Map Improvement Proposal 1: Extending the Submission Window

Summary

MIP-1 proposed that the Hivemapper Network extend the window for accepting data beyond 72 hours, with a late fee based on how late the data was uploaded. The proposal was not finalized.

• Outcome: Not Finalized

Detailed Changes

MIP-1 proposed the following "late fee" schedule:

• Data uploaded 3 days or less after collection has no late fee.

• Data uploaded 30 days or less after collection has a 25% late fee subtracted from rewards.

• Data uploaded 90 days or less after collection has a 50% late fee subtracted from rewards.

• Data uploaded more than 90 days after collection has a 75% late fee subtracted from rewards.

The proposal was not finalized due to implementation challenges related to submissions arriving after the final rewards calculation. Subsequently, a change was made to give contributors more time to upload map data. Rather than 72 hours from the time of capture, the deadline was set at 11:59 pm UTC each Tuesday, applying to any imagery collected during the prior Monday-to-Sunday period.
