[Suggestion] Tipping authors in steemsteemCreated with Sketch.

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

OK, so we have a social networking service that is tied to cryptocurrency, which we use to reward authors and which we can freely transfer to others - steem. I find it kinda obvious that there should be option to tip a post - by this I mean send some small amount of steem to the post author with 2 clicks.

We can already do this by going to the Wallet but this takes more time than it should. A simple button in the vote dropdown list should be enough.

Of course user could change the amount of steem that is sent.

I don't think this feature would break anything, as users can already do it with the transfer steem option. I think this could help to reward good authors or just people that create content that you want to see more. Also, maybe it can help with the problem that is stated here:

What do you think? Or maybe similar discussion was done before?

Hello! Please, look at this discussion. Your suggestion seems a little bit like mine).

Sounds like a good idea, especially the at-your-fingertips part. If tipping is complicated, far fewer folks will follow through.

I don't know if this has been discussed before: all I can say is, I haven't seen it yet.

That would be nice as it would really encourage users who are good.

I think it's a great idea. I did a 50/50 post recently so I'd have some tip money laying around!

Fantastic idea. Actually, after changetip has closed, bitcoin tipping is almost dead

mine.....?

Great idea!
