Grant existing revenue on monetisation weight update

Open foenichs opened this issue 10 months ago • 6 comments

If you change the monetisation weight of a project member, only new revenue will be granted from this point onwards. An option to grant currently existing income that hasn't been withdrawn yet would be amazing.

I can imagine that the revenues are not tied to a user account, but are within the project, so that everyone can access their share of the revenues via the project settings. Just a idea though.

I believe that's not how it works? If you get removed from a project you don't lose the revenue you've gotten from it before getting removed

Right now, your share of the revenue, depending on the monetisation weight, goes from the project directly to your account and stays there, regardless of monetisation weight changes or you being removed from the project.

I'm not sure how you imagine this would work? Revenue is paid out daily, to users, not to projects. We obviously would not take someone's revenue because someone adjusted values after the fact?

Yea that makes sense, I don't really have an idea how to do that either, it would just be great to have a way to transfer past revenue between project members.
