We need a bitcointip feature on this forum, much like the one seen on Reddit. It would help important, knowledgeable members to provide their support/expertise with Bitcoin, and award real postings.

You know for a month I was into this idea (cause Erik put up a bounty mostly), and even built a prototype, and as I was testing it on my own dev machine smf board, it look was so annoying. It is so much easier to put your address in your signature and have people just send it to there. I don't see it really having the same effect as reddit, the reddit bot is more of an ad for bitcoins and reddit doesn't have a signature place, then a practical useful tool on a forum of bitcoin people. |

Agreed. I doubt it'd be used much here. People very rarely tip signature addresses. It might be nice to have, but it's a very low priority. I'd be fine with a bot, though it shouldn't post in topics, and I'm not going to allow posts consisting entirely of bot commands. |

That's a shame: IMO, a bot is most useful when triggered by commands in posts. Do you think you'd ever change your mind on that, or do you feel pretty strongly about it? |

I think there should be a button added to everyone's posts, and when you click the button, it allows you to silently tip a defined amount, and the receipt can be viewed in messages. That way there is no clutter, and it is efficient.

+1 I like the idea of easy tipping, but a bot would be way too noisy especially if it posts in topics like a normal user (as the reddit bot does). |
Bitcoin Core developer [PGP] Warning: For most, coin loss is a larger risk than coin theft. A disk can die any time. Regularly back up your wallet through File → Backup Wallet to an external storage or the (encrypted!) cloud. Use a separate offline wallet for storing larger amounts. |
