Hello,

The propster bar on top is a kind of preview, like with StumbleUpon. The idea is that when the tip jar begins to collect money, the recipient is going to integrate it to his website one way or another.

 Is propster.me a trick page, so someone can get bitcoin donations for other people's content ?

There is no trick, however you made me aware that there was a point of confusion:  when user navigates inside the iframe to another website (for example http://www.google.com), the toolbar seems to say that if you click on the Tip button you will give a tip to Google.  Although the tip jar popup still says that money is going to "Programming M**ers", someone could miss that. But I just FIXED it. Now, when the Tip button is clicked, the iframe automatically returns to the original state, to the "Programming M**ers website.

Btw, a programming tip: if anyone is wondering how it is possible to know that cross-domain iframe url has changed, here is the trick: compare the values of history.length at different times ! Smiley  To see this in action, look at the source of the page in the original posting.

zed shaw is the man

+1 i started learning how to program in python after one of his books and i can tell Zed is quite a smart person, glad he found bitcoin now, yay

EDIT: Is propster.me a trick page, so someone can get bitcoin donations for other people's content ?

No, it's not. It collects Bitcoin donations for projects/persons and distributes them to the projects/persons that were tipped. Kinda like flattr but the projects don't need an account.
The OP can probably explain it better than me as he's the guy who founded it, if I'm not mistaken Tongue
Or you can read the FAQ https://propster.me/content/faq.html
han, I guess you're right

It's quite shameful though to beg for tips when you're not the author of the work.

The tips are to the author of the work, AFAIK

As a programmer I also love it.

However I have found myself some well-placed tests in especially new code lowers debugging time.
