Good post, didnt know anything about the layer program before. Can you relate me to other post talking about this?
Its true that a fast an free of fees chain is one of the strongest points in hive.
The worst problem is the SEO and the search system on the blockchain... Damn is preety bad, always was bad... But now with more data is just getting worse HiveSearcher is a great adition but almost no front end uses it.
There is a long way to create a perfect system but i think we are going in the right path. If you ask me i guess its prioritary to do something about that SEO thing...
