Is @blocktrades working on lightening payments for small amounts of steem and sbd?
If blocktrades had that we could also work on a blocktrades reddit tip bot and this would be a really effective and fun way to actually promote steem on reddit and allow reddit users to understand how much better ateemnis with it's free transactions (as long as you have a tiny amount of steem staked as steempower) and a tip bot for steem on reddit would also allow reddit users TO REDEEM THEIR STEEM FOR FREE INSTANT STEEM ACCOUNTS via @blocktrades which might cost a couple steem right now.
I know @aggroed and @yabapmatt are busy but I know people like @thedegensloth @matt-a @jesta @acidyo might know something about how hard or easy it might be to setup a tipping bot for reddit like reddit already has with bitcoin, satoshi and dogecoin, (the doge tip bot was famous and then because of centralized ownership it failed due to owner gambling away the hotwallet balance of almost a million dollars thinking he could make a quick trade and provide a bonus with everyone's money...and then lost it lol
So yeah anyway now adays reddit users have a hyped up lightening network wallet. And I think of course many of you will just ask why not just use steem where you dont need a tip bot but also have one with @tipu and I used to also think like this... now I realize reddit is too important to just ignore especially the millions of users on crypto related subreddits who already come with some investment money already in crypto form (already half the battle) and reddit users also come to steemit familiar with the way steemit looks and feels since its just like reddit bit instead of karma its steempower.
So a steem tip bot can come in many shapes and sizes, with some allowing manual withdrawal to poloniex, binance or bittrex while another model might require a user to input a personal steem account, forcing the user to make a steem account, and I think we should push for this first and later if it's a success allow them to withdrawl after they have accumulated like 10 steem or so...
Also we could allow reddit users who have accumulated a few steem to redeem that steemin the form of a fresh new instant steem account via https://steeminvite.com by @pharesim so you could allow the steem people save up as a tip to automatically be used for account creation, and maybe incorporate @blocktrades into that since they sell accounts too but steeminvite only charges you the bare minimum for blockchain subsidized account creation.
Receiving enough steem to actually do more than just recieve money opens up steem tipbot on reddit to more possibilities like using the steem.you recieve in a tip over reddit to perform a function like paying for an upvote that can be made via the tip bot's steem account, which can pay a bid bot with that steem. Or you can pay to make and upvote a comment, you can create account to send in an email as a gift to someone with steempower preloaded as a sort of savings account (13 week power down discourages spending and encourages saving)
So please consider asking your local developer if they know how hard it would be to create a simple steem tip bot that maybe blocked withdraws to exchanges and had a button to allow the steem they collect to be used to pay for a steem account creation fee..... and if possible, allow users to pay a small fee to convert 1 steem or LESS into Bitcoin Lightening network satoshi payments so they can go back and forth and turn their satoshi into steem and actually withdraw small amounts of steem to their steemit account, almost like settling lightening payments over steem. I think people would love using steem since it's already cheap and easy to use unlike eos which still has a bigger capacity and is thus more expensive, untill rex comes out....
But with steem, untill Smts come out, we have a lot of unused blockchain capacity . So I think a steem tip bot can grab those 1 million reddit r/bitcoin users
