I was watching the bot evaluate comments and when that came up I panicked for a second.

How are you communicating with Blockchain.info? And since you are is scalability going to be an issue?

I'm using the Bitcoind compatible JSON rpc. Yes scalability will be an issue. I'm unable to archive or label addresses at the moment, so the bot is down until I figure out why the wallet isn't saving. Also, reddit only allows requests every 2 seconds. With 1000 users, that's over 30 minutes to go through everyone's comments. I'm looking into ways to make that more efficient.

Like the idea though, was browsing around reddit and started seeing it places, was just like "bout time someone did this".

Democracy is the original 51% attack

Wow apparently a security flaw has now been found in Bitcoin after all... transactions can't be reversed or "pulled" unless you do it through a Reddit comment Wink

Zero day!

The reply confirmation shouldn't be posted as a public comment, or else face reddit's collective wrath (and maybe the mods) as people get annoyed with all the extra comments. Best would be to let users put a link to a confirmation screen elsewhere and/or PM both parties. Then people would see that a tip was allegedly given, and they could click the link if there was any doubt.

If this catches on and is allowed to exist it could draw a lot of new users into bitcoin. Lets hope!

Finally some people get around to doing things with Bitcoin that it is actually suited for.

So what happens then is that people realize that complaining about PayPal is rewarded financially which then results in more complaining about PayPal. In the /r/PayPal[1] reddit!
BRILLIANT!

EPIC!

Q1: Why cant I send BTC to just ANY address (outside of reddit), if you are using blockchain.info, that should be possible right?

Q1: You can. That's how you get bitcoins out of the system, make a tip to one of your bitcoin addresses. Here I tipped an address from a youtube video description: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/11qwvo/charlie_shrem_bitinstantcom_youtube/c6owofu

Q2: Can you speed up the bot?

Q2: Yes, I'm working on minimizing wait times.

Q3: Is it possible to inflate ones karma with bots or hacks or whatnot? --> Danger to your redeeming function

Q3: The faucet address only keeps a small amount in it, but creating a maximum allowed is a good idea.

Q4: Is your script open source?

Q4: Not right now. May consider making it open source in the future.

So, uh, this is going to break BTC wide open to everyone who visits reddit! We're talking a serious explosion.

That said, I'm betting Reddit outlaws this within a week.

@ SuperP

This is uber cool. Thumbs up.
Seriously.

I think that when this makes inroads on non-"bitcoin" subreddits it will could expose 100k+ new potential users to bitcoin.
Best thing in weeks...

Why did Reddit get a Bitcoin-tipping bot before this forum got one?

reddit is a python based cool open source project hosted on github: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki

SMF (simplemachineforums) is rather lame ex closed source php project, run by a formal organization with a board of directors and proper bylaws and whatnot.
