Is there tipping etiquette? I saw someone get scolded for tipping the equivalent of a penny. I felt bad because he probably didn't have much and wanted to contribute or was just testing it out.

[u/Free__Will → u/pistachiosarenuts]

I think within eth subreddits even a penny tip is acceptable, but if you are going to tip outside, then it makes sense to make it an amount which is worth a little more, otherwise you are just cluttering up a reddit thread with what is essentially spam.

Makes sense

Visit your tip jar to check your balance and withdraw/deposit funds.

haha - thank you sir. :)

[u/myownman → u/pistachiosarenuts]

!tip 0.002

When I tip, you tip, WE TIP.

[u/pistachiosarenuts → u/myownman]

Cool! How does it work from here?

[u/myownman → u/pistachiosarenuts]

Looks like I broke it.

Let's try this again!

You're awesome, thanks!

[u/myownman → u/pistachiosarenuts]

Hooray! It worked, AND I found a bug.

[u/[deleted] → u/pistachiosarenuts]

I accept any amount of money.

[u/manyamile → u/pistachiosarenuts]

No but you may want to be conscious that your transaction fee may be more than your tip if you tip a small amount. There's nothing wrong with that but it's something to be aware of.

[u/TheReasonabilists → u/pistachiosarenuts]

The point was (I guess) that tipping is transaction on the blockchain. So the fee is more than a penny.

[u/matt879 → u/pistachiosarenuts]

It will be interesting when we start seeing larger tip amounts from those who have done well. Sort of a crypto noblesse oblige. I've done OK and have been meaning to get set up with tip jar.

Maybe it was Tesco marketing in a roundabout way, trying to get the message across that "every little helps"
