This is a great service but I will only use it if and when you can use it to tip on Twitch. I think Twitch is a very good target for this service. We need to snipe people and get them on Dlive and such...
This Steem service impresses me more than any other so far. Its the opposite of greed based development like bid bots. Amazing job.
Whether your aim is to appreciate or to convert, the tipping is the same :) Twitch is on the docket, absolutely. I truly believe that little shots of kindness and interaction are key to building a long-term network here. The important thing for us is to go platform by platform, so each integration remains secure and works well. Better to do it right in methodical bits than to have it all explode at once!
Excellent! Slow and steady wins the race. I suppose I'll also use it when Facebook is active. I've thought about trying to spread the blockchain word and this is exactly what I need for people to take me seriously.
Facebook is going to be interesting. We're seeing notification shadow bans on Twitter, and I imagine Facebook won't be too happy, even though it will all be done with comment replies. We live in an interesting time, that's for sure. But how else does change happen?
lol hilarious... of course. Seriously they have no legs to stand on banning a simple comment that says: here's a tip. Where do they get off? It's only a matter of time before they seriously enrage their own user base. "Really? You banned me from getting free money? F-U."
Perhaps you can incorporate multiple commands to send tips to keep them on their toes.
I just realized you need to think about decentralizing SteemTipper. Right now you are running it through a centralized service called @steemtipper. If you allow people to run it through their own accounts the service will be much harder to ban. Perhaps the logistics of such an endeavor are not practical right now but you should keep that idea in the back of your head.
definitely. To be fair, everything is going through and tips are fine and show in feed, they just don't always show the notifications to users because we are a new account and send an "automated style" reply. We're in contact with Twitter about it and have some ideas.
