Weekly Feature Update: Premium Posts!
Report — December 10th
Our development team spent the week working on implementing an entirely new feature in our Android and web platforms: Pay-to-post Messaging. Pay-to-post is an pool admin tool that, when applied, will require pool users to pay a fee to post messages into their pool’s public chat. This feature is a great way to ensure that only premium content is posted and will grant pool admins the ability to monetize posting in public chats.

i) Default chat scroll was always bottom
Default chat scroll will be to the last unread message.
ii) Long messages loading time
Added cache mechanism and smart message loading.
iii) After matching user 1 and user 2, user 1 could not start a private chat and had to wait for user 2 to start the private chat

The indicator is hidden after the user reads the messages.
Conclusion
The implementation of Pay-to-post public messages gives pool admins the ability to promote the generation and publication of premium content. Used strategically by pool admins, Pay-to-post Messaging is a great way for businesses and services to promote their brands and products to a wider user base. The posting fee ensures that all advertisements made to the public chat are high-quality and goal-oriented.
Thanks for reading and match on!

The Matchpool team.
