I wouldn't want to encourage node owners to disclose their IP and their BTC address.

I got what you're saying. Most node operators operating in 'the clear' will necessarily have their ip's being public. As for the btc address, some would be happy with providing a static address for payments, while others might not be happy about that. It is quite possible to generate a new address for every page view request to a web page however.

I'm not sure which method you would come up with that would facilitate what you're looking for, but it sure is an interesting topic to discuss.

^ That's a helpful start, thanks.

If there are no initiatives to tip node owners, perhaps I need to spend some time thinking about how to start one.

It would also be nice to tip those who don't frequent these threads.

Afaik, there's no initiatives to contribute and the tip being distributed to node operators. If it was, it would be nice however.

Not entirely sure what you mean by 'impossible to send a tip without asking nodes to reveal who they are'. Many node operators have posted links to status pages on this forum, and also on reddit. I do not know of a centralized repository of such nodes. I think Shorena maintans a seednode list.

For example, if you wanted to tip him, you'd find his address here:
http://213.165.91.169/

I also found this list:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes

If you want to tip a node owner, I'm sure you could find a few that happily would accept your btc.

Is there a way for me to tip a bitcoin node, to say thank you for running a full node?

I have had a look at https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ and their github, but from what I can tell its impossible to send a tip without asking nodes to reveal who they are, which defeats the nature of BTC as a p2p currency.
