I don't mind ads especially if the proceeds go to a good cause. I don't know how to turn off my ad blocker tho LOL

I really love the ads aspect of it, with that, the website generate more money. It’s a very good idea. The ads are working already, we can see it.

I think this site need the following ”css style” because whenever the ads is showing at the top of the site, it move to the right hand side where there is a blank space @proofofbrainio 
*{
box-sizing : border-box;
margin: 0;
}

body{
max-width : 100% !important;
overflow-x: hidden;
font-size: 100%;
}

I would love to see the diesel pool (or multiple diesel pools) for POB.  I would even throw 100 BEE in for the cause.  Let me know if you want to take me up on that.  

I also think buying POB from the market and using it as a reward/award would be useful.  Good for the market, good for the community.  

Getting hivelist to accept POB and getting a store up and running is awesome.  This bodes very well for things moving forward.

Sponsoring writing contests sounds great. 
Fireguardian is going to leave a big emptiness soon.
On the other hand I would be fine with a solution that rewards every user. Like buying and burning coins.

Perhaps you could do a monthly poll on what people think the money should go towards?
Ps. Love that you are using the text dividers! :)

I'd be curious how much rev is generate from ads. Not all the time but maybe a week after.  

My vote first would be to use the ad revenue to full future projects and development of the site.

Besides that if it's not needed it should go back into the token price or to those holding stake. What would be really cool is those holding stake the ad revenue once a week gets divided up to everyone that has powered up POB. 
Buying the POB and awarding it to those powered up?

Something along the lines of that feels like a decent incentive and a way to provide value back to those who are vested into the platform.

Don't have all the answers and just some quick ideas.

I all of these ideas are absolutely brilliant! Seriously good work + I don't mind the ads I think its a brilliant source of income and any and all of the ideas of what you said would be a lovely use case. Maybe keep a bit for yourself for server costs etc?

I noticed the ads not long ago. It was just a couple weeks after I had mentioned elsewhere that I wished I could monetize my posts for longer than 7 days because in the world of the internet and crypto, a post lasts forever, but the rewards only build for 7 days versus my other means of making money (YouTube) allows for perpetual earnings for content I've made once. It's for this reason that YouTube, to me, begs for evergreen content whereas Hive begs for fashionable content that is one and done. I like your idea of using the btc to peg POB to btc on the Hive Engine. For all the other tokens within the engine, this would likely make them have to trade to POB before trading to BTC as I understand it, so you'd increase the demand for POB. As for the amount you earn each month from ads being close to $12, that sounds really low to me compared to what I make on my YouTube channels, so if you're able to get a different ad supplier, your CTM will likely increase. Because it's random ads, I'm betting the CTM is extremely low.

Another possibility for the money from the ads is to reward people who have the most actual views per week instead of upvotes, as I've noticed that there are many times that people upvote without reading...maybe not...there are bots that can make a machine think anything...so if that's the case, perhaps, you can use the btc to create ads elsewhere on the internet to advertise folks to get to POB. It would raise adoption and revenue simultaneously. I teach people about expanding their business quite often and the #1 way is to let people know you exist...ads...

Sounds like there are some really awesome things in the works!  I have been staking pretty much all of the PoB that I have been earning.  I think the first option up there or the burn one are probably the two best.  With the token value where it is, I think the top users are doing just fine and they don't need any extra incentive for using the system.  That's just my opinion though...

Great work POB team exciting times. 🧠💪

What happened to the idea of wrapping POB any traction?



---

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@californiacrypto/qu3cy7)</sub></center>

I think that the funds, we are not talking about large amounts at the moment, should be used for development. It doesn't make any sense, in my opinion, to use it to distribute POBs to users.

We all want POB to keep growing and so we can use the funds to create a nice merchandising site for example

I think I support that option of converting pob into an app, in a world where 60% have a mobile device and the trend shows a prolonged rise in the following decades, I think it will be of great help, I heard this improvement a few months ago In the Musicforlife community, the strategy that these guys use is ingenious, because they are Hive leeches looking at what other tribes do for them to copy and make a small improvement, soon when time does not reach them to cover so many projects they will realize it mistake made. Here is something that should be done without haste but in a systematic way, so we will ensure exponential growth, and even more so when you mention the fact of paying for your own advertising.

Another thing that I would like to propose is to find a way to reward the user but to find a way in which the adoption of more people outside of pob can be effective.

Currently we see hundreds of topics about pob, and I include myself in that, but it is as @vempromundo has said, we do nothing talking about pob within pob, the real market to attack is out there, not here inside, I still look forward to a project which @trostparadox plans to launch in a short time, which seeks to find a use for pob.

Making a store would be great, I think a fund should be included, something like LBI or SPI, which offers a return for sending your pop, come on friend, tell me if there is something more exciting than seeing a higher annual return than the idiots from the bank want to offer with inorganic money.

Currently pob is on the lips of many in Hive and that should be taken advantage of, it reduces many operating costs in terms of advertising.

I would propose that there be a contest or a way to incentivize those people who can attract more people to pob, taking into account that we are full of affiliate marketing lovers, and this would be a great fuel to start a small wave of new users .

The more uses can be found for pob, it will be stronger and it is very possible that the daily liquidity will be much higher, I do not handle the data in specific but I think that we still do not exceed the barrier of 5k per day, and it is to be admired that with In less than a year a volume of trade greater than 4k has been reached, this is an indication that something is being done well in pob, and continuity must be given!

Maybe when I have something else to say I will leave a couple more comments, meanwhile I will continue reading the points of view!

