We have been considering such a system, but it will not come about until the website is out of beta. We must be careful to prevent any such system from being gamed and backfiring.
That said, every user you refer becomes a potential voter on your content.
And when the steemit website will be out of beta?
Very soon...
Here we are: October 16, 2017.
So we are having referral program now? Any plan for it? @dantheman how do we consider cases when sb create fake account and then using bots to use that fake accounts to like and comment?
Well there are bots on here now
I could think of many way to get by fake accounts but then again anyone could put in time and effort to get free crypto at this point.
Hi @dantheman
Please let us know if there is any update on this. I run a number of recreational websites with high traffic but low conversion. I suspect Steemit could draw in a lot of peeps from them, but how could I take a cut on that? Perhaps just linking to an introduction article for now, I guess.
A referral program would be amazing though.
When Gmail required invitations to join and paypal gave everyone 10$ in the early days was brilliant, adding a LOT of virality to their expansion.
Suprised steemit haven't done this yet!
I have friends who have signed up, but it'd taking ages for the registration to be approved
Why not implement a proof of person system. I think the boat for major adoption is being missed here.
