Live Room
A time-boxed cohort that opens an exchange once enough seated creators are active at once.
Exchanges are closed by default. A room opens when 7 creators who hold seats in it are ready at the same time — where ready means having asked for a room recently rather than merely being logged in.
Each participant is granted floor(0.75 × (N − 1)) engagements at zero points spent, where N is the room size. The threshold is therefore also the deliverable, and the grant grows as more people arrive.
A room stays open for at least 2 hours, and longer while engagement is still landing. It closes after 30 minutes of silence.
A room that fills with seats but never with people at the same time is given an announced opening time instead. The shipped schedule is 19:00 UTC, and the slot is chosen for reach into the waking hours of the creators holding seats rather than simply being the next one on the clock. A planner that widens this to 3 slots is built and is currently switched off.
