I am working on a UI for Native Ads. It Will take time to do as I am still studying for a master's degree, but I'm working for free. This will help with incentivizing communities to burn their token with ads similar to Leofinance, without organizing the process themselves.
Also, don't you think that communities should get layer one tokens? Layer 1 will always be more decentralized and simple to use than layer 2. There will be fewer features, but it's a tradeoff. We were so close to getting SMTs, I don't see why we have to move to layer 2.
I like the idea of layer 1 holding token balances and layer 2 holding the rest. More of a question of what is possible, Blocktrades/Howo are the ones with a lot of knowledge there. After everything is fixed from the HF, talks on the next HF will pick up and we will get all of our questions answered.
I can see a world with Layer 1 tokens, using open source code that is not as decentralized for distribution rules. It will be interesting.
Also, have you reached out to @imwatsi? He is working on Native Ads for Hive also.
Yes, I did. Will use his code as the basis for the project. I will only provide an easy to use website that interacts with his API.
