I like that you are coming up with solutions rather than problems. I think the first one is brilliant to rent out the nodes and could be instant turnover.
I don't mind the benificiaries personally but I'm not sure is putting more steem into the hands of steem Inc is the solution as they already have a huge supply and selling more would only hurt the price. There is an over supply on the markets so powering up more into more accounts would be more beinficial as steem inc would get higher returns for the steem they already selling.
I think ad revenue should definitely be brought in even if it would be a lot less than 20k per day. With the amount of traffic on the site and the specialised nature of a lot of the content I would think that the numbers might be low for the moment. If we get more traffic and expand then it would increase with the growth.
I would like to see them utilise the community as an asset. We have a workforce of thousands here willing and able to do some work to grow the chain. If need layed out some simple and achievable targets for the next six months and what would be needed to achieve them then we as a community would find a way. He might have lost staff but he still has people.
