Topic: Success with donation addresses in signatures (Read 2847 times)
I think that they don't work, neither do most the TradeHill stuff, and so attack it with a 'why not' attitude.
I think that this whole idea would work better if tippers got credit for their tips. People like to patronize good writers, but they want to get credit for doing so.
This is what we are trying to acheve with youtipit (http://www.youtipit.org). We are looking to create a community around tipping and find ways to reward people who tip (score, badges,content, promotion etc) If you have ideas on this let me know....
I have not received any yet, but I have sent a few because people helped out with answers to my vid card questions, or to Jade for his awesome Widget. If you haven't seen it, check it here http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=14307
I'm hoping that I can help someone someday and they will return the favor. Even 0.01 BTC is enough to say "thanks for your help"

I give out small amounts of bitcoins all the time. Nothing under 0.05.

Just put your firstbits address as your profile text, rather than your signature. Then you don't waste valuable sig space with it.

I never do this shit, but this thread has inspired me to join the club. Heck if I have any BTC left when the dust settles, maybe I'll send some around too.
I haven't received anything yet, not that I expected to get much, but it's part of the reason for the lack of updates on my Bitcoin site. I have a lot of things I want to do with it just little time/motivation. I think people are being pretty stingy since the BTC value has increased quite a lot lately.
Not a cent. Haven't contributed much to the community either...just a little help getting folks nooblier than myself set up mining and the occasional witty banter.
Well, someone just sent me 0.02btc (♥).
Yes, I've received donations before. And if you had an address in your sig and you said something witty or just plain funny, you likely got 2 bitcents from me.
I've never gotten anything. Then again, I haven't been overly active either.
It seems like cheap begging, never understood the point of putting one in a signature. It's not like 99.9 people will recieve anything.
Because we're COOL BITCOIN USERS nobody will EVER UNDERSTAND THESE LETTERS AND NUMBERS
LET'S GEEK OUT BRO
...the fad wore off, though. I don't know why I still have one in my signature. I never received anything.
I got 5 bitcents at one point. I don't know why.
I mostly send random 0.05 donations.
looks like you found your mystery benefactor

Then again, I do waste a lot of BTC sending money to people's wallets here on the forums if they post something funny or valuable.
Sent almost 1.5btc this week, lol. I mostly send random 0.05 donations.

No donations yet. I have been directly challenged to bet with the global moderator though. For 5.0 Bitcoins, which I don't even have to my name : (
