Topic: Does anybody ACTUALLY tip? If so, why/when? How much? (Read 975 times)
Exactly. Begging should be resulting in a ban or something.
If BCTers post an inputs.io id in their signature, it makes tipping a lot easier because we can send each other mBTC tips without the transaction fees (eureka!).
I never did but I saw some people doing it (with proofs).
Check out reddit, they have a very robust tipping eco-system, also /r/bitcoin/

I tip useful people. I do not tip people who post "PLZ DONATE IF DIS HELPPED U: 1kJijfijejwi13359153"
Yeah, I don't have my address listed as I'm not looking for tips and I also get tired of seeing people beg for fractions of coins.
I've tipped for genuine help, like I won't forget the person who started the thread on how to get BFL refunds and when the refund came through, I figured it was definitely worth a tip. (Page 12 here, worth reading the whole thread if you're looking for a refund, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295187.220 )
I think it's a good thing that people tip. I tip fiat in restaurants, some taxi drivers and some insistent hotel doormen or bellboys although I generally go by the expression, "I tip for good service, not for bad."
Nice to see people tipping on bitcointalk I reckon.

I only tip if people have posted something which really helped me. For example I'm having trouble with something and they come up with a solution.
I've tipped .0420 before. 
Do it for karma.
Glad to see you are still with us! How are things?Do it for karma.
I have heard in Bitcointalk folklore that in the earliest days, tips of BTC50 or BTC100 were not unusual.
I believe this. Bitcoin was very experimental and one block was not worth more than today tips (around 0.01 probably)
I tipped a couple of times and received some too
I have given you some.
I got tips many times and grabbed many bounties too here.
Last time i got tipped here.

There might not be as much of it going around as there used to be. It's more common on Reddit now via the tipbots.
I occasionally tip typically between 50k satoshi and 2,5 mBTC for quality/appreciation.
When I made my maiden post on Bitcointalk, the very kind and generous minimalB tipped me 500 mBTC for my trouble! That I haven't forgotten.

I always get a kick out of it when I see somebody with an address in their sig looking for tips. Does anyone actually tip? HAS anyone actually tipped? I did once (maybe twice) to John K. for his escrow service, like .02 (what a guy I am).
