lol so cool some of the people are huh HAHAHA
This is actually a very very cool idea. Is this
Who are the people behind this bot? What is their measure in case reddit cancels this? Whom can I slap if the hot wallet password "accidentally" gets too accessible?
Edit: This should just as well work on twitter!?! and if done by the same people, transactions between twitter and reddit could be free.
Edit: So for $5 I may get my money back in case the service is terminated?
With my money in my own priv key the service makes a more reliable impression to the whereabouts of my money (no fractional reserve) but it's ultimately less secure (100% hot wallet) and costs fees to send between reddit users.
Conclusion: I am not at all convinced.
- a reddit product?
- a user bot with the blessing of reddit?
- an independent bot like anybody could write a bot?

UPDATE on the bot:
I'm in the process of rewriting the bot in python to take advantage of the Python Reddit API Wrapper (praw) and make retrieving user comments and messages faster. Parts of the code need updated now that a bitcoind server is being used instead of the blockchain.info API. I'm new to Github and I'm not well versed in python, so please bear with me. Every line there should be treated as pseudocode for now since it's a mess between PHP -> Python. If you would like to help out, here it is on Github: https://github.com/NerdfighterSean/bitcointip
Some people suggested a subreddit specifically for the bot, so I've made that if you want to post stuff there: http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcointip
