ChangeTip has been helping spread cryptocurrency across social media with its tipping bots. Many who would otherwise have no exposure to Bitcoin are brought into the fold as a result of tips sent to them through ChangeTip, especially on Twitter.
Now, ChangeTip has taken it one step further by launching a tipping widget for blog platforms, Tip.me.
Tip.me, which can be implemented on most platforms with a bit of Javascript, serves in a similar fashion to a Facebook “like” or Twitter “share” in that it makes social tipping as easy as a click of a button. This reduces the barrier for tipping. For many sites, currently users have to either scan a QR code or even copy and paste a wallet address into their wallet, choose the amount to tip, and then send it. With one-click tipping, it’s much easier.
With ChangeTip’s tipping widget, content creators can choose to either have their tips go to them directly, or have their contribution be directed toward a charity of their choice.
“We see the ‘like’ culture and want to level this up by changing gratitude online,” says ChangeTip co-founder Nick Sullivan. “This is a love button for the internet.”
Changetip hopes Tip.me will help reduce the barrier for entry for great content. Rather than having advertising fuel content, it can be fueled by the community itself. Since tipping allows for those who appreciate good content to directly compensate the content creator, it could reduce the need for advertising and make the internet a more user-friendly, less cluttered space.
