Firstbits at the end of content imo.

What about QR codes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEAlhVOZ8qQ

Might as well both.

I don't fancy phone so I don't usually think of it.

What happens if you are watching on your fancy phone and the qr comes up, do you need another fancy phone to take a picture of it?

You need a QR capable device, which could be your phone or a dedicated reader. Btw, upgrade your phone because you're losing allot of useful features, besides, look around and you will see almost all of your peers having one

The QR is usually accompanied by the text, so you could type it in if you happen to watch it on the same phone.

all the content creator has to do if he wants a bitcoin tip is to put a bitcoin address in his video information. sure, vimeo could take steps to make this easy and prominent for its users with direct bitcoin support, but its not really necessary as bitcoin makes this kind of thing so wonderfully possible and easy without any middlemen anyway

This. Who cares if Vimeo officially supports Bitcoin? Just slap your Bitcoin donation address in your video info section.

I could understand taking a maximum of 5% from tips, as a service charge for the tip jar. Even still, that's high, but all that asides, I would love to see such a major site implement Bitcoins.

This would be a good implemention for bitcoins

Well, good for the content creator, bad for Vimeo (who takes a 15% cut):

Viewers can then tip as much as they want using a credit card. Tips will be transferred to the video creator's PayPal account, minus a 15 percent service fee that Vimeo pockets.

Hello together,

I just stumbled over this: http://vimeo.com/blog/post:523

This would be a good implemention for bitcoins. Sadly I found no contact information on the side.

Does someone know this side / know how to get in contact with them and is able to write them a introduction into Bitcoin better than I would with my weak English?
