Title: Ways to automate crypto referral program?
Post by: bpwallace on March 27, 2018, 07:44:17 AM
I have a project getting closer to completion and am looking for a way to automate the payments to users who earn from referrals. Does anyone know of something like this or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, don't know such a solution, but very interested to hear options how to do that. Automation will make this process much more convenient.

Can you give some more information on what it is your trying to do.

E.g do you have all the names and addresses on a spreadsheet?
How many participants?
What coin or token will you be distributing?

I’m sure there could be a batch script that could be made.

So users earn a % on anyone they sign up and future revenue as well using their ref link. I know little about programming which is why I've hire people who do! I was hoping for an already made program to do everything automatically. As in connect to payment gateway or some way to track how much the users they sign up are paying to calculate fee, and then pay these people in bitcoin. In the first few months it could be as little as 10 people (hopefully not!) or it could be 1000 people (hopefully!). If you think the only way is to write a script ourselves then we will have to do that. Although I could manually pay out users for a while until it becomes too much to handle which is probably the best choice seen as it looks like nothing exists yet.

It’s definitely possible to write something to do it if you can’t find something out there that already exists.

Not sure if this is for you but it shows that with a php script you can send a payment using an API.

If you have a dev ask them to test it with one small payment and if that works you can build a front end for it.

First of all what do you use php+MySql , Nodejs+MongoDB or any other combination, other DBs? Secondly it can be done why not? Although it is kinda hard to shoot in the dark and try to explain something while we don't know how is your solution implemented in what way exactly, what you have and what you don't have.

From the text you provided above I came to conclusion that you have already made up everything and have the amount you should "pay" to other users? If this is the case adding few lines of code to grab this number and add it as referral commission on other persons number of available funds or create something where you will present when the commision was payed and how much etc shouldn't be huge deal.

As I told above, we don't know what you have and in what way you want to implement this, as of course there are a lot of different variations of different ways in doing so.
