Yesterday was very encouraging. Huge pump last night, but still settled in around 80 latoshi. Hopefully more good news coming with a btc pairing, and the return of invisibel. Held onto all my TiPS so far, which was tough when it shot to 124.
Hi, I am total new at this, but I do have 20 million tips. Haven't looked at this for a few weeks and am catching up today. Just wondering what would 20 mill tips be worth in dollars if I sold them for 124 latoshi? Thanks That was my post from Saturday lol. It only briefly reached 124 on Bter. I didn't run the numbers, but my guess is around $300-$350. Thanks that's way more than I paid for them. I just don't know how to figure price. Or how to sell if I wanted to. LOL Right now you only can trade your TiPS for Litecoin (LTC) on several exchanges listed on the website ( http://fedoraco.in). But we hope we will soon have TiPS/BTC exchange. You can then trade your Litecoin for real money on exchanges like BTC-E ( http://btc-e.com). However now is not a good time for trading LTC into Fiat currencies as the exchange rate is quite low...

Everyone needs to re-read "Pugwalker's" Feb 22nd post on this thread ..
His comments are 'spot on' and should be the SOLE focus of this coin's dev team going forward !!
=====
Cryptocurrencies arent all that useful.... the strongest real use for a cryptocurrency i can possibly think of is tipping content producers on the internet with tips like a youtube video. instead of "tweet this" its "tip this" at the bottom of the page.
The way content producers make money right now is through ads. This isnt very practical at all. Very few people are able to do it because you need tens of thousands of views to make anything remotely. Also adblock is becoming the norm. It will be impossible to make money from it soon. But with tipping you could have like 30 guys that come to your blog/youtube/tumblr but you provide them a serious stream of content that benefit them in some way. Like exercise techniques for example. So you have these 30 guys coming to your page but you are making a living off it simply cuz theyre rich tip holders who have an easy way to spend money on what they truly value
Theres no easy way to donate to people via paypal... you have to have a working paypal setup a lot of people dont... people from different countries have different currencies its not viable to tip them to an american... kids can now tip people wheras paypal requires you to be 18. You dont need a bank account or credit card. Theres a lot of different problems with donating with paypal. Not to mention there are chargebacks and fees and its just not as easy as just clicking 1 tip button. You cant send somebody 1/8th of a penny in paypal either.
Thats the only selling point a cryptocurrency could ever have. So to say that you shouldnt focus your marketing on exclusively tipping is nonsense. I think anything that detracts from tipping is damaging

LET's GET THIS DONE ....... NOW !!!
After all our coin symbol is TIPS ..........
Triff ..
+1000.000.000!!

There's no need to wait for invisible to say yes/no to the youtube/social-media tipping bot. This is a free coin and everyone is free to create services around it as he likes to. So if there are some guys that are able and willing to realize this thing - go ahead!

Agreed. For that we don't need the agreement of Invisibel. He canno't be against an app which will spread TiPS all around YouTube  But if you guys want to reach the devs, don't forget to go on Reddit or on the IRC channel. Except Invisibel, all the others don't go often around here... EDIT: I posted that in the FedoraCoin subreddit, hope it will work

im still waiting for invisbel to take initiative it would be nice to just hear his opinion on everything to me its great if someone wants to start to work on a tipping app for youtube but its also crucial that we get the full rebranding through its not hard to change a logo and a few colors https://i.imgur.com/Ycf6o7g.jpgthen we just gotta like ask reddit to change our subreddit name so we dont have to switch to a new one and lose all our subscribers

This is awesome.
I will bring it up to dev so we can change reddit theme. There's another branding process in the works, though.... with Orange... but I think I prefer this scheme.

jtb, you're my boy, you know this... but if you want to influence marketing i need more support in the chats. The devs are pretty adamant about sticking with their colors, and any go-between from the chat to this forum is just fruitless. We all need to be in the same chat, compromising on what's the best way to present the coin. It's going to take time. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=tipsHere is the "unofficial" hierarchy... invisibl ICanProgram chisefu / mxtm You want to get something changed, it has to go through them.
