Re: Anyone else finds it ironic that THE forum on BTC doesn't integrate tipping?

Am i missing something here? I'd think bitcointalk would be on the forefront of tipping integration on forums

I am sure that this would create a lot of scams.....similar to those that are on reddit.

In case you were wondering how the scams work:
-user A makes a "good" post/point
-user B tips user A a lot of bitcoin for the good post (user A is user B's alt)
-user B tips many of his other alts, appearing to be very generous
-user C is compelled to tip user B (who is unrelated to user B)

This would also create massive amounts of spam with people asking to be tipped for their shitty posts and people begging others who have been generous in the past

This is general debate against micro tipping. Yes that will yield some evils (e.g. more spam, beggers etc...) but i still think that its upside outweighs its downfalls. Micro tipping is one of BTC current practical use cases. If some bad players will try to abuse it is no reason to abandonment.

I am not really looking for any kind of tip (so please do not interpret this as "begging"), however you are free to tip me on my BTC address that I have in my profile. (this statement was really made to prove a point)

Granted this would not be an "off chain" tip that most tipping services use, however it would still get the job done (and it would be somewhat more expensive to spend the bitcoin you send me but it is after all a tip so that doesn't matter)
