A user hacks the new OnePlus 2 referral system

It is not necessary that you will like the new referral system of OnePlus 2 to be enthusiastic about the company's products, but it helps. The invitations OnePlus system serves to help the company to meet the demand for its products. Also keep in mind that the fact that OnePlus sell their terminals so cheap means they can not produce terminals based on expectations due to "limited" in its budget can not adopt that strategy.


A fan of OnePlus by the name of Jake Cooper was pretty angry. After buying a OnePlus One invitation last year to a user of XDA Developers, he made sure he was ready for this year registering with time, being the 9,000. However, the company allows users to upload queued inviting their friends. As a result, Jake Cooper looked at the list shortly after registering to prove that his position had risen from 9,000 to 70,000, which probably would not get the new flagship killer.

Still, this user would not easily give up. With their knowledge of Internet discovered a flaws in the referral system that allowed him to climb until 1694 position of the list and published in a post on Medium. With its insured discovery, Cooper sent a tweet to OnePlus that has captured the attention of the company and specifically its co-founder Carl Pei.


The fact is that this year from OnePlus distributed fifty times more invitations than last year during what were the first turbulent days of OnePlus One, although invitations were deactivated during the Black Friday as a special measure.
