From what we've tested it doesn't tip if the tip is in quote blocks (so that works as intended).

What's new that I've noticed (potentially a bug) is if a name exists within our cache, it will allow for case insensitivity (refer to how you typed "Fuzzy" vs. "fuzzy") but if a name does not exist within our system and it's incorrect-case version is used, it won't be added.

Can I get confirmation from a moderator or some experienced user if names on this forum are case sensitive? i.e. I have the name hybridd, can someone make the name hybridD?

The system doesn't correlated bitsharestalk account -> BTS wallet (because not all users have one specified).

The workflow works like this right now (I will use fuzzy as the example here):


Fuzzy deposits his BROWNIE.PTS into our system (using the memo code provided on his profile as btstip.io) and waits for the transaction to confirm
Fuzzy then proceeds to tip whoever he wants on the forums using their forum name

If a user mapping does not exist within the system already (forum name -> forum id ... e.g. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=38721 is your profile, so 38721 is your id) then you are looked up via the 'Search Member' function on the forum. If a mapping is then found, you're stored in a cache so you won't need to be looked up again.

Once the user id can be determined a tip is generated and the tip is PM'd to the user, as well as a post being made on the forum (the bot prioritizes PMing over posting, so if you make 10 tips in one post, it will not begin posting until all 10 tips are PM'd).

A user then claims their tip from the link provided in the PM to their btstip.io account (no transaction fee imposed upon either the tipper, or the tip receiver).

At a users convenience they can withdraw their tip from the system (and be charged a transaction fee), to do so a user must first have a withdrawal code saved. If a user does not have one they can generate one (every 24h) which will then be PMed to the user (this is for "proof of account" purposes).

Using the withdrawal code, you can then withdraw the funds from your btstip.io account to a wallet and also specify an optional memo (allowing you to also withdraw funds directly to an exchange).

@tonyk I don't see your user id even in the cache, did you receive a tip or what? Your user id is 11011 on the forums.

Well once again , we seem to have ran into an issue so I'm going to disable all the tips that went out for BROWNIE.PTS and re-credit fuzzy, the bot encountered this error as it was trying to distribute the BROWNIE.PTS,

You have exceeded the limit of 20 personal messages per hour.

The bot has been  taken offline until this issue can be resolved with the assistance of a forum administrator / mod.

To anyone in the last 24 hours (about ~20 people) who received a message stating they have been tipped BROWNIE.PTS or BTS from fuzzy, please ignore it as all tips have been invalidated and cannot be claimed until our issues stated above are resolved.

Yeah, sorry I failed to mention we had disabled tipping UIA's due to changes we were under going last night, I'm re-enabling it now so it should get processed shortly.
Edit: I also just disabled all the tips that previously had been issued from fuzzys post since they were issued as BTS and not BROWNIE.PTS while I had UIA's disabled.

TRANSFER
From kuro113
To btstip-com
Amount 0.1 USD

Hi, so when transferring an asset from one account to another, here it paid my tx fee in USD (the asset),

where as here,

TRANSFER
From btstip-com
To hybr1d
Amount 0.1067 USD
Fee 42.42186 BTS

it paid the transaction fee in BTS. How do I know when the transaction fee will be paid in the form of an asset, or when it will just use regular BTS?

Thanks.

Further questions:
Is there a way to guarantee what the fee is paid in? This isn't evident from the api,
