That's sort of how it works. You request the conch, and if no-one else has it then it's yours.
Otherwise you're in the queue, waiting... always waiting, until finally the conch falls from your predecessor's grip - and you get notified via email or webhook.
Or as a last resort, by polling:
while [ 1 ]; do
if [ "$(curl -sfL conchable.com/bearer ...)" == "me" ]; then
echo "THE CONCH IS MINE!"
exit 0
fi
sleep 30
done
