Sending Tips
Tips are small amounts of SBD or STEEM that are send to other steem users. Sending a tip is a great way to reward a steem author, especially if your upvote is very small.
Tips also have other advantages:
--they are delivered instantly, no need to wait 7 days for payout
--they are send in liquid SBD/STEEM which means that no part is locked in STEEM POWER
they don't drain your voting power
Let's say you found a really helpful post and want to reward the author with a tip. To do this, simple replay to the post and put anywhere in the comment a !tip word. This will tell @tipU to send the tip to the post author.
The tip - in this example 0.1 SBD - will be sent almost instantly. @tipU automatically adds a comment about the tip.
