Anyone else finds it ironic that THE forum on BTC doesn't integrate tipping? - page 3.

If btc forum can't integrate user friendly BTC tipping, you really expect other forums adopting it?

No one should... it's a total waste of time, resources and requires addition unneeded trust.

Copy, paste and send like normal fucking humans!

*pulls hair out*

A lot of the Bitcoiners in the lime light sound like fucking Dogecoiners with this tipping shit.

Am i missing something here? I'd think bitcointalk would be on the forefront of tipping integration on forums

I am sure that this would create a lot of scams.....similar to those that are on reddit.

In case you were wondering how the scams work:
-user A makes a "good" post/point
-user B tips user A a lot of bitcoin for the good post (user A is user B's alt)
-user B tips many of his other alts, appearing to be very generous
-user C is compelled to tip user B (who is unrelated to user B)

This would also create massive amounts of spam with people asking to be tipped for their shitty posts and people begging others who have been generous in the past

This is general debate against micro tipping. Yes that will yield some evils (e.g. more spam, beggers etc...) but i still think that its upside outweighs its downfalls. Micro tipping is one of BTC current practical use cases. If some bad players will try to abuse it is no reason to abandonment.

I am not really looking for any kind of tip (so please do not interpret this as "begging"), however you are free to tip me on my BTC address that I have in my profile. (this statement was really made to prove a point)

Granted this would not be an "off chain" tip that most tipping services use, however it would still get the job done (and it would be somewhat more expensive to spend the bitcoin you send me but it is after all a tip so that doesn't matter)

Sure and i could also PM you and ask for your BTC address, internet existed before webbrowsers, and phones before iPhone, but ...

I think the point here is a prove of concept and expose is to wide adoption (meaning being user friendly) as much as to encourage quality posts. If btc forum can't integrate user friendly BTC tipping, you really expect other forums adopting it?

You do know you can put your address in your Bitcointalk profile or in your signature. (I notice you don't have yours on either)

I don't understand why retards need their hand held sending 16 cents to some other retard. Roll Eyes

RIP Mommy

With new avatars disabled for security, maybe everyone could be given the option to throw their donation address QR code up as their avatar (generated by the forum, not user-uploaded) and have the avatar hyperlink to bitcoin:1theiraddressetc to cover both mobile and desktop wallets.

A different forum could have a gribble-esque OTP-based login, where people sign the OTP with their private key (which would discourage people only keeping BTC on exchanges to be "hacked", since you can't sign messages with exchange-controlled private keys).

I don't want to be off-topic or controversial, but IMHO allowing paid signature campaigns already generates much more spam and shitty posts than the tipping incentive would. As DaRude says, tipping is a nice feature and practical use of Bitcoin, and abuse should be dealt with the usual way by moderators.

Generates spam maybe, but not another way to scam and not bigger incentive for begging, even from newbies and lower ranks.

As discussed on the 'New forum software' board:

I've thought about that before, but I think that there might be legal problems with that. It might make the forum a "money transmitter".

AFAIK Theymos didn't specifically comment about using ChangeTip itself though (to avoid the money transmitter issue)

It'd be nice to get a solid answer if there's any truth to the money transmitter theory. But yeah clearly a third party solution would not be effected
