What is @tipU in 3 seconds:

Write tip! anywhere in the comment under a post - author of this post will receive small amount of SBD from you and you will get share in the service profit :)

post about cool features that would make steemit a much better, social esperienceHi guys, this is @cardboard here. 7 months ago I wrote a . Amongst the propositions there was an easy, fast tipping system. Steemit devs were too busy to do it so I made my own: @tipU :)

Quick @tipU guide:

Send any amount of SBD to @tipU
Please note: you can withdraw your deposit at any moment without any fees or restrictionsYou now have made a deposit on @tipU
If you like someone's post: write a comment with tip! anywhere in the comment
The author of this post will get 0.1 SBD from your deposit within few seconds
@tipU will automatically add a comment under the post praising your generosity :)

There's more:

In the comment write tip! 0.5 - the author will get 0.5 SBD. Any other number will work (min tip = 0.1 SBD)
In the comment write tip! post - the automatically added comment will feature your latest post so the author can check it out right away an upvote ;)
In the comment write tip! link - the automatically added comment will feature a link that you have set up earlier - for example a referral link (more about it in a moment)
In the comment write tip! hide - @tipU won't add any comment - you're a humble person... You can even delete the tip! hide comment after few seconds to leave no traces...

Profit:

The profit will come from:Every 12 hours @tipU checks its SBD balance and compare it to the sum of all deposits. If the difference is positive, 50% of the profit goes to Steem Power buy fund, the second half is given to the users - proportionally to size of their deposits.

upvoting @tipU comments (including @tipU selfvoting with small amount of vote power)
upvoting @tipU posts
@tipU will invest Steem Power into @minnowbooster for daily income. Investments into other useful projects are of course also possible.
donations

@tipU will be posting about:

service updates (no daily generic report spam, just valuable content)
guides about programming your own bots on steem / cryptocurrency exchanges
guides about using cryptocurrencies
usefull tools on steem platform - overall lots of tutorials and handy stuff

Please note, that you can deposit and withdraw your SBD without any restrictions or fees. You can also deposit and not send tips at all - so @tipU will work as a bank that pays you interest from it's earnings. But sending tips is to cool to not do this ;)

As for using vote power to sell votes - I think we have enough voting bots already, it would be much better to use Steem Power for upvoting and promoting valuable content, especially from new users. I will look into curation guilds that does this job :) If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Communication with @tipU:

You can communicate with @tipU by entering your steemit Wallet and sending any amount of SBD to @tipU with the commands written in memo. Every SBD amount sent that is greater than 0.001 (minimal transfer amount) will be also added to deposit. @tipU will send 0.001 SBD back with required information in the memo. List of available commands:

deposit - you can use empty memo or type in deposit in the memo - both will work as making deposit
balance - sends back your actual deposit balance
withdraw - withdraw all your funds from your deposit. It can also look like this:
- withdraw all - works the same as withdraw
- withdraw X.XXX - where X.XXX is a number of the SBD you want to withdraw
- For example withdraw 1.25 will withdraw 1.25 SBD
tip X.XXX - sets the default amount of tip when you use tip! in the comment. All your tips are by default 0.1 SBD but you can change this using this command
- For example: tip 0.5 will make your tip! send 0.5 SBD every time. Of course you can still use tip! 0.2 in the comment to send 0.2 SBD tip (or any other value)
link URL TITLE - sets your link when you use tip! link in the comments
- For example: link https://www.steemit.com/@tipu Check out my blog!tip! link in the comments to use this feature - will feature link to your blog in the @tipU comment. Use
donate - is treated by @tipU as an income - instead of increasing your balance, it will be divided betwen Steem Power fund and all users - so part of it will go back yo you :)

I know this can look complicated but don't worry - I will write about it with more examples soon under tipu tag.

Why use @tipU

it doesn't deplete your vote power
it doesn't deplete reward pool
it shares its profit with users, helping to spread reward pool more evenly
to send a tip you don't have to go to wallet, load your whole transactions list and send a transaction using private keys - you just write a tip! anywhere in the comment. Super handy on mobile :)
author gets SBD instantly - not after 7 days, no price variability
@tipU automatically adds comment that advertises your profile / newest post / link

How can I support the project:

use it! :)
follow @tipU and upvote its posts
upvote @tipU comments
delegate SP to @tipU (even small amount helps!)
donate

Please feel free to let me know about your suggestions or found bugs - you can write posts under tipu tag, I will be happy to answer any question :)
