It's been a week since I started working on the Native Ads protocol, as a standalone protocol. Here's a brief overview of what I have developed in the last week.
33 commits, 563 additions and 48 deletions, comparing the dev branch before merging into master...

I implemented basic caching for accounts, so as blocks are processed, accounts are mapped to database IDs from an in-memory cache, which also holds account properties. This reduces the number of DB queries made as the service runs.
account_init: to initialize monetizer accountsset_props: to update the monetizer account propertiesmonetizer_accs table to store the monetizer accounts and their properitesadvertizer_acc table to store the advertizer accounts and their propertiesmonetizer_spaces table to store spaces that monetizer accounts createad_posts table to store ads created by advertizer accountsI refactored the code and changed the logic to allow for a more unified flow and support future migrations. DB checks happen on every startup.
I wrote shell code in preparation for advertizer ops and related processes.
I'm aiming for an alpha release within the next 2-3 weeks.
Upon release, the server will be available on: https://native-ads.imwatsi.com, and anyone who wants to run the server can download the source, pip install it according to the README and run. I'll continue improving the setup and installation methods.
