Hello,

The new pricing scheme is now in place, and some of you will have
already been notified that your VPS has been reconfigured.

If anyone wants to upgrade their config, please have a look at
http://bitfolk.com/plans.html and then drop us an email to
support@??? with the details.

Now that the different plans are gone, the referral scheme got
simplified too. It's now just a straight 8% for service credit or
one-off 30% for donations.

Full disclosure: this got slightly less generous. It used to be
~8.75% for service credit and ~40% for donations.

Details: http://bitfolk.com/referrals.html

The referral scheme needs some work for integration into the panel.

I'm thinking that the order process needs a dedicated input field
for a referral code, which could also be automatically filled in
when someone arrives through a referral URL.

Once such an order is made you should be notified, and the referral
appear in the panel for you to choose whether it will be a service
credit or donation, so as to avoid the awkwardness of us having to
ask. :)

Cheers,
