Sure, yes looking forward to the docs. I am very familiar with these platforms, just not the linking you will need to make this happen. I had to deal with a less-complicated version of this same problem for my dapp (upcoming version, not the live one). So my questions are more prying.
Just been thinking how this could work...
You could store the 3p handle and the amount of hive in an account until the user claims it, then you would also have to alert the 3p content author by using the logged-in tipper's granted permission to post on the 3p content on their behalf a link to where the person can sign up for Hive. You would then have to query the blockchain (or DB) periodically to see if any of 3p handles have shown up as associated with a hive account, then send them the hive. This would also require the recipient to have your extension, so you can associate their Hive account with the 3p account.
Is this what you plan to do?
Something like the paragraph above was what I was looking for in the proposal / explanation videos and didn't find.
Happy my interaction has helped you communicate you ideas more clearly. Many times I think I am being very clear about mine, when I'm not. I wrote an 80+ page paper about my last project assuming people would actually read it and understand it ha ha ha ha ha, to be young and naive!

Hello Douglas,
When it comes to tip recipients who do not currently own a hive account, they get right away notified in twitter and information on how to get a new hive account is included.
EDIT: Currently there is no such a reference on how to get a HIVE account because of the Twitter max 300 char limitation.
In the meantime, funds stay in the central pool "hivetips.pool" until attestation process is fulfilled.
We will write Q&A on this topic anyways, thanks for pointing this out.
Cheers
Daniel
Thanks for answering my question Daniel.
So is it the same for youtube?
Yes, same process :)
can they just withdraw to bittrex without getting a hive account?
I must admit your question is mindblowing.
YES it is possible. But we never actually thought about it as a possibility. Thanks a lot for such a great idea!