The beauty of #pob is in its being the most valued tribe token on the leodex or hive-engine. I believe that this fact alone is driving a good amount of users to the platform. Content, engagement, curation rewards, use cases are no doubt important but if the token prices start falling then pob will lose its beauty. Though there are no traffic details available with me, the ad revenues would not be substantial to reward the users for their engagement efforts. 
I believe that creating the liquidity in the market to avoid the price fall is essential. So I would recommend that we keep these funds in the contingency reserve and buy the #pob from market when it reaches a certain lower threshold say like 1 hive per pob. I will pray this should never trigger the situation, but whatever POB's are bought only at a certain price levels would then be used to fund future project developments such as pob-fund.
By doing this, if we are able to generate say $12 from ads then it would be just lying in that account. If the price triggers immediately then only 24 POBs would be bought (assuming hive at 0.5), but if say for a year we accumulate these $12 then at the end of year we can buy 288 POBs.
We need risk management strategy to support our price levels too. This fund can be a good beginning.

Waw!!! That's awesome. Achieving  all these will be a great development to the community..my little contribution is that you shu reward the Top contributor who distribute Pop to new users.  And also, little should be donated to new active users as this we enhance the growth of the community in general...thanks for the great development

Great to see you guys using A-ads. I use them too for my small political blogs. I  earn more in BTC from A-ads than I do from Adsense on those blogs. On YouTube, I don't have the benefit of being a part of their monetization program (I used to be on it, until they changed their policy). It's great to have alternative sources of income for original content. 

I'll be turning off adblockers while using proofofbrain's front-end. Hope you guys perform well!

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@esecholito/qu7ipc)</sub></center>

Well done! Does it also include a potential app?

Wow there is so much to be done.... "Rewarding users through some type of contest that requires adding value to the community in some way" this will help encourage new user to deliver more valuable content

I've been using peakd and hadn't tried recency because I thought it was aimed at phones, but trying out today, and I like it. Unlike pob it's fast, and the design is good.

I really don't like ads. But, I know it's necessary and I would do the same.

But, I think adjusting where they appear is the main thing. Because the way it has appeared and the types of ads, will amaze a lot of people. Because now POB has the face of those sites of "advertisements" that where you click opens a pop-up and often with viruses. I'm not saying it's like that here. But the aesthetics got really ugly and if I didn't know the HIVE/POB in question, I wouldn't enter a site like that anymore for the first impression of these ads.

With the Front end of Ecency we will have a lot to gain and setting up a suitable space for the ads will be the best.

When it comes to BTC earnings create a fund for that. And use it to pay developers for projects that create something interesting for the community.

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@hranhuk/qu2vjd)</sub></center>

Some solid improvements an ecency style front end would be cool, its great that its open source and can be easily adopted.

I also think the use case is definitely needed so its great to see that being seriously looked at.

Ad revenue I think you have the right idea, sharing that between rewarding contributors as well as buying outside ads that will bring in new users for growth.

What do you think about referal links for every post, not like D.buzz has done but like read.cash is doing, where you can share any post from any author with an identifiable referal link attached.

Not sure what you could do about incentivicing refers, it could simple be that people signing up become a follower of the referer rather than financially motivated. I think it would encourage #pob promotion.

Either way these are positive steps forwards, I look forward to seeing them implemented.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the progress

I wonder would hooking up with the brave browser be a good idea for the ads.

Their ads are privacy based crypto focused any BAT earned could be swaped for #pob.

Just another possible or added option I guess

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@jaxsonmurph/qu424c)</sub></center>

Great updates and nice to see some development around here. Looking forward to seeing the new UI.

Love the idea of a store or enlisting on one, that should be a good use case for POB. 

The implementation of ads is also a good way of generating revenue with the traffic we get. 

Buying POB and burning will be a great one as it will help the token, the idea of buying ads to increase traffic & users is also cool



---

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@jersteemit/qu1w9b)</sub></center>

Wow,these is a very nice preference.i agree I admire the way you say or  talk about the upvote and downvote in the crypto currency community

This is a very good idea, I like your level of thinking bringing new user for more revenue. Humm you are brain loaded

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@johnsennimaat/qu4xf1)</sub></center>

A store where we can buy things directly from POB. that sounds amazing , i wonder how my parents will feel like when Someday i would tell them that i have bought a xyz thing and price of it was few POB.



---

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@kahkashan/qu1uzl)</sub></center>

> I have spoken to @thelogicaldude about the possibility of making us a store where things can be bought with POB.

That's a great step not only towards making POB shine but it is also a great step towards Blockchain adaption. 

Time when we can buy small to large stuff for Crypto currencies.

One question though , Is is going to be international store? 
or only a country specific for now...!!!

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@kamran-rkploy/qu1tha)</sub></center>

Invest the ad revenue in the business AKA to grow the POB community. There's always a couple of levers that generate 80%+ of the business (if not more); put the money where the biggest impact lies and keep analysing as we move forward. If you have no data, than start testing. Test all the points / ideas you have listed above. You will not know what works until you have tested them. No assumptions. Let's get the facts and numbers.

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@kriszrokk/qu2as7)</sub></center>

I think applying  pob front end for BAT publisher is a good choice .



---

<center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@lebah/qu1obq)</sub></center>

i've turned off my Brave Shield for the POB frontend and am now seeing ads, yay! do ad views generate revenue, or just clicks?

as a rather humorous aside, A-Ads ads might not leave cookies, but Brave blocked their website that you linked for using tracking cookies.
