Hi guys! Got access to the communities beta site and I saw this discussion just now.

I started working on Native Ads a few months ago. In short, I'm proposing an ad system as an upgrade to Hivemind Communities, which front-ends can access using the same Hivemind API.

Some of the elements I took into consideration:

• Free market, competitive bidding
• Flexible revenue options (collect to community acc, or burn)
• Multi party, transparent processes (ads and bids are on the blockchain, mods approve/reject)

The Design Overview doc goes into a lot more detail on how Native Ads will work. It's a living doc so it might change slightly as development continues.

What do you guys think?
