bring back takes in payday

⬑ #3994

← #4024 — #4026 →

Punchlist

• rewrite process_takes
• insert a process_baselines before process_takes
• include members in MassPay; see get_ready_payout_routes_by_network
• clean up test suite (depends on take_over in plumb takes #4023)
• remake against master once plumb membership #4024 lands

I'm looking at baselines (#3994 (comment)) here. ~owners can claim takes just like any other ~user. Should we just depend on that instead of implementing the baseline?

I like that, although maybe it should be set up so that no other takes are available until the owner takes at least one? (Temporal dependency rather than set initial $ dependency)

Since takes are proportional rather than absolute, there's no need for a temporal consideration; cf. point 2 under benefits. The problem with this is related to what @Changaco identified in terms of volatility in income for participants. Based on the user examples I cited in benefit (3), I think team owners will appreciate the stability of an absolute rather than a proportional baseline.

I think team owners will appreciate the stability of an absolute rather than a proportional baseline.

This goes for Team Gratipay, even. We need ~$150/wk just to keep the lights on. If income dips down to $120 in a given week, then it should all go to ~Gratipay for operations. No?

[gratipay] $ grep xfail tests/py/test_billing_payday.py 
    @pytest.mark.xfail(reason="haven't migrated transfer_takes yet")
    @pytest.mark.xfail(reason="Don't think we'll need this anymore since we aren't using balanced, "
    @pytest.mark.xfail(reason="haven't migrated transfer_takes yet")
    @pytest.mark.xfail(reason="haven't migrated_transfer_takes yet")
    @pytest.mark.xfail(reason="haven't migrated take_over_balances yet")

That's the best argument for an absolute baseline.
