PROS:
CONS: not known at this time, but we all know that no system is perfect. join me in my effort to perfect this proposition for a better bitcointalk.org r3wt Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: BitCoinNewGuy on June 10, 2013, 09:52:24 PM Tipping would be awesome! I have often wanted to tip people who make quality, informed, posts. It will motivate people to do exactly that.

Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: tysat on June 10, 2013, 09:53:29 PM It's been talked about some before, I think for the most part it's not really used (going off of tips people get from addresses in profile/sigs).

I wouldn't use it. Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: r3wt on June 10, 2013, 09:59:27 PM some all around good points from both of you. perhap we could gather all of the reputable escrows and allow them to manage the wallets. give them a cut.

Why bother? There is nothing here that a wallet plugin in the browser wouldn't solve. Blockchain.info already made one that connects to the BitcoinQT on the desktop through the API, why wouldn't it work like that for sending tips? Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: Welsh on June 10, 2013, 10:06:03 PM Just display you're Bitcoin address and ask for tips if they liked you're post etc. It's the same principle but without the hassle of having a tip bot.

Totally agree. Why even try to overcomplicate the situation?Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: tysat on June 10, 2013, 10:45:16 PM Also now you can put a bitcoin address in the forum profile. ^^ This A tip thing sounds cool at first, but people are hardly going to use it. It's just not worth implementing, plus I can imagine it'd lead to hacking attempts and more begging.

Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: blueblade123 on June 11, 2013, 10:53:08 AM I'll add a Con:
No one tips! It'll be completely pointless, and unused. I haven't come across a single post that someone tipped another person, or gave away coins for free. (P.s. I'm sure they are out there, you don't have to search the whole forum to prove me wrong. But it's not very common.) Title: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: tom1 on June 11, 2013, 11:38:11 AM No one tips! What about Bitcoinbillionaire (http://www.reddit.com/user/bitcoinbillionaire)? This guy has been giving away over $10k worth of bitcoins ;DTitle: Re: Pros and Cons Of Adding a Tipping Feature to the Forum Post by: raze on June 11, 2013, 12:06:04 PM I'll add a Con: No one tips!

I've offered to tip someone (can't remember who it was) but they respectfully declined because they didn't need it. |
