No, the sig is the same every time.  The guy that gave me the half coin said so in the thread.  The only other traffic on that address was a tenth of a coin for linking the Bitcoin Sun.

Oh, and it looks like someone is now sending 0.03429043 coins, and I have no idea why.

I got 0.5 BTC once for insulting a guy.  Oddly enough none of my posts that were actually helpful have caused donations yet.

Took me a minute to understand this... if you use different address for each post, then you can easily track which comment the donor was responding to.  Very clever!

I think there is a way for advertisers to exploit that feature for some serious market intel...  of course they would first have to learn what bitcoin is Wink

I don't see any issue with this. It's better than the "1 bajillion Mhash/s on deepbit" sigs.

It might be interesting to see if anyone pitches-pennies on non-bitcoin related forums.

Hi,

I really don't get how everyone is putting a "liked my post? donate!" in their signature. I mean, come on, wtf? Now you expect me to pay you because you voluntarily decided to express an opinion and it wasn't total crap?

What's with the greed, dude...

Seriously, how much do people expect to make this way? A dollar a week? 1.20$?

I propose an unconditional, unlimited ban for everbody having a bitcoin address in their signature!

I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, it's not like someone's forcing you to contribute or read their sig and occasionally you do come across a post that has good info which merits a donation...even if it's only .001 BTC

Anyways I really wouldn't take it all that seriously, unless someone can prove to me that they've been donated to plenty of times via a sig message.
I have received 13.112 BTC in the past week to the address in my sig, not counting some transfers that weren't really donations because the person agreed to pay me a specific amount for a specific thing. You can see it in blockexplorer. These are mostly from people who want to fund my work on patching bitcoind for better operation with massive mining pools.


Well deserved!  Excellent work you have done on bitcoind so far! Smiley

Personally it's not like I honestly expect anyone to donate anything to me, it's mostly novelty having my address there just in case anyone is feeling the need, I'm so overwhelmed by all of this bitcoin business right now that I can't make heads or tails of anything.

Maybe some people do heavy work on their post - especially cited ones


It looks pretty funny seeing donation sigs under posts containing nothing more than 'lol' though

Some people have legit advice they give to people, some people have services and some people just would like a little starter. Personally I don't find it malicious at all, it's when it gets to the begging for it point that I would draw the line.
