How We Track Your Referrals

We use a simple, transparent tracking system:

  • Each referral link contains your unique donor code (e.g., donor12847)
  • When someone clicks your link, we save a cookie in their browser for 7 days
  • If they donate within those 7 days, you get credit automatically
  • You can see all your referrals in real-time on your donor dashboard
  • The system is 100% transparent - no hidden algorithms or manipulation
Important: Someone can only be referred once. The first referral link they click gets the credit. This ensures fairness and prevents gaming the system.

I just supported an amazing social experiment: Can 1 million people donate $1 each? Choose: Help restore a boat, reach $1M, or split 50/50. Every $1 = recognition entry for Caribbean trip! 🌴 Join me: [YOUR_LINK] #SendMeADollar #Crowdfunding

I recently discovered an interesting crowdfunding experiment called "Send Me A Dollar Please" and wanted to share it with you all. The concept: Two parallel goals running simultaneously: 1. Restore a Bavaria Sport 34 motorboat ($250K goal) 2. Reach $1 million through $1 donations (social experiment) You can choose which goal to support - or split your donation 50/50! What makes it unique: - Every donor gets a unique number and referral tracking - Gamification with badges and achievements - Caribbean celebration recognition program for contributors - 100% transparent with live stats and expense tracking Whether you donate $1 or $100, you become part of something interesting.

Subject: Thought you might find this interesting... Hey [Friend's Name], I came across this unique crowdfunding project that I thought you might enjoy - it's called "Send Me A Dollar Please." The creator is running two simultaneous campaigns: - A practical goal: Raise $300,000 to restore a motorboat - An experimental goal: See if 1 million people will donate $1 each You get to choose which one to support, and every donor gets tracked with their own donor number and referral code. There's even a recognition program for a Caribbean celebration trip based on how many people you refer! I found the transparency aspect really appealing - they show all donations, expenses, and progress in real-time. If you're curious, check it out here: [YOUR_LINK] No pressure at all - just thought it was a cool concept! [Your Name]

Important Rules: No Spam Policy

⚠️ We take spam seriously. Violations will result in immediate disqualification from the Recognition Program and potential removal from the platform.

What Counts as Spam?

  • Mass unsolicited messages: Sending your link to hundreds of people who didn't ask for it
  • Bot activity: Using automated tools to post your link across the internet
  • Comment spam: Posting your link in unrelated forums, YouTube comments, or social media threads
  • Fake accounts: Creating multiple accounts to donate to yourself
  • Misleading content: Lying about what the project is or making false promises
  • Harassment: Repeatedly contacting the same person after they've declined
  • Platform violations: Breaking the terms of service of social media platforms

What's Totally Fine?

  • ✅ Posting on your own social media accounts
  • ✅ Sharing in relevant communities where self-promotion is allowed
  • ✅ Sending personalized messages to friends/family
  • ✅ Creating original content (videos, blog posts) about the project
  • ✅ Adding your link to your email signature or bio
  • ✅ Participating in discussions naturally and mentioning the project when relevant
  • ✅ Being creative and authentic in your promotion

How We Monitor

We use a combination of automated systems and manual review to detect spam behavior:

  • Suspicious referral patterns (too many in short time, same IP addresses)
  • Community reports from other users
  • Social media monitoring for spam complaints
  • Donation patterns that suggest fake activity
Golden Rule: If you wouldn't want someone to share something with YOU that way, don't do it. Be respectful, be authentic, and focus on quality over quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my favorite branch later?

Yes! You can update your favorite branch anytime from your donor dashboard. It won't affect your existing referrals - they still count toward your total.

What if someone uses multiple links from different people?

The first link they click gets credit. We save a cookie for 7 days, so whoever introduced them to the project first gets the referral.

Do I need to donate to a specific branch to promote it?

No! You can promote any branch regardless of where you donated. However, setting a "favorite" helps us showcase your support authentically.

Can I see who donated through my link?

You'll see the total count of referrals on your donor dashboard, but we protect donor privacy by not showing individual names unless they've opted to display publicly.

Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?

No limit! The more people you authentically introduce to the project, the better. Just make sure you're following our no-spam policy.

What happens if I get reported for spam?

We'll investigate any reports. If confirmed, you'll be disqualified from the Recognition Program and potentially removed from leaderboards. Severe cases may result in a full ban. Play fair!
