Your topic reminded me of an idea I put forward to develop the forum in 2019, which was titled --->
Merit isn’t enough, tipping using LNWhen some members create high-quality posts, merits are not enough, they should be supported by some tipping.
LN has made the tipping possible with zero-cost costs.
Some applications have started to adopt this method on Twitter [
You Can Now Send Bitcoin Tips Over Lightning on Twitter] and I would love to see this support officially in this forum.
The response from @theymos was as follows:
The forum will never hold users’ money.
Right, I was just about to post that.
People are free to open LN channels and send tips if they so choose.
LN is probably unsuitable for tips since the recipient has to be online.
That's why these LN tipbots all hold your money, which I'm not a fan of. If you're using LN through a trusted third party, then you're better off not using it at all.The forum does not want to accept money from users, and it is not possible to manage tipping LN network service without the need for a third party.
The most you will get is the ability to add a QR to your account, which you can do by modifying your avatar.
