News Bitcoin - After Changetip’s Failure – Minitip Retries the Bitcoin Tipping Thing on Reddit

An early stage, Reddit-only application has recently launched within the social media giant, allowing users to tip each other small amounts of bitcoin. This free and simple system uses no other website or account and was created to replace the now-retired Changetip service.

On Friday evening, a Reddit user named ‘Minitip’ (u/Minitip) announced a new “free bitcoin tipping service whose only interface is Reddit”. The system was developed by Reddit user Cobos (/u/Cobosbfb) who said:

"I created Minitip because Changetip shut down a few months ago and I wanted to revive the concept of bitcoin tipping on Reddit, since it can be quite fun, brings people together, and brings a lot of exposure to Bitcoin as well."

what makes him think that minitip will be any different and survive longer than Changetip?
looks like the same concept,same funcionality and no way to monetise to be profitable (maybe I'm mistaken,but found no evidence of any sponsorship or any income source from ads)
also the transaction fee of 10.000 satoshi is way too low nowadays and it will have half of the transactions get stuck for days and some never confirm
overall its a meh idea,but if he finds some company to sponsor him or a way to monetise it with Reddit,it could be different from what Changetip had been
