adstation package

Package adstation sells the panels of gno.world's ad station by the week, for GNOT, to ads an approver has passed (jae, his terminal, 2026-10-14: "lets make a site for the ad station, maybe ads.gno.world, where you can bid in gnot for your ad to show after approval" … "if somebody comes in and says i want this this this this panel, well, if they pay, they get it right? so make it flexible, market based, interesting").

THE UNIT is a panel, by index 0 … Panels()-1; the page maps an index to the station (face, row, column) and offers its colour groups as ready-made selections, so the groups can change without this realm knowing. A bid names any set of panels ("0-8,27-35"), one ad and one week, and carries its GNOT with it.

THE WEEK starts Monday 00:00 UTC and is named by that unix time. Bids for a week close a day before it starts; weeks up to AheadWeeks ahead are open. An approver passes or turns down each ad; a turned-down ad's open bids are refunded at once. From the week's start anyone may Settle it: the open bids whose ad is approved are ranked two ways — by price per panel, and by the whole amount — each in turn winning if none of its panels is taken yet, and the way that pays more decides the week (see allocate); the winners' GNOT goes to the ad station's treasury (r/…/adtreasury), everyone else's back to them. Refunds are credited and paid by Withdraw (the owner of the money) or PayOut (anyone, for them).

THE ROLES: an owner (two-step hand-off) names the approvers and sets the minimum bid, the panel count of weeks not yet bid on, and a pause on new bids; neither the owner nor an approver can move a bid's GNOT anywhere but back to its bidder or, by settling, to the treasury. The owner and first approver is Jae's cold key.
