This is a fantastic development!
I am bit late to this conversation but I'm just reading this post now...and it's great. I was just thinking the other day to do a how-to use hive workshop here in the Danang for Crypto people and was going to use Travelfee, but this is much better.

While it is probably frowned upon in some sense, I think having an active affiliate program for HIVE would help drive adoption.

While affiliate marketing is questionable sometimes, it also excites marketers to get out there and start promoting. We need an army of free marketers promoting for us.

How this could work ??

• Perhaps everyone who follows your referral link to https://hiveonboard.com/ then completes the signup process and then completes seven posts over the first month, you get credited with a token (or HIVE) they can sell on the exchange.
• or something like coin base does where if they complete a certain set of tasks (like watch videos and learn about HIVE and how to use it, get 100 upvotes and post 7 posts) then you can the person who refers you will et 50 hive.

but that's just my thought.
!Happy to see this development
