@bytemaster --- I am going to repost my question just in case it got missed, because it's critical.
It's my understanding now that for the next 3 month or so until 2.0 is implimented any and all refers made amount to NO REFERS.
In other words, refers up to June 8th got a free membership of $100 value, but from June 8th to sometime in September.. any activities that will refer new users after the implementation of 2.0 will be a TOTAL LOSS for the referrer.
So say I am about to engage in projects that refers thousands to possibly tens of thousands of new users reaching the internet marketing space in particular.
My plans included getting a refer credit of some kind with the previous system because it was in good faith planned that these would be honored in some way.. even though we didn't know what it would amount to.
Now if there is no bridge between now and the next 3 months where new users being referred are being credited to the referrers, we got problems.
Entire businesses that planned around this are completely thrown off.
Nobody is going to refer anybody to bitshares from now and the next 3 months.
If there is some technical way to honor the referrs, like even if we have to setup our own faucet for those we refer?
