Thank you for taking the time to give some feedback! I'm aligned on the thinking and hoping that we can take step by step to get there.

I would love to see advances to the site. We currently use the open source front end that comes from HE with a few enhancements that community contributors have done PRs for. The problem with moving from this format is finding someone who can maintain the codebase for a new condenser. Soon we'll hopefully have the ability to use ARCHON's governance system that a potential developer could make a proposal request for funding.

We also already have advertising on the site that comes from the Hive Engine team. Unfortunately they've not fulfilled their advertising payments since 2019 despite the ads still running at this time. I've reached out to multiple advertising networks to see about replacing them but have been unable to find one that will offer payouts to a Bitcoin address that will approve us. I'm still looking though!
