...referral program in question is expensive...
...will likely be gamed...
If BitUSD was ready to market and had fiat on ramps and easy prepaid cards and mobile sending options. I would definitely recommend & refer it to my friends and send/gift them money out of my own pocket at various levels that I think would incentivise them.
On a different note I was trying to sell this English girl at a coffee shop right where a physical bitcoin exchange was (wont go into detail) and she would not even investigate or go into what I was saying.
But please please please, let's not be so conservative to not see that 15% possible dilution can be no more damaging than about 15% dilution, but offers a chance for the project to really grow exponentially... hell even it's survival might be put on the line by prejudices and utter refusal to take a 15% loss and decent chance of 500%-1000% or more appreciation...
+- A month ago, Auroracoin's high was $800 million. Today?... It's worth $1.3 million. - A 99.8% shareholder loss.
+- A month ago, Stan excitedly drew our attention to -Have you guys noticed the theory behind SiliconValleyCoin?
They are doing a "helicopter air-drop" of their currency into certain "zip" mailing codes in Silicon Valley under the theory that it directs their shares into the hands of a demographic more likely to be good supporters of their currency.QuoteThis coin is Premined 50%. Silicon Valley Coin will serve as a bridge between Silicon Valley innovation and the Crypto Community effectively by distributing our premined coins to certain zip codes surrounding the big tech companies of Silicon Valley. The distribution of our coins to these zip codes will commence on April 25, 2014.(http://econintersect.com/images/2013/6/45943442helicopter-dropping-money.jpg)
+- A month ago, SiliconValleyCoin's high was $20 million. Today?... It's worth $4 417. (Also a 99.8% shareholder loss.)
Not knowing those coins – are you saying they have tanked because of the airdrop.
SpainCoin achieved a high of $80 million and is now $20 000... (99.9% Shareholder loss)
MazaCoin achieved a high of $6 million and is now $140 000... (97.5% Shareholder loss)
Perhaps. It could be some evidence that targeted airdrops are over-valued/over-rated.
