Ok site can now be accessed by the rest of the world, please check it out and let me know if you have any feedback or questions.
I'm happy to announce that BTCTip is operational again.
A few changes have been made to the site since it was last running: 'centcoin(s)' has been added as an alias for cBTC and 'millicoin(s)' has been added as an alias for mBTC. In fact, these two new aliases are featured on btctip.com as the primary way to refer to their respective denominations.
Also, I'm happy to introduce a new BTCTip Tweet Box, that website owners can embed in their websites to receive BTC microdonations. The tweet box can be customized for your website on http://btctip.com.
Some advantages to embedding a BTCTip Tweet Box are:
I've set it up on http://kianoo.com, one of my websites, as a test example.
Please let me know if you have any problems with it.
Important: if you have a BTCTip account, you will need to log in at least once with your Twitter account to re-connect it with your BTCTip account before you can send tips using the BTC in your BTCTip account. This is a result of an upgrade to a new Drupal Twitter module.
Edit I just found out the site is not accessible for non-local connections. Sorry about that, I'm trying to fix it now.

Some advantages to embedding a BTCTip Tweet Box are:
- When people donate, it also advertises your site on Twitter via a status update.
- Your donors can receive public credit for their donations, as it's done in a publicly verifiable way.
- It promotes BTC as an internet microdonation currency

Thank you for the notice. The site is up from my end. Can you confirm if it's still inaccessible for you?
It is working now... will have a look around soon!.

I am pleased to announce the site is working again. The problem was with a corrupted file, so it was difficult to pin down. I simply needed to save the file to reformat the data to get it working.
The site is down from where I am...
when attempting to visit http://btctip.com/ it hangs for a while and then redirects me to an address like https://secure.btctip.com:9000/ but it still does not work, and eventually goes to the standard 'page cannot be displayed' screen on chrome.
Shame because I was looking forward to a look around. Ill check back later

Hi weex,
My Dynamic DNS client failed, and I only found out a couple of days ago. The site is now up, and you can log in, but the #btctip tweets are not being registered at the moment due to an unidentified bug.
I will be investigating this and update every one as soon as the problem has been resolved.

Thanks for coming back and saving the service!
Hi weex,
My Dynamic DNS client failed, and I only found out a couple of days ago because I was able to still access it on my LAN, so didn't realize it was inaccessible from external IPs. The site is now up, and you can log in, but the #btctip tweets are not being registered at the moment due to an unidentified bug.

I had slightly more BTC there and corresponded with amincd a number of times. amincd, what happened? Do you have an ETA on the site being back up?
Looks like the site is down.
Have been down for days now. They even has competitors now http://bitcointipper.com/ (Don't like it, charge for each transfer you make in Twitter).
Looks like the site is down.
Does anybody know what happened to this service? Have they absconded with our coins that were on btctip accounts? I only had about 0.1 BTC there, but that's $5 these days!

I'm pleased to announce a fix to a minor bug: you can now re-tweet other people's #btctip tweets without it triggering a transaction from your BTCTip account.
I'd like to thank Stephen Gornick for pushing me to look at the Twitter API and fix this.

Yea, the tip is returned after 5 days (it was originally 30 days), and one day before the expiry (so 4 days after the tip is sent), if the recipient has still not claimed the tip, the @btctip account posts a tweets telling the recipient the tip will be returned if they don't claim it, so this does reveal some of the recipient's activity information to the public.
I'm concerned about the privacy implications of notifying when a tip is claimed. It would mean a tipper knows when the person they tipped logged into the site for the first time. This has been the second request for this feature though, so I'll take that into account.
The tip is eventually returned if it is not claimed, so that's one way of knowing. I don't know how much time lapses before this occurs though ... pretty short (i.e., couple of days) if I remember correctly.

Is there any way to know when a tip has been claimed? Displaying that information on the "Recent activity" table would be awesome.
