Hmmm, OK, that's too bad. Have we thought of other ways that these links can be shared? Maybe verified accounts could click a button that would send a text message of the link to a phone number? An account could become verified through a 2-step authentication. It could then start with 10 points, each call invitation sent out costs 1 point and each time a unique number confirms the message the account gets 2 points (similar to the zero-sum email idea used by Zmail [1]). How long are the unique identifiers valid for? 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes?
