What if the 9k isn't reached, let's say you get 5k, will the 50k sharebits be distributed through the donators as well? meaning each person who donated gets more share bits?

One thing I might have missed or you didn't mention, people don't need to tip ShareBits, they will be able to tip bitUSD, bitAsset BEER, bitAsset COFFEE, bitCNY, etc, right?

Very sorry @Akado. I was not intentionally ignoring your questions.



2) yes.  The idea is that we want to open it up to enable people to send ANY bitshares UIA and bitassets.  This bot very well might even allow us to later on send other tokens like peercoin, btc, ether...etc. but that would have to be verified with the rest of the group.
However, one final note...if we were to have the ability to do something like the decentralized exchange that enables people to insert peercoin and get a UIA for it that is traded on the bts decentralized exchange, then it is pretty much guaranteed any coin our community adds will be Shareable using the ShareBot.

I wonder if there are even 10 people with more than 5m bts

I like the project.

But I don't like the idea airdrop to community.
If your business can success, it's the best reward for community.

you need keep more shares for next fund, encourage your future team member,
if you keep less than 50%,  you'll lost motive power for the project.

you should ask venture capital instead of crowdfund, less than 10% shares for crowdfund is acceptable.

I don't want to say but it's the fact, most BTS are hold by speculators, they will have no contribute to your project.

I appreciate the input alt

We did this because it helps bitshares holders if their is a culture that forms around the token that essentially makes outside crypto holders realize that holding bts will be highly likely to give them stake in other, future associated projects. 

Imagine, for instance, if every bitcoin holder was sharedropped a portion of every new innovative token that came out.  Just imagine how many people would want to hold btc it this was the case for btc.  Do you really think it would harm btc and crypto? I personally think people would begin focusing on the technologies underlying the tokens they receive and would be far more likely to be strong hands.

But not only that...brownie holders are going to hold many as well...and we fully expect they will help drive future sharedrive initiatives and inspire bts holders to follow suit

It might be just me, but a tip below 2 USD is ether an insult (in real world) or an advertising for the tipping service (I crypto)...not a real tip.

Yes it's definitely just you The social media tipping and donating space is well established and the average and definitely the median are much lower than that. (The median is as low as 3 cents, but obviously that's offchain.)

The team behind dogetipbot, the popular tipping tool for the alternative digital currency dogecoin, has raised nearly $500,000 in a seed funding round.

“One of the things we’re really looking at is the user experience," Mohland said. "A lot of our traction initially was on Reddit, but we’re seeing a lot of demand on Twitter. So, what we’re working is our user experience, making it seamless.”

With a median tip of around 3 cents, dogetipbot is as much about the social experience of tipping as it is a rail for small payments.

Still the amount of tips you'd need to accumulate to cover the BTS transaction fee (as a basic member) makes it not very suited to the social tipping and donating market at the moment.

oh yeah we very much agree with you bro, we are doing our best to work out a fee-mitigation method that works for everyone, but in the end it will probably come down to the BTS network fee its self needing to be changed to ultimately support micros transactions like this.

'needing' is not the right word. BTS does not need to change its fee structure to accommodate a business bring what? 10K/year at its potential top to BTS?

It's about the network effect you gain through a large amount of social media users tipping & receiving in your currency, thereby learning about and spreading it. While Dogecoin has limited upsell potential, BTS does via exposing users to BitAssets and other BTS products and services.

The Dogetipbot alone has over 75000 users, while not all Uniques, it's far in excess of total BTS users or users we will likely gain over the next 18 months through most other methods. https://dogetipbot.com/

Tipping will bring in people, but people who are motivated to action over $1 are very very rarely going to be high value customers.

It seems a proportional fee structure with a cap would be better.  2 parameters into the system.
