This is a very generous campaign, let's if I can get some referrals on this one.

They are down now.
I tried their previous referral bonus program for $5, never worked.
I don't have confidence in this campaign either

Yeah, it was spotty at best, but worked from time to time.

Bottom line is... If your promoting their services, you'll likely only have the stupid link work 1 out of 10 times.

Well, if they are shaving affiliate earnings or their referral system doesn't work very well, that may be the reason why people isn't promoting the website so much.

I didn't promote the website until now, but with this offer I'll give it a try. Smiley

Not a professional way to attract business

Bitcoin should be moving away from these sort of  ideas

the general public will see

referrals .........pyramid............ponzi   Grin



i totally agree about it, but people should start to divide what is a fail from bitcoin and what's not and ofc this is not a fail from bitcoin, this is from those guys who want to attract ppl to his business.

A bitcoin wallet service, Coinbase introduced referral bonuses to attract new customers. If your friend joins Coinbase and buys more than $100 worth of bitcoins you will receive $25, €25 or £25 bonus.

The company announced the new programme on their site:

“To earn the referral bonus of 25 USD (or 25 EUR or 25 GBP depending on where you’re located), you can copy your referral link from the referrals page. If someone clicks your link and signs up for Coinbase within 90 days, you will be credited as the referrer for that customer. If the customer buys $100 USD or more of bitcoin on Coinbase at any point in the future, we will send you $25 of bitcoin.”
