Bitcoin Tipping Poll

I think using a third party like changetip avoids having to pay the transaction fee. It would be pointless sending dust otherwise.

I have tipped some authors of online articles trying to reach the masses, posting on non btc related sites. It is dust and expensive dust considered the transaction fee. That is something that is not vouching for bitcoin. The Dogecoin option is far more forgiving for small transactions indeed, but I think will not be on the same par as bitcoin for it is too much based on the doge meme and will not by all be taken seriously.

After reading all your posts, I came to a conclusion (but somewhat lacking in supporting info):

Tipping regularly for fun like it's the thing to do (Dogecoin), is totally different from tipping once or twice for an article or something (Bitcoin)...  One might tip in BTC but may never tip again using it.  In Dogecoin, there's massive tipping because it's fun and a dogecoin is worth .0000xxx usd.  Very easy to do.

Because bitcoin is a deflationary currency, I think people would tend to hoard it, than giving them away via tips.  We would rather get something of the same value for it.  BTC is somethng more like gold than a currency.  When you hold it, you know you have sure value.

And yes, tipping dust won't mean much due to the transaction fee.  Although I hope people will tip more in BTC, I do not see it getting to a level where Dogecoin has set the bar in the future.  But who knows...

Tipped a bunch of people on facebook once that option went live.  Only one person accepted the tip though.

Tipping Bitcoins, i do that but only to stuff i find really good or donate to project that i find really good or important..

Because it's worth $$ so don't want to just give off my BTC to just anyone..

I wonder where this puts a high volume coin like Litecoin.  I haven't heard much from Litecoin in terms of... anything really.  Except that I am aware it's being traded in high volume which is always good. 

Any chance LTC tipping will take off?
