A couple of days ago I managed to resolve a quandary I had been contending with ever since joining Hive. How do I reward people more generously than my small stake will allow? So I made a pledge to donate 5-10% of all my post payouts to rewarding other peoples' posts and comments with tips.
These tips are effectively doubling up as votes, VIPS if you like, but it's a useful function for people in my position who are relatively new to the platform, or for those with a small stake that can't give out a generous vote.
I have now implemented my idea. However, it got me thinking. Ideally I would like to place that 5-10% funds in a separate part of the wallet but still have immediate access to them. So the savings option built into the wallet does not help me as it takes three days to drawn down funds from savings. Clearly powering up these funds won't help me either. So what do I do to separate my new tip fund from my general Hive balance?
Well this got me thinking, wouldn't it be great to have a separate area of the wallet that can be used to separate funds for different purposes in the form of a savings jar, or in my case a tip jar. The main point being to have a separate jar where you could place your Hive liquid and ringfence these funds for specific purposes. That way it doesn't all get mixed up in one balance.
You probably have noticed that a lot of the online banks and even traditional banks now offer a savings jar option, some offer more than one. It's a neat way of managing your money actually. I don't see why this could not be considered as a serious upgrade to the Hive wallet. I'm sure many others would benefit from having this option also and would be pleased to see this additional functionality in the wallet.
What do you guys reckon? Any witnesses out there who like this idea?
Peace!
I think that's an amazing idea. I also was wondering how to reward more some posts that I really appreciate. Giving out tips is surely an option and having a tipping jar that one can use just for that could make it really simple and easy to do.
Any implementation that helps people to be awarded for their effort is a solid base to grow all the blockchain, especially because Hive is so much founded on social engagement and interaction
Thanks for this comment @harbiter, appreciate the support. Yes, I think a savings jar feature in the wallet would be a welcome addition. I have added the feedback tab as per @bleujay's suggestion and maybe it might provoke some consideration from the Hive elites, you never know.
Thank you very much for the tip man, that's very kind of you. I dare say that will also go into the tip fund!
Greetings @peaceandmoney ,
This is such an excellent idea.
You might want to add a hashtag of 'feedback'....idk if that is what works for Peakd, but it is the hashtag we are advised to use in Snaps.
Well done!
Cheers!
Thank you my friend for your lovely comment. I have now added the tag #feedback to the post, a very good idea so thank you for that suggestion.
Can mine be a cookie jar, i like cookies 😋 🍪
