Quello Development Update #4 - Sign Ups, Beneficiaries and Referrals with Reward Sharing

<p dir="auto"><span>Hello everyone, each week we like to provide you with information surrounding the development work being carried out Quello.io. This week we're happy to announce the following changes to <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io <h4><span>Ability to sign up to Hive via <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/vgVeFxoM-screely-1595025789693.png" alt="screely1595025789693.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/vgVeFxoM-screely-1595025789693.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/vgVeFxoM-screely-1595025789693.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><span>This week we've been working hard to bring some crucial changes to the site and overall improve the way people get started using Quello. At Quello, we're focussed on creating an easy to use, an intuitive platform that allows users the ability to ask and answer questions on the Hive blockchain, alongside that we're focusing on attracting new users to Hive and show them the power of this community and the applications within. However, with that said, it's hard to attract new users without sign up directly on our site, that's why this week we've been focussed on adding the ability for new users and we're happy to announce that sign up is now available on <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io <p dir="auto">Currently, our sign up made up of the following steps: <ol> <li>Account name selection where a user can choose the name of the account they wish to create. <li>Key generation and download to allow a user to securely store their keys. <li>Mobile verification to prevent abuse and multiple sign-ups for a single user. <h4>Earn rewards for signing up new users to Quello & Hive <p dir="auto"><span>Alongside the ability to sign up, we're also happy to announce we've introduced a referral program into <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io, and we think you're going to love how it works. <p dir="auto"><strong>up to three key entities involved:<span>Over the past couple of months, <a href="/@hiveonboard">@hiveonboard in partnership with the <a href="/@peakd">@peakd team has been working to define a referral program that incentivizes you to refer new users to the Hive blockchain. Within this program, they define that part of the rewards for posts made by the users who you refer and shared with a selection of key individuals. When a new user joins the HIVE ecosystem there are usually <ul> <li>The <code>referrer who brought the new user to HIVE <li>The <code>creator who funded the account creation operation <li>The <code>provider who provided a software solution to make it happen <p dir="auto"><span>Within this program, they assign several beneficiaries to the posts of newly created users to reward the people who brought them to the chain. In line with this, we're happy to say we're now supporting this within Quello and we'll automatically add the relevant beneficiaries for users you sign to the Hive blockchain for their questions and answers. This also means that anyone you have previously referred using <a href="/@hiveonboard">@hiveonboard will have beneficiaries applied for their questions and answers on <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io <p dir="auto"><span>Currently, both <a href="/@hiveonboard">@hiveonboard (<a href="/@roomservice">@roomservice) and <a href="/@quello">@quello apply a 3% referral beneficiaries to the user who referred the user to Hive, this means that you can earn an unlimited amount of Hive from referrals and earn more based on how successful each individual you invite to Hive is. <h4>Earn rewards for signing up existing users to Quello <p dir="auto">When adding the referral system we didn't want to limit your ability to earn rewards to be just for new Hive blockchain users and that's why we've also introduced a similar concept of reward sharing when to refer existing Hive users to Quello. Every time you refer existing Hive users to Quello you will be eligible to receive 2% of their rewards for questions and answers they create, this applied using beneficiaries in a similar method as described during sign up. <p dir="auto"><span>To promote users to keep this beneficiary applied we have decided to reduce our beneficiary so this comes at no additional cost to users of <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io Currently, Quello applies a 5% beneficiary on all questions and answers created on Quello, however, with the introduction of the referral system, we have decided to reduce our referral to 3% when referrals are applied. <p dir="auto">Note: If you remove the beneficiaries under 5%, we will return to our standard 5% beneficiary. <h4>Beneficiaries <p dir="auto"><span>We've also added the ability for users to add and remove beneficiaries to their questions and answer of <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io, in line with the referral program definition, users can remove referral beneficiaries should they wish to, however, it's important to remember that if you help them become successful on Hive it's likely they'll keep your beneficiary anyway. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/Lu2isKSV-screely-1595025957631.png" alt="screely1595025957631.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/Lu2isKSV-screely-1595025957631.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/quello/Lu2isKSV-screely-1595025957631.png 2x" /> <h4>Tracking Referrals <p dir="auto"><span>You can track your referrals directly on <a href="https://quello.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io by visiting <a href="https://quello.io/referrals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://quello.io/referrals once signed in.
