ChangeTip integrates payment processing with social media and the web at large to transform the idea of a "share" into a method of financial appreciation, redefining the way people think about purchasing goods and services. Instead of broadcasting a tip as a bitcoin transaction, a separate ledger is kept by ChangeTip, only pushing on-chain transactions when a user withdraws funds from the service.

Features

Tip on the following platforms:

  • GitHub
  • Google+
  • Reddit
  • StockTwits
  • Tumblr
  • Twitter
  • YouTube

History

ChangeTip was founded on December 17th, 2013.[1] It gained significant notoriety in November 2014, when tipping small amounts of bitcoin became a viral practice on reddit and Twitter.

Criticism

Terms and Conditions

To use ChangeTip, including to receive a tip someone else has sent to you, you are required to agree to a long list of terms and conditions[2]. Among these conditions, you must agree to surrender your constitutional (at least in the USA) right to a trial by jury. Additionally, you must give up your right to reverse engineer their service. Many people find these terms unreasonable, and are as a result denied the tips that others may wish to send them via ChangeTip.
