STEEM is a blockchain that Steemit runs on, but Byteball is not a blockchain - it's a DAG which is a "Directed Acrylic Graph" - see Byteball Wiki

Hope that helps to clarify for future readers ✌😉

If the person uses the link to download a wallet and meets qualifications (which have been updated) the referrer should get the reward immediately upon the person signing up getting their tokens. I understand that some are not receiving their tokens, but since it is all there and immutable similar to blockchain - it can be resolved in time.

I'm happy to have gotten the airdrop and I won't sweat over anything beyond that. It's all a bonus to me 😆 Call me a bytebal-liever but I think it's awesome to be part of the 1st ever STEEMIT AIRDROP!! (Sound the alarm🚨)

If you want to get rid of your bytes, there's a new service @jackmiller and I started called @balls2steem where you can sends bytes and get STEEM. Just tossing that out there if you're interested.

Blockchain or graph is for all practical purposes the same thing. Technicalities are different but final results (like immutability) are more or less the same.

And being aCRylic, or rather ACYCLIC does not mean that off-chain or off-graph mechanisms should be applied to referencing. And this issue is not going to be resolved. If you didn't get your referral then you are not going to get it.

The fact is that current referral system sucks. I like the idea of them bytes and DAG but it requires fine-tuning.

I agree that the fact that it should not be a faulty system and that the current referral system is not effective or totally serving the utility/function it was designed for. The problem is not really the system, it's more a problem of the people abusers. This makes a simple system worthless. Technology is great in theory and sometimes all it takes is a few people to F it all up for everyone.

Hope it gets fixed, but I'm happy with being included in the first Steemit airdrop. That's one for the books ✌️😎
