Title: Coinbase.com Puts Referral Program On Hold
Post by: Armchair Miner on August 18, 2012, 09:57:13 PM
Inside the site they say

UPDATE: the referral program is currently on hold.

They were giving away $0.20 per referral or so. It seems like it got too expensive after a Reddit viral campaign!

They pulled this pretty abruptly!

Not a great start for Your Hosted Bitcoin Wallet! ???

What, you think they were hoping for less people to sign up so they wouldn't have to pay out so much?   :D

Is their service similar to those of Instawallet and Easywallet, but more complete and safe?
Or not?

They never paid me or responded to my question about being paid and I did this a few days ago.

I made 3 real referrals of real people, got nothing. But I got it for my second* account, verified with the same cell number^^
