
Supporting geographic diversity in the validator network through UK-based hosting
About Me
Dedicated Splinterlands player and community member
Technical background with strong server administration skills
Committed to the long-term success of the Splinterlands ecosystem

How Voting Works
Each Hive account with staked SPS can vote for up to 10 validators. The weight of your vote is determined by how much SPS you have staked. Your vote only counts if you have SPS staked in Splinterlands.
How You Can Vote
If you believe in strengthening the SPS network through greater decentralization, I would greatly appreciate your vote!

Looking Forward
I'm committed to contributing to the technical infrastructure that powers Splinterlands whilst helping to create a more robust, decentralised network. By supporting a UK-based node, you're helping to strengthen the global distribution of validators. SPS rewards for validator nodes are scheduled to begin on 7th March at noon EST.
Thank you for considering my node for your votes. Together, we can help build a stronger, more decentralised future for Splinterlands!
