Anyone else finds it ironic that THE forum on BTC doesn't integrate tipping?

I don't see the slack I guess?

The "slack" where I didn't want to say my true thoughts on changetip.

So forums shouldn't integrated tipping because of liability, and that liability shouldn't be outsourced to a third party because they won't do it for free?

Now on to teaching  Grannies and Grandpas on how to copy/paste addresses into their wallet software to send someone 50cents

Not at all. This isn't Reddit or Twitter.

I just now saw your post. Thanks a lot, I was racking my brain last night (mainly because of the wine) trying to figure out who sent me btc.

That wasn't so hard at all!

I'd do it too but meh don't want to start up my wallet

Am i missing something here? I'd think bitcointalk would be on the forefront of tipping integration on forums

bitcoin isn't good for microtransactions.

I know, i know, it's being pitched that way outside but really the tech isn't made for that mini-transaction stuff.

There's dozens of alts for tipping ...

I fear if tipping is allowed here on the forums it will turn into a handouts competition from day one.

Can you clarify, tipping on forums in general, or only on this forum specifically?

What distinguishes integrating tipping and current system? If someone found your post useful he can send BTC to your own address in the signature (or profile) or even ask PM your address if you do not specify your address.

Ease of use. See my response before about sending carrier pigeons vs email, iphones etc...

The two main arguments against it seem to contradict one another.
1st argument - there's already a way to tip now, everything works fine so why improve?   
2nd argument - there are no beggers/spam now because no one is tipping (thus beggers don't bother). Once you make it easy and people will actually start tipping it will open a pandora's box for all the evils that come with tipping

I report begging posts pretty fast after they're posted (as I get new topic notifications for some sections) and some are removed before I can click the link. It may seem counter-intuitive, but I don't think there will be an increase in begging if tipping addresses are integrated (more than just a lame plaintext entry in profiles that has to be copy-pasted); if anything, it may encourage people to make more quality posts so they get tipped without having to ask.

Yep, over half the posts are trolls anyway can't imagine tipping worsening the situation
