Tip people on twitter with hive
Tip people on twitter with hive
Few hours ago @fullalt wrote a post about new browser extension that will enable hive coin holders to tip Hive coins on Twitter. For full explanation and a video how that works, check the original article by clicking HERE
I had no idea that this was in development, so it came as a surprise when i seen the post. It looks like a great addition for Hive coin, and also a nice tool to promote Hive blockchain, but it could also be used to promote your Hive account.
It currently works on Chrome and all chrome based browsers. I was testing it on Brave. When you install the extension Hivetips you will get new option on Twitter
When you click on it, it connects with Hive Keychain and you can confirm your transaction. As not everyone have Hive wallet person you tipped gets a massage:
if you click on hiveblocks link you will see that your tip goes to hivetips.pool account and when user you tipped replays with his/her user name it goes from hivetips.pool to account you tipped.
One problem in this is what happens when user does not replay? At this moment nothing. But developers of HiveTips said in the comments that code is on the way to unclaimed hive be returned to user after 30 days.
@jackmiller Right now, for the time being it is in the account hivetips.pool however, this is already being coded in for the next update to the app whereby if the tip is not claimed withing 30 calendar days, it is returned to sender.30 days has been a norm used on Hive in the past and it is ample time for people to read the comments on their Tweets or read their Notifications on Twitter.
This looks like a great idea, now i am just waiting to see will even Hive users claim Hive tips that i send to test this out :D And later when return code is added, it will be interesting to see, how many tweeter users that don't have Hive claim it, and even more, how many not crypto people do so.
I just learned i don't know how to spell twitter 🤷🤡
Ha! Cool! :D I didn't realize I was tipped until I saw your post! If a user gets many replies/mentions on twitter they might miss the hivetips mention. But I followed instructions and now I got my tip! :D That's awesome!
Here's where I replied with my username to receive the tip:
And check the reply from hivetips:
Worked like a charm! :D
Thanks for the write-up @bil.prag, and thanks for the tipping feature @jackmiller!
Cheers :D
that could be a problem, but when the code to return funds to owner is added i feel it will not be that big of a problem. it would be ideal to just automatically connect but i have no idea how would that work. it is the first day of it, so let's see how will it move forward
Returning unclaimed tips is an important step. Would be great if there was an on-chain mention on top of the twitter one :-) This is a first version, let’s see where it goes!
Hey @soyrosa thanks for the shout out, the thanks goes to the entire team at FULLALT
It was and is a team effort and a special BIG SHOUT OUT to @lightproject who is the main Dev on this project that we are working on.
Cheers.
Hive is ALIVE!
That is something cool. Thanks for the detailed explanation and heads up. See ya on Tweety (and HIVE of course)! 😁
Twitter link
Very well explained!
nice work.
We feel the actual claiming of the tips nurtures engagement across both Hive and Twitter. Thank you for the review and we hope you continue to use it to appreciate people!
i just think that code that is planed to get back hive to owner if not claimed would make people tip more "not hive" people, also maybe not crypto people.
Now its Guaranteed. That Hive is Going to be Crazier in Few months More...
i seen youtube is on to do list, instagram would be interesting.
Instagram can be huge.
Just tested in Brave but couldn't get it to work
it works. did you add hive acc and tweeter account? you need to use hive keychain, and open tweeter to get options to click on the extension. i use it on brave
you need to be on tweeter tab on brave to be able to click on the extension
Thanks Bil, I've just added the missing piece KEYCHAIN, as I was using Hivesigner for the most part. I tried to do a tip, but came back with the message insufficient funds. Then I've realised that I powered up all my HIVEs. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll keep some hive around to test it out in the next few days.
