Topic: Your Opinion on Tipping (Read 1702 times)
I have no problem with it. I'd donate if I weren't bit-poor.
It's not accepting tips, it's begging. And it's probably never done anything for 90% of the people with an address in their sig. Well except clutter up the forum. Pretty daft all around.
It's totally ridiculous and makes this forum look like a begging yard.
It is perfectly ok if someone runs a donation based service, ie a blog or analysis or whatever (on their own site), but asking here is just low.

I can't for the life of me understand how people imagine they look when they do this. It's like having a conversation with friends, then begging small change off them afterwards. Pathetic.
Who cares what [your username] looks like to a bunch of [other usernames]?

It's OK, I rarely tip though.
I would definitely tip for BitCoin Wallet android app as it would really have the potential to bring BitCoin to a wider attention.
I added a tipping address to my sig out of curiosity. Wondered why here everybody does it and didn't want to stand out too much

i am tip, but honestly, - i am tipping just on some efforts that`s seem big to me.
I am tipped to GUI miner (Kiv) - because i am believe that comfortable mining GUI environment is important for starter miners and windows mining.
I am tipped to momchill, - well that miner will become a legend.
I am tipped for some bitcoins media (not bitcoin Sun , - personally, i am did not like it).
I am will tip or join bounty for open source BTC trade platform`s.
I am interested in flexible proxy project, and waiting when it will become usable ( in other words - well documented) for not so tech savy`s.
i am interested both, in push poll and web end, - for push poll project.
I am interested in normal and clear GUI client for NameCoins.
I am interested in further development of NMC\BTC exchange.
I am also worried, and possible, will tip or donate, on bitcoin forum overload solution.

It might encourage people if they see "others" have also already tipped...
What I wanted to say was, that I do not tip others. Damn english language, time to switch to latin or esperanto worldwide!
I also don't really like "begging" in signatures, however I got a request by someone that he/she specifically wanted to donate me some bitcents - so I put a new address in my sig (but as you can easily check - no tips yet). I don't expect anything to go in there though and I also do not tip myself. If it makes people happy though, I'm the last person to say "no" to free money!
I like it much more anyways if people sign up with my Tradehill referral (even though the situation seems a bit weird there - asks of 22 and bids of 20 and a tiny trade every hour... even though fees are lower than on MtGox?!) and I hope that in the future I get a few "tips" this way - while even also helping people that sign up using this, as they also pay less fees.

My opinion is already in my signature
I don't know about all versions of the client, but if you're being forced to pay a transaction fee, you may want to upgrade (or downgrade) to one which lets you send for free.
I'm using 0.3.20, which I can send free transactions through.
If you can send free transactions, I'm sure many people will gratefully accept tips of 1 or 2 bitcents; They don't have to be big tips.

I know what my opinion is -- but I was curious how other people felt about tipping.
For myself, I'd do it if there wasn't a transaction fee. I don't have enough bitcoins to give large tips, sadly.
