Btw, the way I was thinking that pay to preach might work is (that is if P2P is approved in the budget), we create a pool receiving address for P2P, we add a proposal for P2P for say 1Q 2018, when approved, the payment is sent to the pool P2P key. Then we give the pool the ability to reward "priests" who are on the schedule with subsidies after a successful sermon. So basically, Priests register on the pool, we set up a biweekly sermon in a chatroom, participants come in, the priest preaches to the biblepay group, then the pool releases the payment after the sermon is over. We keep doing that until the funds are exhausted, and do not vote on a new P2P campaign until exhausted. We can add "Priests" and "Sermons" objects to the pool so we can see, and we can add a metric for the P2P balance.
how about the priests register their address and they are paid by the congregation they gather. ie by donation. this is the only way to weed out scammers who 'preach' and are guaranteed payment. and it keeps them on their toes to establish and audience and not loose it.
otherwise you just have a lot of flyby randoms looking for guaranteed payola who may not even preach anything biblical!
What if we allow any number of "Priests" sign up and register for duty. This just puts them on the clergy list. They start with 0 feedback level.
A separate action could be that they then can create an Event, and need to enter an event date and duration.
Maybe some of them feel comfortable using a Youtube live stream and maybe the other would rather use a chatroom. (I kind of like the chatroom in the sense that when we have a Q&A session, all the interactive chat is available for everyone to see and the conversation is about Christianity). I believe another option is sharing a powerpoint presentation in a slack channel, with slides being explained. Maybe we let them set up their own presentation URL with whatever materials they want.
Then I think we could allocate something like $10-$200 an hour to the priest for the presentation time, starting at the minimum, (assuming all the preparation of the powerpoint was actually done for free by him/her) but the time is based on the duration of the event plus 2 hours for preparation. Maybe we make it so the higher the persons reputation grows, the higher the rewards for the next presentation in hourly rewards. Of course this would be capped and divided by an algorithm depending on how much is in the kitty.
Then after sermons, we can have the users rate via feedback system rate the priest up or sideways so they sort of float to top with a good reputation if they held an edifying sermon. This is a tricky one because I think we cannot allow a downvote action, as it embarrasses the clergy. Maybe in this case we only allow upvotes and abstains, and we take the percent of upvotes to actually rank the priest.
