Any chance for integrating BTC tipping feature in future?

I think it would be nice to be able to tip bitcoin here. It could possibly be through changetip, but some other means might even be cooler. Like we deposit a small amount of bitcoin to the site and then we can one-click tip to people. This would be one more cool feature to help us stand apart from the other censored forums by Theymos. You guys probably already thought of it, but just throwing it out there. Possibly even a cut could be taken from the tipping service and given to the site in order to help fund development/hosting costs, etc... Its also a great way to onboard new users by giving them some tips.

That would be great. The fact that bct still doesn't allow that is pretty pathetic IMO.

We've been considering this.
The biggest problemr is that it could mean we were violating some sort of money transmitter laws if we control the the bitcoins that users are using for this. I would hate for some politician's thugs to arrest me for providing a valuable service that people want to use, just because I didn't ask for their permission first.

For now, there is a field for you to add your bitcoin address right to your profile.

Yeah you are right, since everything is illegal it makes everything difficult. I wonder if it could be outsourced somehow to a company like changetip. Work with the developers on both sides to produce a much better tipping experience with buttons and the like. But have the back end be powered by changetip and they would hold the coins and they have the money transmitter licenses. But for the user they may not really see that its changetip at all. They would have a much better tipping experience than using changetip on reddit or other places. Just some food for thought, who knows if both parties could agree to something or not.

Roger, if you could add a qr code for the btc address, I could tip someone easily with the bitcoin app on my mobile!
