Title: Need help answering a Bitcoin Related question ...
Post by: bitstarter on December 08, 2011, 08:01:37 PM
I started a convo around a service someone is offering and asked him to include a bitcoin related button so people can "bitcent" others when they either like the enagement or content being passed to them.

Here is the convo:

I suggest BTCinch might have a solution but does anyone else know of a button that can be placed so people can give a few bitcents?

Thanks.

There was a recent question at Bitcoin SE that might be relevant: How can I accept Bitcoin donations on my blog or site? (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2161/how-can-i-accept-bitcoin-donations-on-my-blog-or-site)

There's another service in the same space ... PayBitBack.

Simply mention a person in a Tweet and then also mentioni @PayBitBack and the service will reply with a bitcoin address for the tip jar.  The funds received into the tip jar can then be redeemed only by that person.
  http://www.PayBitBack.com for instructions

I've tried it ... and it worked fine when the recipient understands bitcoin.  For others, it didn't go as well.   I doubt the tip I sent to a photographer ever got redeemed.

YouTipIt has "escrowed TipIts" which work the same way -- you initiate a tip to any Facebook user -- and only that user can redeem the tip.

Thanks for the help everyone! looking over what everyone suggested. I'll let you know how it goes.

update:  I've contacted Ira from BTCinch and he is reaching out to engag.io to discuss stuff should be interesting!
