One way to exchange crypto would be to find a user on your chat willing to trade with you. We also recommend quick exchange services like Shapeshift or Changelly, which support most of the cryptocurrencies tip.cc does. We are also working on bringing user-to-user trades to tip.cc, stay tuned!
Quickguide
Deposit one of the coins Tip-bot supports with the command !tip deposit , for example !tip deposit LTC.
Tip someone by writing the command !tip , for example !tip @joe 1 LTC.
Check your balance with the command !tip balances.
For more commands use the command !tip manual
Tipping
Tips occur immediately, and off-blockchain. When you tip a person, an amount equal to the tip is removed from your balance and added to that persons balance.
Tipping supports the SI prefixes m - milli and u - micro. This enables you to more easily tip small amounts. As an example, the following commands will tip the same amount to Joe:
!tip @joe 0.001 LTC
!tip @joe 1 mLTC
!tip @joe 1000 uLTC
Stability and security
Tip-bot is hosted on a dedicated server secured with a random-character password and Two Factor Authentication. This ensures high uptime and excellent safety for the funds deposited with Tip-bot.
Certain features have been implemented to minimize the risk of using Tip-bot.
Thorough event logging
Secure command parsing
Command throttling
Spam attack banning
Direct error reports to the developers
SQL input sanitization
Tip-bot has been thoroughly tested, and is so far working perfectly. Anyone can withdraw their crypto at any time with the command !tip withdraw . Before the withdrawal is executed, you are presented with an overview of the withdrawal information for you to accept.
Supported coins and features
Tip-bot currently only supports Litecoin. More coins will be added in the future.
Tip-bot is also able to maintain a "phone book" of cryptocurrency addresses of each user. Anyone can register addresses to their user with the command !tip setaddress , for example !tip setaddress LTC o3rlnlk34j3lkj. Other users can see your list of registered addresses with !tip .
Fees
There is a 0.5% fee on all tips, in order to cover some of the server cost. The fee will be reduced when Tip-bot becomes more widely used.
