Would it be possible to add a little script where the link to OL contains a random ref?

Ref pool would be everyone with a set bts id in their profile

That is a great idea. 

Btw, @fav could you please take off the committee update sticky?  Seems updates will not be going there.

I looked into vesting .. the only issue I see here is that they cost $5 per vbo. With well over300 people, that is a bunch of money just to send them out ..
I might draw a threshold line at some number of posts and only give those above that line a VBO .. e.g. the 'big fishes'

As an idea, maybe you can distribute them using sharebot, it's useful to distribute for forum members, so everybody will withdraw them by himself.
Let's ask @fuzzy

though id love to i have to say the sharebot is not ready yet.  It will be worked on though.

here is the lightly edited one (added intro and cut out excess empty space).

Dan has sent me 224,201 BROWNIE.PTS that are up for donations among loyal and honorable members of the community (I fear, tonyk, that includes you!)

I'd like to take a portion of them and give every forum member that have more than 300 posts (164, excluding me, stan and bytemaster)

304 当年很厉害
with a total of 159532 posts.

With half of the BROWNIE.PTS, I would give about 0.7 BROWNIE.PTS per
post
(224201/2) / 159532 = 0.7026834


What to do with the other half? Suggestions?

Keep them and buy steem tokens/vests or bts with them. Then pass them out to people who work free (because a worker will not pay for them) who you still think should be doing what they need to do. Yes, like @esteffan says...it wont likely pay for much work, but sometimes there are dire situations where the tokens could really help us if leveraged into he right person with the right solution for the right problem. 

I love your spirit though and how it goes along with the theme of Steem itself to give to those who post and curate content (on our forums).  Just really think sometimes it would be best to give them away in times when funding (or political wherewithal) is low.  Just my two cents. 

For the record, there is this largely unused, but potentially very useful LinkedIn group, which I currently administer:
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8267145

We are currently 59 members, strong but largely silent types, so far.  I'd be happy for any and all community participation in the group and consider it a BitShares community social media asset.

Also, consider that LinkedIn is a largely unexplored realm for reaching fresh eyes with the business potential of BitShares.

Example: Let's go search all posts on LinkedIn for any mentioning the word 'Blockchain' in the title.
Ok, There are 272 posts which fit this criteria in the last week.  Comment, share, post, repeat.

Also, who controls 'bitshares' on Instagram?  I'd like to contribute to our Instagram feed, and I would be good at creative bitshares / crypto related images and connecting with other people on Instagram.  Since my photo is already up there, maybe that qualifies me.

i love the idea.
