RE: eSteem and Steem referrals, incentivize users to invite friends
Referral feature YES, but I do not think this needs to be rewarded at all with some lifetime percentage of earnings of the new users a user referred. This will build pyramids! When a reward, then only one time fee. But, I also think that when we have the referral feature, it'll be used by any users that likes Steemit anyway, even if it is without any incentive! The referral method shall be super super simple and users will start to press the referral button, am pretty sure of that.
ok but where does that one time fee come from? Also what is to stop people from creating tons of new sock puppet accounts just to collect that one time fee?
I not technical enough to understand what can be implemented in a way that abuse cannot happen. Therefore I would say: no rewards to referrals if 1-time-fee is prone to abuse.
