Title: Bitcointip! Post by: jaywaka2713 on May 05, 2013, 05:23:37 AM We need a bitcointip feature on this forum, much like the one seen on Reddit. It would help important, knowledgeable members to provide their support/expertise with Bitcoin, and award real postings.

You know for a month I was into this idea (cause Erik put up a bounty mostly), and even built a prototype, and as I was testing it on my own dev machine smf board, it look was so annoying. It is so much easier to put your address in your signature and have people just send it to there. I don't see it really having the same effect as reddit, the reddit bot is more of an ad for bitcoins and reddit doesn't have a signature place, then a practical useful tool on a forum of bitcoin people.

Agreed. I doubt it'd be used much here. People very rarely tip signature addresses. It might be nice to have, but it's a very low priority. I'd be fine with a bot, though it shouldn't post in topics, and I'm not going to allow posts consisting entirely of bot commands. Title: Re: Bitcointip!

That's a shame: IMO, a bot is most useful when triggered by commands in posts. Do you think you'd ever change your mind on that, or do you feel pretty strongly about it? Title: Re: Bitcointip!

Post by: jaywaka2713 on May 06, 2013, 04:12:25 PM I think there should be a button added to everyone's posts, and when you click the button, it allows you to silently tip a defined amount, and the receipt can be viewed in messages. That way there is no clutter, and it is efficient.

It would be awesome if we could integrate cadmium's cointip bot, which already works, into a button. Check out his link above. |
