Total coin drops that day/total on that server.
Why? Why not, a nice feature to have, interesting stat to have, and helps answer people who want to know how many coins that they missed that day/night/time they left the server for.

People are running commands on #general and psyching people into spamming .pick because that makes the BlobCoin bot send a message.

My suggested proposal is that a check is added to all commands (other than .pick) that checks if the command is happening in the #bot-commands channel. If it is, then it will execute the command. If not, it will delete the message that triggered the command and possibly warn the user via DM or chat message that bot commands should be run in #bot-commands.

People are spamming the chat just so the coin drops. That happens because the coin drop is determined on the on_message event.

My suggested proposal is that the coin dropping happen in a background task so that it doesn't depend on messages. Then it would look something like

while True:
    drop_coin()
    time_to_sleep = calculate_sleep_time_using_exponential_stuff()
    await asyncio.sleep(time_to_sleep)

Instead of just responding to a typed message which can be a disadvantage to slow typers or mobile users.
Have alternate ways of responding to the "A coin has dropped message".

I was thinking that this could perhaps be via a reaction which is much easier and quicker to do.
By this I mean the bot reacts to itself to get around the issue of having reactions blocked for non-role users.
This can then be evolved to slightly combat selfbots by having say 3 reactions and the message says which to choose.

• Have an extended leader board, so instead of top 5, maybe a top 20 ish?

• Each blob coin drop/place has an ID, and the id is given after the coin is taken
• If you run a command like .lookup [id] you can see the top 3 fastest people who were the fastest

Just ideas /shrug

From a base time of say 5 seconds (or whatever it is currently) add a small amount of time per letter for long words.
I have seen a few complaints/messages about long words taking a while to type.
