RE: Quick Update about the vote for the next release
With the move to Graphene 2.0 I would like to see the news all over the place.
I agree, it wasn't until a couple weeks ago I even started hearing about graphene and researched it. Its weird how few people know about the powerful blockchain that is powering steem. I hope this will be a lot more out there once we start marketing and maybe reviving a referral program.
Agree that referral program has been on the back burner for ages. I hope something is done about it soon.
I don't like a referral program. Referral programs tend to be very expensive and increase a lot of sales cost. I believe it is more valuable to invest into the ecosystem itself instead of referrals which means giving money outside the ecosystem.
Usually referrals are needed in ecosystems that are not sustainable, like ponzi schemes, gambling etc. Good products usually do not need them. I think steem is strong enough without an referral program. I also believe the issue are more retention. If we fix the retention issue would do a lot better. We have 100k users but only few of them are active. we need to figure out how to keep people engaged first and foremost. i think it would be better to focus on rewarding new and small users and increase engagement.
I think we need to focus on building a strong product instead of focusing on sales or marketing.
These are just my thoughts. Happy to have a dialog about it.
