That's an awesome infographic! Will definitely refer to it in next weeks Newbee Digest.
I have mixed feelings about the 3% beneficiary reward, because that kind of referral system gives it a MLM-like vibe (which it in no way is, but people could mistake it for it).
For now I'm delegating my referrals 15 HP as suggested, until I run out and there are already a couple of people on standby who I can go to if help is needed.
I do think people that invest time in onboarding could be rewarded and I'm willing to delegate 100 HP to the person who onboards the most people in June. It's not much, but it's a start right? And there sure will be more people on the chain willing to contribute.
Referral programs don't work if people lose money in referring new users.
That's just a fact. As i said in the post, advanced users can turn off this beneficiary setting, once they get more knowledge.
No big influencer will even bother onboarding if there is not some economic benefit for them. That's just the reality.
True.
But, looking at the big picture. I personally don't onboard people to economically benefit from it directly. Indirectly, I know proper onboarding leads to a bigger community, a bigger community leads to better proof of work, which leads to interest in the blockchain. The bigger the blockchain gets, the more we all gain from it. Sometimes you don't have to economically benefit straight away.
What @roomservice built is pure gold. It has never been so easy to onboard someone. So, I want to support something that is good. I can delegate 100 HP to a service that gives me the highest reward, but I rather delegate 100 HP to the person that onboards the most people in June. So let me know if there is any interest in that offer. If not, I'll fully understand.

yes, definitely! We are in the planning stages of having a contest to see who can onboard the most users, so your 100 HP offer is great! I'll keep you updated as we get more concrete timelines. Thank you.
Awesome! I'll make sure to reserve the 100 HP. Feel free to tag me in the contest posts. 👍
yes i will! thank you!
As for the referral program, you know which 'crypto' referral programs are best known around the world? OneCoin and DagCoin...And yes, I know...👀
I would never want to hear people to associate Hive with that, hence my concerns.
Well, those are scams. People who get help in the beginning, and who start earning on Hive will know this is a decent place. The beneficiary rewards actually incentivize people to help others. This is a positive thing. It's not related at all to scams. Let's face it, unless we all get serious about onboarding, Hive will just remain a small niche thing.
