A "tip" (also called gratitude) is literally is a sum of money given by a client or customer to certain service sector workers for the service they have performed, in addition to the basic price of the service.source On the Hive blockchain, a service worker could be a content creator, developer or service provider. Therefore, it would not be out of place if a content consumer or a DApp user decides top give an extra sum in gratitude to a content creator or DApp developer in addition to a the post voted earnings/dev fee respectively.
@Peakd had made some lovely addition of the tipping tool on its front end. The operation of the Hive tip is detailed in this post. Some pegged Hive-engine tokens have been supported with the tipping tool. They include: SWAP.BTC, SWAP.LTC and SWAP.DOGE.
A tipped token does not have to go through the 7-day pay window before the recipient receives. It is instantly received in liquid form an could be readily utilized. Tips is an awesome way for curators to reward content creators at the instance of curating the post and could be helpful when giving out extra liquid rewards in the case of scoring a contest.
The tipping tool helps to burn the token tipped by 1%. This is meant to check an abuse of the tool while rewarding contents.
My concern now is how to be able to tip Hive-engine tokens like LEO, SPORTS, CHARY, HUSTLER, CTP, NEOXIAN, etc, to my favourite contents which I think deserve more rewards than my curation power can afford.
I hope the Hive-engine developers could make some additions to let us have this feature running. A command tool as applicable for ENGAGE Token created by @abh12345 could be cool.
I want to weigh diverse curation options to choose my best way to reward quality contents created on Hive blockchain and particularly, with the tribes token.
