RE: Steemit - a proposed idea of a feature to add... Tipping
Tipping would be nice BUT it is a half-measure, and something that is already easily accomplishrd via transfer with use of memo to mention thr reason for the tip ...
No, what we need to be able to do is STEEM to the total payout of any post. @freeplay presented this a few days back, and I added my mostly ignored hot air a short time afterward. It is a something that could theoretically replace PROMOTE ..which is useless imho.

I also don't mind sending STEEM directly to a payout. That could be another method. Yet wouldn't that be tied to the PAYOUT period? If not then I am essentially proposing an interface (UI only) method to make it easier for people to send SBD or STEEM to someone only by specifying amount and without losing their place. The KISS principle... Keep It Simple Stupid (though I don't think you are stupid at all).
The funds for unpaid posts are always stored in STEEM until payout (in the
reward_fund) so adding STEEM to the post would work fine regardless of payout method. It wouldn't work for payout declined posts so in that case it would have to be blocked/disabled or cause an immediate transfer instead.Keeping it simple has obvious merit too.
Yep.. if we can add functions that are simple but allow people to engage as a community more, that is a positive.
Did you READ the post?
I kind of covered all of that in detail.
I covered that in DETAIL in the post... it takes 9 steps. Takes you away from what you were reading. Does not exactly cater to IMPULSE. So yes it can be done. My proposal is to make it easier to do on impulse without making a person go to another part of the website (or use the CLI if they are elite).
Now that you mention it ..it is a pain in the ass. 9 steps . from a UX perspective that is about 7 too many. :)
Exactly... that was actually the epiphany moment. I knew we could tip, but I suddenly realized we could likely make it easier to do and it might be used more. Then I thought about hiding the button(s) when your balance to tip with is at zero.
Great idea!
I'm guessing that was rhetorical...
Maybe tipping in the form of sending STEEM to the post in question could be done by simply clicking the upvote button twice and then confirming?
