Waiting Room Logic #382

Closed tawnzz closed 5 years ago

tawnzz commented 5 years ago

I think we should implement this before we can push changes to the waiting room text (waitingroomtext branch)

If the waiting chat goes up to 20 minutes, cancel the batch and pay people who waited the entire time $1. (Regardless of it rolling over)

What is 'entire time' ? Literally, nobody can be in waitchat for entire time

i-gao commented 5 years ago

@tonya By entire time, do we mean people who have waited > 10-15 mins?

Additionally @deliveryweb, is the 20min timer starting from batch creation time? For queued batches, can we start the timer once people are able to enter the waitroom?

tawnzz commented 5 years ago

I mean ā€œentire timeā€ as in, if they wait the entire 20 minutes (or even 10-15) and we have to cancel the batch because we didnā€™t reach 16 users.

i-gao commented 5 years ago

I think deliveryweb's point is that few people, if anyone, will join at the 0th minute the batch starts, so maybe a more specific delta would be helpful.

Hi @i-gao and @deliveryweb ā€“Ā I returned to this issue with @markwhiting and we decided to stash it for now. Our alternative solution is to change the HIT price from $0.01 to $1.00.
