Gotta a few hours to spare and added support for the
Open Standard for a HIVE Account Referral System to the Condenser frontend which is currently used on
https://hive.blog as many of you know.
Since these changes are not live yet and the repository owner has to decide if to accept the merge request or not - I would love to give you an overview about the changes.
Default Beneficiaries For Referred Accounts
When a new account, which was referred before creates a post, the suggested beneficiaries will be default settings now. For all other accounts, nothing will change.
In this sample the following json_metadata where set for the new referred account:
{
"beneficiaries": [
{
"name":"roomservice",
"weight":300,
"label":"referrer"
},
{
"name":"tipu",
"weight":100,
"label":"creator"
},
{
"name":"hiveonboard",
"weight":100,
"label":"provider"
}
]
}
These values are now set as default when creating a post.
Abuse Prevention
I've added some additional rules for the beneficiaries in order to be accepted on condenser:
- Maximum
weight for referrer = 300 - Maximum
weight for creator = 100 - Maximum
weight for provider = 100
If anyone creates an account with higher fees than this, it won't be accepted and not set as a beneficiary.
Opt-Out Option
As a requirement of the Open Standard everyone who was referred by this system, has a choice to opt-out.
I've added such an option to the Preferences where it can be changed at any time.
Test Run
In order to test everything out, I've created a new account
@referral-tester where you can inspect all the stuff, which has happened on the chain.

200 HIVE Bounty for the first dApp Adoption still available
As mentioned in my
last post I put a 200 HIVE bounty up to the first dApp which integrates the
Open Standard for a HIVE Account Referral System. Since it makes no sense to send funds to myself, the bounty is still in place, even if this merge request will be accepted.
Looking Forward
If the Merge Request would be accepted it would be a great success for evolving the Referral System and will create incentives for everybody to onboard new people to HIVE!
This is @roomservice and when you like my work, I would be glad to be your witness: Vote here
