RE: eSteem and Steem referrals, incentivize users to invite friends
it is my personal belief that Steemit cannot scale until communities are implemented, there is only so much content that can fit in 1 bucket. Once communities are rolled out (hopefully soon) a referral system would definitely juice things up! I would go for a $ of earnings...something like 1% for lifetime.
I hate this idea. Users are already not earning enough. People will invite other for financial reasons only. You have just created financial overhead of whoch we have already too much.
Ie longterm this is just going to be bad for price of steem.
If you really want to create incentive to onboard people give referrals 10$ or something in that range.
I agree with you!
When reward for referral, this shall be limited to an one time reward only IMHO.
I would be ok with referrals being rewarded with promotion. So, for example, every referral who signs up earns promotion credit (SBD?) that can be used for selected articles(your own or someone elses) but cannot be withdrawn.
I like the idea of communities and have thought about the same thing myself. I do not quite understand what you mean by 1% for a lifetime and if its related to the communities/groups or a referral.
they are unrelated but I was just putting this out so that we don't put the horse behind the cart.
Got ya, thanks for clarifying
Thank you for input, brother! You are right, communities will be killer feature to grow. I believe it is coming soon with couple month, I see some development on Github. Referrals I believe is extra to push grow further and quicker :)
Absolutely right, hopefully this gets out soon. I really want to invite my friends over steemit.
