Pyramining:
I noticed that it is possible to nullify everyone else's referral links without depositing BTC. I think this could become a problem if it already hasn't.
If referrals would only expire once BTC are deposited, it might keep everyone a little bit more honest.
I think it would be kind of cheap if your account said it had a 10% and then right as you're about to deposit some BTC it's 5%.
Yeah, there's a problem that occurs when it basically becomes an (unknown) race as to who can deposit and get their BTC confirmed first. And what happens if two accounts that register with that referral both have their deposits confirmed at the same time? Perhaps you can just keep the existing one-account-per-referral scheme, but have the referral link reactivate and the registered (empty) account deleted after 5 or so days of no deposits?
That's a good point. I think 30 minutes would be plenty of time. Otherwise, it's not really worth the effort. I update my referrals at least daily. If they reactivated in 5 days, it woudn't do a whole lot.
If, say, the time is 30 minutes, then also there must be a 30 minute delay before new referrals are generated.
An interesting dilemma, may not even be worth changing?
It was a little bit tempting however, when this company first announced itself and there were lots of referrals, to go through and activate everyone else's (a.k.a. psy's) links by simply clicking them and giving a dummy address (I didn't do it though)
