I see something like this using Doge ran into problems. I'd hope Steemit security will help to avoid something similar. I guess people could create their own personal bot to tip on their behalf.
For memos, could we have something like "@tippy tip fredbloggs 0.01 STEEM and say Thanks for the cool demo".
@tippy - Tip: ERROR - Steemit Tip Bot
( @tippy is currently being developed, please don't deposit at this time! )You didn't have a @tippy account or balance so one was created!
@steevc Looks like it's working quite well hahaha, it registered you!
