Go upgrade to the latest Bitshares Astro UI release!
https://github.com/BTS-CM/astro-ui/releases/latest
The [Bitshares Astro UI](https://github.com/BTS-CM/astro-ui) uses next-gen web technologies, establishing a from scratch replacement for the reference Bitshares user interface!
So what has changed in this latest release?
Referral system update
It was the case up until now the referrer/registrar for an account created within the Bitshares Astro-UI app was statically coded to be the developer's own Bitshares account.
Compared to the reference Bitshares web wallet where you can referr people to the wallet, it means that people would be more likely to refer new users to use the web wallet instead of the Astro-UI.
Now there's a new system! As you can see from the header image!
We now look back 1 month in duration, tally how much users have donated in that month, and the top donator will be the one who will be accredited with the referral/registration of an account created using the Bitshares Astro-UI app!
You still need to have a life-time membership, otherwise the Bitshares core blockchain logic will reject your claim, but otherwise it's now a system that is live!
So say if you were to donate 2 BTS (1 more than the current top user) this month, your referrals of new users to use the Bitshares Astro-UI will grant you a slice of that new user's fees over the lifetime of their account (or at least until they upgrade their account).
TOTP deeplink support
Timed one-time passcode deeplinks are a feature within BeetVault which enable you to encrypt the contents of a deeplink to further secure the contents of your deeplink; this is now fully supported by the Bitshares Astro-UI!
Misc smaller changes
Testnet account sign up fix re referrer/registrar UX tweaks (colourful accents, icon colour fixes) Localization fixes BeetEOS -> BeetVault branding changes
