Tip bot requirements

[bedeho]

Background

People have expressed an interest in being able to socially tip each other on Discord, right now do not have a way to do that. There has been an attempt at doing that, but it has some significant design flaws - among which is to require users to provide their seeds, so we need some more solid requirements.

Note: I am not conviced about the real value in executing on this now, given how complex it is, and likelihood of it being adopted, but just posting this

Proposal

Maintiner

@DzhideX

Infra

Jsgensis operated.

Target chain

Carhtage

Requirements

The idea in this proposal is to only use Discord handles as identifiers, and sidestep the entire problems of mapping on-chain memberships to users, as that gets very messy and complex. This requires that Discord handles are used as identifiers, and that we are sure that they are obth immutable and unique. This seems to be changing on Discord these days, so we must be careful to get it right.

• Users can tip each other using Discord handles
• Users can tip Discord handles that do not yet have any on-chain membership or accounts, money is instead held by bot.
• Users tip each other using funds they have pre-deposited in a tip bot account, hence they do not share any seed or secret with the tip bot, the bot is in essence a custodian.
• Users settle balances by cashing out, so all intermediate tips are not settled on chain until there is a cashout.
• Users can check the balance of any other user in the tip bot.
• Users can see the tip bot transaction history of any user.
• Users can cash out to a raw account only.
• Admin can set a daily transaction count limit.
• Admint can set a daily cashout limit, in terms of $JOY.
• Admin can set a daily deposit limit, in terms of $JOY.
• There is a help command which links to some external page or something.
• Bot must be versioned!
• There must be a stats endpoint that outputs information about version number, whether bot has gone fractional, or has too much money, etc.

Please follow this link to learn how to use the tipping bot. https://www.notion.so/joystream/JOY-tipping-bot-cc69c748e3994234842d03434facc82c?pvs=4

⚠️ We need to add instructions on how to top up the balance. It would be great to have all the information you need inside the dialog with the bot, eliminating the need to constantly go to the link to Notion.
