Referral program is going to remain a challenge. Most stackers prefer to remain nym on SN and the most likely referrals would be to people they know in the real world. This likely prevents them from referring even though they love and support SN.
Mhh, I see, good point! I think if we allow invites without gifts, they could work as anonymized referral links. Then you could still refer people IRL without exposing your nym. The only downside is that you can't use invites to link to some post simultaneously.
I continue to be shocked how many highly active bitcoiners on twitter and nostr have never been on SN. Need to capture this low hanging fruit. Personally I would like to see SN accounts much more active on social media and much more proactive at identifying and engaging with potential users.
I wonder how much conversion is related to aversion of centralized services from bitcoiners. At least on nostr, I would think that most are active there due to the decentralization aspect.
I also have to admit that I planned to be more active on nostr but my activity is quite embarrassing.
Go back to daily rewards or test weekly but no leaderboard.
I am also wondering if we should do more events that sound fun and we can mention in social media, for example a day where everyone is @anon or whatever else we can come up with. I also thought about doing something like r/place but maybe SN is way too small for an event like this.
Or a "Zappy Hour" instead of Happy Hour, like at bars lol!
No idea what it would consist of though, if it's only an hour people might feel left out. I suppose it would depend on what happens during the hour, and if it's random or fixed, time zones and all that.

If Stacker News can find a way to get me half-price nachos and cheap beer, I'm in.
