Great ideas Max and this is in line with various ideas that have been floating around our lunch discussions.
The primary challenge we face is that there is nothing stopping everyone from simply "referring themselves" and then using the account N levels down so they get the rebate on all of their transaction fees.
You solve this somewhat with the $20 fee to create a participating account. This fee would prevent all abuse from anyone generating less than $20 in transaction fees per year. 4000 transactions per year at $0.01 per transaction assuming 50% of fees go to the referrer.
I think the $20 fee could be seen as a pyramid scheme where the bottom of the pyramid never makes their money back. On the other hand, if you can convince just 2 people to sign up then your fee is covered. So it seems like a low enough barrier to anyone who is passionate about the concept.
Technically it is all possible.
Pure genius.
I would vote for implementation asap.
This would allow people to 'work' for BTS without becoming a delegate; the implications for adoption are mind boggling.
$1 fee to lock in each year of revenue claim, up to a maximum of 20 years (max fee would be $20).
Revenue split 60% to referrer and 40% to BTS shareholders.
Holy shit.
I hate to say it but this should be implemented prior to 1.0 and marketed heavily on release of 1.0.
If the devs can pull this off we could be looking at one of the fastest growing businesses in human history. BTS could go completely exponential on a global scale.
I just spent a few weeks in SE Asia; everyone seems to have a smart phone. Community networks are strong and this would spread like wildfire. BTS could provide an economic opportunity to millions.
This platform just keeps blowing my mind.
