RE: Let's Talk About Fees & Functionality Coming in the @tippy Text-to-Tip Service!

in #blog7 years ago

Why not just have a flat fee at 1% or 2%? What would be the arguments against not keeping it simple like that?

Sort:  

I did think about a flat rate fee.. Perhaps that would be better.

Certainly easier code wise to implement. However I've already got the tier / variable fee operational but it can just as easily be removed.

Yeah, I was thinking just from a coding perspective that it would be much easier to manage. But also as a user who wants to send a tip, looking at different tiers and thinking that you'll be "penalized" one way or another might be discouraging.

As the programmer and the person paying the costs of the operation, is there that much of a difference on your end in terms of cost/power if someone sends 0.01 STEEM or 10 STEEM? Because if there isn't a difference or if it's too small to matter, then a flat fee would probably be best.

I think flat fee is what the consensus seems to be..! This is why I made this post. To see what people prefer. :)
