Thank you! Sorry for the noob question but what's an Ecency Point Tip?

Ecency is the frontend I use to do all my Hive operations, rather like peakd and HiveBlog
There is a phone app available at Google Playstore and a web application at ecency.com
POINTS are the reward system they use and you earn them each time you post, vote, comment, etc.
You can then cash them in to receive a vote on your post from Ecency or to sponsor a post so that it gets pegged into the Ecency feed rotation. And you can use POINTS to reward users,. Winners of our Shadow Hunters contests often receive 100 POINTS, plus some Hive for winning each week. POINTS can also be used for tipping. Go to Ecency.com and look around. You will see your POINTS wallet there.

Thank you so much @melinda010100 for taking the time to explain that so well! I've been searching the internet for something that explains it well in this context but couldn't particularly find something relevant. I'll look more into it, thanks! and thanks for the points!

https://ecency.com/faq#how-to-join might have some helpful information for you.please ask anytime you have questions.

Read through all of it, logged into ecency ( and commenting from here!) Thanks for the help, @melinda010100! Things are slowly beginning to make more sense.

Even after 4 years I learn something new each day and realize how much more there is to learn. I still ask questions of my mentors. Don't ever be afraid to ask.
