Tip Button #401

Closed TimCliff closed 6 years ago

TimCliff commented 8 years ago

Add a tip button to comments and posts

faddat commented 8 years ago

Profile pages, too. This could be useful in a number of ways, for example, anyone with a steemit account would suddenly also have a publicly accessible place where people could click on their profile, and send them money (as opposed to the current situation where one must go to the wallet and manually setup a transfer to another user.)

I think this is an awesome suggestion.

tipping button on posts/profile pages

theoreticalbts commented 7 years ago

@mvandeberg and I were talking about this. The UI element for tipping a post should be hidden or greyed out unless you have a balance of at least $0.10 worth of SBD / STEEM and have already upvoted the post. We don't want to clutter the UI with an element that isn't relevant to the user's situation.

theoreticalbts commented 7 years ago

One of the core philosophical principles of Steem is we can reduce users' cognitive load by not bombarding them with decisions to spend tokens at every turn. In other words, a key design heuristic of Steem is that Microtransactions Are Bad.

Tipping is a microtransaction. Before we implement a tipping UI, we need to figure out why (or whether) tipping is exempt from the Microtransactions Are Bad design heuristic.

Tipping doesn't have to be a microtransaction; it is reasonable to expect $5 tips here and there.

As for UI - greyed out is good, hidden and then magically appearing is bad because it (usually) means that the UI elements get moved around unpredictably (from the user's perspective). It's best to keep whatever UI chrome in a fairly consistent layout, even if it's disabled in the user's current mode.

Just to be clear,

I don't think it's really just tipping. I wonder if we could find another word for it. I'm thinking more something that would emphasize the "pay N person $Y" aspect of this.

Who knows? It could be that such an interface was all that was needed to get people to realize the greatness of cryptocurrency blockchains (and thus use them). Could be "send SD to @*user" on the button or similar. This also gives people a reason to buy into the ecosystem: Global transfers of value are still hard as hell.

Something like Send, Give, or Gift would do well.

faddat commented 7 years ago

Verbify STEEM meaning "send cash to"?

It is a little bit different than what I originally suggested, but if we are looking to add more of a "send money" feature, it could be part of the options that show up when you click on a username (along with profile, follow, and mute).

jcalfee commented 7 years ago

It would be really good if we had a tips plugin that totaled these up per post. Otherwise tips will mostly be unnoticed.
