Right now there’s a 24 hour countdown once the final SNS proposal passes, but this could result in the decentralization sale kicking off at a random time (i.e. not exactly on the hour).
One place that this could work well would be in the sns.yml config file. Imagine if developers could specify:
// (optional, default is to kick off the sale 24 hours after proposal passes)
sale_datetime: {
// the time of day in hours (0-24) that the proposal will kick off
hour_utc: ... // 2pm
// (optional) the number of days gap between the proposal passing and the launch
// probably set a max of 7
days_to_wait: ...
// (optional) the day of week to start the sale (Sun-Sat, chooses the next occurrence of that day)
day_of_week: ...
}
A scheduled time would then allow developer, product, and marketing teams to properly prep PR for the sale event at least a week in advance.
