We are looking into integrating tipping functionality, much like a ChangeTip bot, into the
Diginomics Forum.
Because the database of a SMF is totally different from social media -- say Google+, Reddit, or Facebook, how would one go about doing this?
We had the idea to create a bot account, say 'TipBot' and have a function where everytime it is mentioned by a user in a post, and a money value is defined, it will tip this to another user.
However, this would require a whole infrastructure for tipping accounts, something we don't have but ChangeTip does.
How could one go about integrating ChangeTip into a forum community? Would ChangeTip need to create an API or is there some other way you could do it?
We are looking at collaborating with a few developers here to accomplish this project.
