No offense, the idea / project is good, but I feel like the vast majority on bitcoinitalk is not generous.
Maybe it just doesn't fit in here. We already have merits, how far can this go? I mean, if we didn't have merits, it'd make (again, little) sense to have a tipping page for established members.
It also seems like most established users don't have Lightning node, which is very disappointing. From this very page, 8 (established) users have submitted the form, and only 1 does have a Lightning node running. Seems like we're still early. Lightning users with a node can't just pause there.
I think it'll be the opposite. Those that have expressed interest in it will use it at the very beginning, but since there isn't going to be a lot of users using it in the first place, those users will likely drop off in the long term.
And as I said, I'm sure some users will want from the rest to know they tipped, just as merits. And this appears to be technically infeasible for me.
Thank you for submitting the form. If I hadn't thought of this, I'd spare more hours on designing it. I'll abandon it for now, unless there's more demand. The topic remains normally open.
