I think we have collected 25,000 bts this week, at least, it is the number that appears on the last BSoTN
https://steemit.com/bitshares/@steempower/bitshares-state-of-the-network-10th-january-2017If we remove 10% from the referral program to give to LTM accounts, we are removing money done by the most active LTM promotors and give it to all LTM, even the one who don't promote at all.
I didn't think about that problem.
When
@fav share its original on this thread
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23691.0.html, he also propose that the sharing would be done considering how bts is holded on the LTM account.
This idea maybe has to be tweeked.
I really think that we need to find a way, with this idea or other ones, to give incentives to ppl to use the referral program.
When the referral program was promising, we had a lot of cool things created. Roadscape was creating Cryptofresh without asking for money, Fav was promoting BTS a lot and gaining hundreds of users, my friends and I translated everything in french and created BitSharesFCX, a informational website was created in Greece, ... the promotion of BitShares was starting very well and we've killed it when we lower the fee to almost nothing.
Now, we are complaining that we don't have a good image, we destroy the way BM originally forsee how to incentive to promote and create a natural network effect.
I'm not proposing a solution but just saying, we need to come up with a way to make the referral program EXITING !
