Reddit users can now use the site’s bitcointip bot to offer a financial thumbs-up to fellow redditors on any subreddit.

Previously, the feature worked only on the Bitcoin subreddit. However, now redditors anywhere on the site can use the mention feature to tip other users for an insightful comment, payment or worthy cause.

I think this new ability will help generate awareness of bitcoin to the internet masses. I encourage anyone who has extra change to tip. It's one of the best marketing tools we have.

The "cash in your karma" feature is fantastic. I got another ~0.0012 BTC, haha.

Things like this are what make BTC more and more part of society and economy. It is good to see BTC be in a mainstream site the front page of the internet.

I don't think you can yet but it would be nice to add that ability as well, Smiley.

Very true. I'm wondering what happens if you try to tip someone that doesn't have a BTC address yet (or doesn't even know what it is)...

I get Reddit - but I don't actively use it.  Could someone conceivably make a full time living off of it with intelligent trolling (spreading good detailed info for 18-20 hrs a day?)  Heck I barely got going on here from the lure of free BTC for trying out new svcs.


Probably goes to a Reddit holding BTC address assigned to the user and fwds to the users address once setup.  (I'm talking from IMHO lingo and not from any stated facts anywhere)

Since it's tipping... it all depends on how many tips you get, :p. I've seen awesome comments on Reddit get nothing, and crappy ones get multiple donations of Reddit Gold.

The tips are public, as long as it's input as a comment. You can also pm the bot, in which case I don't think it'll be public. I've seen quite a few tips in the past.

Sometimes I get the feeling that people get happy when bitcoin gets attention because they want the value to go up.    Grin

Perhaps it is time to get on Reddit and spread some (very little) Bitcoin wealth around..

Hopefully more sites incorporate features like this in the future.

Business idea: A Bitcoin tipping platform.
...a company that offers integration service for adding tip off in media/social websites. Something ready to use for those websites.
