July 11, 2021Fascinating to see the disconnect between fundamentals of a crypto/stock and the price action created by market movers and how it seems to follow so many mathematical patterns. Makes you want to be a trader but then you remember 90%+ or whatever just lose money and the bigger market makers are out there with the big money and algorithms designed to liquidate you and steal your bitcoin. Alluring but probably more stressful than a day job. [...]

What happened to referrals?
They still exist. I removed the dedicated page/graphs as part of the great culling. I don't think the incentive was ever big enough. I'd like to make it bigger but that requires something very sybil resistant.
What's the biggest typical referral payout?
Very rarely they are a few thousand sats. I think the problem is that they aren't deterministic enough. As in, do X get Y.
We were thinking about Amazon's affiliate referrals when we designed them but I find the fintech/enterprise ones most effective. I recently referred someone to mercury and got $250 when they deposited $10k.
That's awesome but would also require that any of us are doing anything worth $250 on here.
I think something like that works at 1k sats too. So it might make sense to do 1k sats after a referred person spends 10k sats or something.
Could be a win-win, since that's probably less than you'd get from the current referral system.
