Waivio update: Referral Program & More

in #waivio3 years ago

Waivio has launched a referral program (tasks 715, 1090, 1112) that offers 56% of processing fees to referring parties for a period of 90 days for new customers and 5 days for regular customers. For example, if a referred visitor opens Waivio.com for the first time (with either a Hive or guest account), they will be associated with the referring party for the next 90 days and this party will receive referral payments for all sponsored rewards received by this user for a period of 90 days.

Instructions: just add ?ref=YourHiveUsername to Waivio.com links.

Waivio relies on user sessions to preserve the link to the referring party until the user logs into Waivio.com. The referral is then recorded and can be viewed on the Status page:

Once the user is assigned to a referral partner, they will remain associated with that party until the expiration of the referral period, regardless of the other referral links they may click during that time.

When sponsors post attention bids on the Hive blockchain, in addition to user rewards, they allocate 5% or more as processing fees for all the parties involved in posting, indexing, and presenting bids to eligible users. Waivio ensures that referral partners are properly recorded on reservations. Sponsors are reponsible for paying referral fees and the status of these payments can be verified on the Receivables page:

In this example, @foodster published a review that qualified for a $4.86 reward (39,178 HIVE at the time of reservation). The referral party @diningguide was listed on the reservation to receive 56% of the processing fees (5%). In this case, the referral fee represents 2.8% of the user's reward. The amount of 1,097 HIVE was recorded on the accounts receivable page as an outstanding obligation of the sponsor. Referral fees are paid in liquid HIVE.

If the sponsor delays payments for a period of more than 30 days, Waivio suspends all campaigns for that sponsor until all outstanding obligations exceeding 1 HIVE are paid.

The list of all active rewards campaigns can be viewed on the Rewards / All page.

Bell notifications for objects

In addition to bell notifications for users, Waivio now supports instant notifications for objects as well (tasks 930, 953):

For example, @diningguide was using bell notifications for the #bitcoin hashtag and received an instant alert, when @tuck-theman posted a new article referencing that hashtag.

Objects that support Galleries now have Related albums (task 975) that include the images from all the reviews that have a reference to this object:

Fraud detection assistant

Waivio has launched an experimental tool for fraud detection (task 872). All qualified submissions are checked using multiple algorithmic procedures and accumulated knowledge to identify potential fraud.

Sponsors should always verify submissions using their own procedures and use the Fraud Detection Assistant only as a secondary reporting tool. The service is provided on an "as is" basis.

This will be very good addition, once the experiment become success. Can we now plan to talk to restaurants at my place ? And I already supported your proposal because, I feel, this is going to bring lot of attention to hive. May be we should ask the restaurants to have some small placards showing waivio and hive ads on the table.

@Sanjeevm, the first simple step is to add some restaurants to the Hive blockchain with selected dishes (or even whole menus if you have time). Once some listings are in place, it will become possible to publish reviews with photos and links to the dishes.

I think, you should have a recent post updating these with hive blockchain. I don't want people see steem again and getting confused. Can you do that please ? I will go through these and come back with questions, if any.
