This is a breakdown of how tipping could work and why it would be more effective than the current method of sending wallet funds. Please share any additional suggestions, opinions or criticisms in the comments below!
It's important to be safe with our wallet keys, so it's a hassle to look for a key everytime when sending funds. Personally I don't allow mobile devices or the PC to remember my keys. Also filling out the correct usernames and memos take some time. Convenience is one of the main factors of mass adoption.
Many users use Posting key to post, so other keys (like Active and Master) might not be easily ready at hand. For example: I don't keep any keys on the phone, but I used it to blog a lot.
Some users don't check their wallets as regularly as their comments.
Easy tipping would allow those with small votes to reward their favourite content with more value.
Quck tipping could be used to pay for various creative services. (Like banners or even adoptables)
Users could tip on older posts that already had payouts.
Fast tipping can enable easy collection of funds for contest rewards. Or to pay out rewards.
Tipping would allow to support charity posts more easily and possibly remove less rewards from the reward pool.
Easy, visible tipping may sway some users to use tipping instead of bid bots to reward others.
The Following are 2 methods
Full integration with Steemit
Tip Funds in the Wallet
• Convert SBD or STEEM into fast use credits that don't need keys for transfer or spending. Tip jar- opposite of current savings option.
• Can't hold more than 50sbd of tips for the user's safety.
• ALloyd posts should have a tip button at the end, like "leave a tip" next to the reply button. Or a bigger tip button that can be enabled or disabled in the settings.
• Or instead of button users can use a comment command like !tip.
• Tips received would go into regular wallet funds for safety.
• Once someone tips a post, there should be automatic comment stating that the @username tipped X amount. This display of tips is important so those tipping to feel that they made a difference. This way they are more likely to do it again. Moreover, this will notify those receiving the tip and they can respond sooner, further validating the sender. From personal experience (sending out contest rewards), users take around 2 or 3 days to notice the reward.
3rd Party Tipping Website
(Somewhat like Steemhunt)
• Users would send funds to a user or external website. It's best to have a limit for safety.
• Once user wants to use the funds they can comment on a post with !tip or !tip Amount.
• When credits are used, the 3rd party sends the tipped value directly to the person being tipped. Also an automated reply is recommended to validate the senders tip.
• If external website: it must have Steemconnect integration or similar for safety.
• If a fee is necessary to create or maintain the product:
Either collect an investment through posts.
Or have a small fee when buying the credits, but not when tipping. Have discounts for buying more credits at once.
Key points:
• Easy access to small funds without requiring additional clicks or keys
• 2 click tipping- the tip button and amount tipped.
• Visible display of tips
I'm tagging utopia-io because I don't have the skills to make tipping happen, but maybe someone seeing this post does!
Thank you for reading!

This is a great idea, the smaller amounts of allowed funds reduces the stakes of the lowered security.
I think one of the greatest applications is for rewards older posts. I have wanted to create a project that centered around folks that had posted previously, but had not been active recently, kind of an attempt to encourage resumption if gone for a hiatus, but the use of the keys had been a bit of an excuse to let myself off the hook.
A tipping system would be simple and would not rely on me as a middleman to transfer rewards to the people, others could contribute the exact value they perceived the contribution/attempt a bribe to get people back to the steemit community ;*
I just received this info ^^

I agree that rewarding older posts is one of the stronger points, however for that I and many other Steemians think that the payout should be more than 7 day. At very least 14!
Also adding it's important to add as many possible uses for tips as possible, because I highly doubt one use would motivate anyone to work on this.
I'verecently cleaned up my followers list and unfollowed 300! Steemians for many reasons but most common one was that they were inactive for a very long time. I kept thinking maybe they'll come back, but that seems less and less likely :)
!tip 0.5 ;)
Thank you! I feel silly for suggesting something that exists. Also the subscription option sounds great.
But I probably wouldn't have discovered @tipu if not for this post :D
Aye :) just one more feature: !tipuvote 0.1
Thanks!! So that's the new feature right? :D
Giving out the S Monsters packs is very neat, I haven't tried the battling option yet (I totally forgot) .
So many features, I'm catching up slowly. Also it's a relief to realize that there isn't bidding ^^ I'm currently reading the delegation profitability post, but I haven't figured how much would a 10-50SP delegation would be worth. I understand the value changes from day to day.
Based on this post the one who delegated 50SP received 0.29SBD and 0.22STEEM, that seems like a way too big number. I suppose I'm missing the deposits, as they also take a cut?
Naah, upvoting from @tipU is active since few months, I just haven't created the new guide yet :)
As for 50 SP delegation, you can check like like this: @tipu profit for 50 sp
And yes, deposits also increase your share in profits :)
Yesterday 50.0 STEEM POWER delegated or invested gave payout of:
0.005 SBD + 0.014 STEEM (0.01 USD), APR: 16.92% .
Delegation link: steemconnect 50.0 SP delegation to @tipu.
Please note that your profit can be slightly different (depending on the payout time).Check out https://www.steemprofit.info to compare @tipU with other services.
Hello :D Is there a way to disable daily small payouts and for it to go into the deposit instead?
Yes - the reinvest option that will further increase your share in profits and in the same time you can use it for subscribe and tip.
Check out reinvest option at the investors guide :)

I love this idea. You could have a little loveheart option.
Option2: that's exactly what @tipu does
I just did, but it appears that theyre selling votes, or is there direct tipping as well? By vote selling you're removing rewards from prizepool and the middleman gets most benefits.
yeah, at some point they also started selling votes, but primarily it was made to be a tipbot
P.S.: see here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@tipu/tipu-tips-guide
I just resteemed their post for direct tips ^^ thank you for sharing! :D
This looks great! Ill give it a try a little later on pc :D
