There's no user0 signature/profile functionality on Reddit but there is here. The tip bot is pretty redundant - if people want tips they can just put addresses in their profile/signature (and very many do). You can also entirely avoid the overhead of the tip bot service and use the network directly. What problems does a btctalk tip bot solve? It only seems to create problems.
I agree. It's not really necessary here because of the signature functionality of the bitcointalk forums.
