I'd like to propose a vote to optionally payout the pending distributions.
As the distributions will never reach the treshold in our livetimes, the (minted) seats have become a worthless investment. By giving the option to manually make the payout, it suddenly becomes a savings account again. I'm confident that this will be reflected in market-price of seats and appreciation / activity of the club.
Please know that it's only about "giving the option". Due to the size of the club i don't think it will happen very often.
So it can be as easy as an email with a manual approval, bookkeeping entry and transaction on your side.
You’d want to peel your coin to access below the threshold funds? That seems to me like taking an axe to a Cadillac to try and get the gas inside the gas tank to sell. If there’s demand that wants this I could see looking into it, but it sounds more like a dust attack then a feature to me.
I would agree that there should be options available. Personally, I’d like to see peeled coins “claimed” and have the seat removed from the coin and any pending balances moved to the claimant’s account where they could be distributed that way, but I’m not a capable developer for something like this so I can only make requests same as you.
As for your claim that seats will never reach the payout in our lifetimes, you should refrain from saying things that are not only untrue, but also extremely pessimistic. I would recommend you learn “the secret” as I think it would change your life given your irrational pessimism.
