Why does the link to your website contain referral? Not that I mind a ref link for something or someone contributing a beneficial info, but as this is an official ann, having personal benefit agenda by inserting ref is rather frowned upon and perceived as improfessional, isn't it?
Hello,
The referral we use on this site is not actually assigned to a person, it is just for us to have an additional trace where the subscriptions are coming from. We do have google analytics as well but if we have two posts on bitcointalk we want to see which thread let to which subscription.
And for convenience, we can trace this directly from the app without using analytics for that.
I hope it answers your questions
