Sounds very good Brian.
What do you think about naming a small portion of HBD "hats" like "sats" for Bitcoin. Then naming the HBD tipping facility "Tipping hats". i think this could be branded and marketed very well.
Animated short of a character (Paddington perhaps, or a Lion) listening to/watching a streaming (or not) show and tipping his hat after laughing at something on the show, and clicking Hive Tipping Hat button on the screen. Something like that.
We could have a contest for video shorts depicting this.
Maybe even a Tipping hats Meme Coun to jump on the bandwagon :-)
Firstly I don't like the word Tip, the ethos of value for value is that you're asking people for a return of value equal to how they value your work: it's the difference between paying for a meal and paying a little extra for the service.
We've all grown fat on advertising supported media thinking everything was paid for, that era leads to censorship and bland food.
