I think this is great.
But what do you mean by saying that these will be free for now? I am interested in how you plan on this working out. There has to be some kind of incentive structure. This could be a great idea or a bad one. Until we know the plan it will be hard to assess. Maybe we can chat about this?
Oh, and for the delegates I would say it is between Xeroc and Riverhead. 
DUDE! You didn't include your wallet! I can't send you the free DelegateTip!
Means exactly what it means.. this is a free giveaway! I gave this about 90 seconds of thought before I went ahead and created the asset. We need something to allow people to celebrate those that do good work. Been way to much talk about how to penalize those that don't. This way we reward those that do.. and leave those that don't out in the cold.
I been spending BTS out of my own pocket with every transaction so far. That's not sustainable! People eventually are going to decide what a DelegateTip is worth. I can see possibly bitsharesblocks creating a new dataset for the top delegates to show how much DelegateTips each of them got.
This is just a step up in how everyone can give THANKS to their delegates instead of just VOTES. Delegates are people not politicians.. now they have their own little slice of bitheaven to look at see how much their efforts are appreciated. It will sustain itself over time.
So the plan is no plan. You can assess whatever you like from that.
Sure we can chat about this!! I will have a conversation about celebrating our finest delegate warriors any day of the week!
What if I want to give them to someone who isn't a delegate? Is this allowed?
To be honest there are so many amazing people who have helped me along my path as a bitshares community member that I honestly can't just choose one. Doing so would imply that I find a single person more valuable than another and would thus have the potential of having the opposite effect of why you made this thread. I love the idea, but I don't know how to participate...so instead of following the rules, I am going to break them (sorry).
38ptswarrior...for being the most underestimated community member I know of.
Gamey...worked with me on the hangouts when there were only a few people interested. He even edited many of them. This is in addition to working on a large portion of the wiki and a number of other amazing things for the entire bitshares ecosystem. He will never run a delegate for himself because he doesn't like the politics (me either).
JoeyD...in between his moments of sulking that any day might be his last, and how he feels so stupid now that he lost his photographic memory, he has done so much for making the Mumble server not just a place to have hangouts, but a place to play.
BTSWildPig...for bridging the Gap between the Eastern and Western communities.
Xeroc...for always being their when i had a technical question, and sending tips to me to keep my hopes up when I was secretly questioning if I would be better off getting a second job and just buying bitshares
Riverhead...for being their when I've had questions to help my dad understand how blockchains work on a more deeply technical perspective
Mira...for jumping in head over heels with enthusiasm and just wanting to help wherever she can
Emailtooaj...for volunteering when Gamey could no longer do so to edit our hangouts, despite difficulties in real life
Datasecuritynode...for always being in the server to wait for the cambrian explosion
Rune...for dealing with my bullshit and still believing in me
MethodX...for pulling the community together when we needed to realize we didn't need any one person for marketing.
Matt608...for going through hell to start his delegate and get it in, and for continued efforts to bring us to Argentina
Bitscape/Roadscape...for giving so much of themselves to build something everyone can utilize...
RGCrypto...for busting his butt to build the science of marketing bitshares
HPEnvy... for starting the Newsletter
CryptoPrometheus....for continuing in HP's footsteps.
BitMarket...for working and paying out of pocket to produce BitSharesTV
Onceuponatime...for willingly giving to many various causes from his own BitShares funds
Cass...for being a badass who could easily make far more working for some big corporation but stays here where he rarely even gets tipped for his work
Toast...for giving up Google
Gentso...for being honest with me and teaching me I need to get capital to build what I hope to build
Stan...for his vision and teaching me the value of an entire bitshares universe as opposed to just one Hypergiant solarsystem
Bytemaster....for building it so we would all come
and so many more that I will make this list ridiculous (if it isn't already).
I guess roll a couple dice! Sorry for the nightmare...but you asked!
