Probably missed an explanation, still getting familiar with the layout.

But, is tipping tracked by the BTC/LTB addresses listed in our profile, or is there another method being used?

If we have tipped from numerous BTC addresses in the past, is there any incentive to disclose those addresses now? Or is tipping rewarded from this point forward?

  We're going to be tracking addresses, but I'm not sure if its turned on or what the timeframe is @cryptonaut?

  We are not backpaying peoples tips from before, so I believe it is just from here on out we are tracking. Everything we need is already in the blockchain, and we know the tipping addresses for each post, so its just a matter of looking at the transactions for each of those. This is something im working on as soon as possible

  @adam there are two ways we could do this I think. 1) We can reward only tipping transactions that come from an LTBcoin compatible address on file (i.e matches up to one of our user accounts), or 2) we can reward every address that makes a tip, regardless if we know they are setup with counterparty or not.

  what do you think?

  I'm inclined to say we should only send LTBCOIN to accounts registered to LTB users just because that will prevent gaming in a way we otherwise aren't able.

  that sounds good to me!

  So for everyone else, probably good practice to start tipping from your counterwallet address :p

  hey @cryptonaut, what do you think about letting people claim other addresses from which they send tips?

  So long as we only count tips coming in from those addresses after the address has been "claimed", or validated by sending a small amount to a "prove you own it" address we show only to them when they claim it, this could work.

  I know a lot of people use LTB on their phones for example, and I dont think counterwallet works very well on there.

  Yeah, we could do something like that. Either they can sign a message with their address to prove they are the owner, or we can just provide a one time payment address with a small fee. Can be like a "my addresses" area, where anything you can prove you control you can add so we know what we can associate you with.

  What about paying it forward. I want to set aside a budget for LTB Tips and I want it to come out whenever I "like" an article or podcast. Is it possible to just have a slush fund for playing around with tipping?

  About bit over a month ago we had a group meeting where we decided it was better to start with everything on-blockchain (via counterwallet) and to at an early opportunity create or integrate with an on-site hot wallet that would let you send tips in either ltbc or btc without needing to pay tx fees or wait for confirmations.

  So yes, that is in the plan but it is fairly far back unless we bring on more development help which is a distinct possibility.
