## How to post 360 Images on DLUX using SPK Network

Posting to dlux-io has transitioned to the SPK Network for file storage, and @dlux-io is sponsoring 30 day, 30MB contracts for free with a 10% beneficiary fee, making it easy for anyone to get started posting immersive 360 experiences with completely decentralized file storage, Storage contracts can be extended with BROCA, which is a resource credit that comes from SPK Power. The SPK Test network continues to improve, this is just the beginning.
