so guys 1 day left till the fundraiser ends.

you can still buy the METAFEES via BTS on the internal market or via metaexchange.info with BTC, ETH and NXT.

We will do the next buyback after the chrismas days, but not sure about the exact date yet.

We wish everyone the best

Your metaexchangeteam

monsterer and shentist

Since metaexchange lost some money during the Chrismas days, I assume there would be no buyback until the loss is covered?

Is there a "how-to" for the program?  How to use it, what to expect,, how to verify, etc.  As far as I knew there was still a bug that needed fixing.  I was, and still am, under the impression that a functioning referral program could snowball.  I haven't seen very much discussion about it, people's successes / failures, strategies, etc. etc.

The how-to is haphazardly found in the forum, ideally it would be front and center in OpenLedger somewhere, letting new users see how they can easily refer their friends - moreover, the link they would use would be pre-done using their account name so they could just copy and paste it to send to their friends. As of now, there is very little to no mention of the referral program in the wallet... save the Membership page which is buried (it would be nicer to have its own referral page with info and lists of referred users and their account status). Furthermore, the Membership page does explain for Basic Members that upgrading their account makes them "qualify to earn referral income from users they register with or referrer to the network", however, once you upgrade to a Lifetime Member, it says NOTHING about referring users and the benefits of doing so!!!

I can find only this post https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19726.0.html which introduced how to use the referral program.
I'd like to see a new "Referral Program" board in the forum so the referrers can discuss there. (people's successes / failures, strategies, etc. etc)

//Edit: We could also ping @wmbutler @svk for improvements in the wallet, or submit suggestions here https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene-ui/issues

//Edit 3: more discussions here https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/board,48.0.html

I have mentioned a couple times, that I don't see the affiliate name being passed into the wallet's URL when people refer a user to the bitshares.org page, so it is best to have them go straight to the wallet with your links. This should be fixed. Not to mention, on bitshares.org, reading from left to right, it emphasizes Download Now before Online Wallet, which is totally backwards especially since if a user does select Download Now to download the wallet, it isn't possible at the moment for the ID of the referrer to get attached to the download link, so you would lose out anyway.

Who is in charge of the bitshares.org website?
Maybe we can submit issues here: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares.github.io
Or ping @cass @jakub @xeroc @valzav @bytemaster?

//Edit 2: See this post https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19689.0.html

Out of the 11 referred users I have so far, 1 is a test that I did. So out of the 10, 1 user has upgraded to an annual member, 1 has 40 bts in transaction fees, 1 has a total of 2 transactions, and the rest registered and did nothing. I am no affiliate wizard by any stretch of the imagination, but I run a regularly updated bitshares info blog, a bitshares info website, and have put banner ads front and center on a few of my other non-crypto sites. Admittedly, my sites are not by any stretch of the imagination high traffic sites. All told, less than $10 worth, most of which is from the one user who upgraded to an annual member.

It is kind of telling that the so called expert marketers, rgcrypto and bitmarket, are no where to be seen. Both received delegate pay at one point, and the latter was the one who helped design the affiliate system in the first place.

With that said, I still like it and have big expectations for the referral system personally and for bitshares as a whole. One suggestion I would make to those who are willing to do the unheralded dirty work, would be to inform affiliate marketers that this opportunity exists, i.e. a simple post in a forum like https://www.warriorforum.com/ might be all it would take to get some real marketers with their tens of thousands of newsletter followers in on the action.

If someone want to create account via lightwallet, referral code can be used for referral program. But I cannot find the code. Where is it?

I think the referral code is your account name.
On the "create account" page, it's optional to input a referral code, it will be passed to the faucet if registering via a faucet. On "settings" page there is a "faucet address" setting. But how to register a new account via faucet in light wallet? It's only possible to select my account from "pay from".

OP is looking for some fun with the sticky Announcement "Winter Storm".

我导入了0.9.3C钱包导出的备份，用了差不多20分钟读取到了36个账户，总共Found 438 private keys。但是然后就一直显示在读取余额中，已经持续了几个小时了。我用的是桌面轻钱包，WIN10环境。

我也是这个问题....

有没有试过最新版

The fee doesnt change for cli users ... effectively .. only what would have been paid to the referral program now goes to the fba .. BUT since the referral program CANNOT work together with stealth, these funds never would have went to the referal program in the first place ... so in the end it does change much for the end user but a fraction of bts profits is redirected to a fba

I'll try to make it more clear in the bsip after the holidays

It's obvious that the fees will increase a lot.

Current fees:

Transfer   30 BTS   6 BTS   20 BTS
...
Transfer to blind   20 BTS   4 BTS   -
   -  Price per output   20 BTS   4 BTS   -
Transfer from blind   20 BTS   4 BTS   -

New fees in the proposal:

2.  It shall provide the following fee based services:
       * Transfer from public account to their own private balance
       * Transfer from one of their private accounts to one of their private contacts
       * Transfer from one of their private accounts to any public account
       * Register a new account using a private balance.
       * Receive a private transfer from a 3rd party given a transfer receipt.
 3.  Each of these services shall charge a fee initially set at 3x the standard
     transfer fee, but which may be adjusted from time to time by the owner(s) of
     the Privacy Mode's management account (see [BSIP-0008](bsip-0008.md))

我说下我的具体问题吧

1、按照正常方式导出私钥并升级到2.0
2、假设我实际有效余额地址包含1.2.3.4.5.6.7，共计100万币
3、10月13号导出的私钥文件里却只包含了1.2.3.4.5（自己不可能知道的）
4、导入2.0领取发现只有80万币，另外丢了20万
5、重新进入BTS 0.9.3C扫描所有记录再次导出私钥文件.json
6、用新文件导入2.0发现确实还有6.7地址的20万币余额
7、领取余额，显示“你已经领取过”

我觉得是之前领取过的（1.2.3.4.5地址）被BTS2.0判断为已经领取过了，所以不让我领取（1.2.3.4.5.6.7地址）里的余额
所以，我要想办法把那20万未领取的地址6.7单独分出来试试

这个问题估计会有非常多的人遇到，但不一定都能发现自己少币少资产了
因为我在10.13号拍照之前几个小时，已经非常小心的取消了所有挂单，并满怀信心的scan过一次才导出的key.json
当初最正确的姿势其实应该是：wallet_scan_transaction

这当真是：
熊哥自以为很屌
智力超群乱冒泡
棋差一招急得跳
满盘皆输拽个毛
 BM 牛逼技术好
防不胜防币难找
哪个好人帮个忙
志玲姐也夸你高，啊夸你高

你如果知道哪个地址没有领过，就用这个命令 "wallet_dump_private_key 地址公钥" 可以拿到私钥，然后新建个钱包单独导入。

如果想在几万个key里面找没有领过的key，怕是有点麻烦。先用巨蟹前面发的帖子里面的方法过滤一遍，然后再找。

实在不行的话，把钱包发给我，我帮您试试看？
