Tipestry.com is a platform where people can post comments about other websites and tip comments they like with cryptocurrency. And Tipestry Go is a mobile app for iOS and Android that lets users leave a comment at any physical location. Comments can be placed either at the user’s current physical location or by selecting a spot on the map. Comments can be viewed through the map view, through a list of nearby posts within a selected range, in a section showing popular posts worldwide, or in Augmented Reality. Digital coins are also hidden around the world and can be collected through the app. Refer people to Tipestry using the referral code found in your profile. If they sign up with your code, you receive a 5% bonus on top of every doge they earn (and they don’t lose any). For example if they get a 100 doge tip, they get 100 doge and you get 5 doge.
Why cryptocurrency?
A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is difficult to counterfeit because of this security feature. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency, and arguably its most endearing allure, is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.
Cryptocurrencies make it easier to transfer funds between two parties in a transaction; these transfers are facilitated through the use of public and private keys for security purposes. These fund transfers are done with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the steep fees charged by most banks and financial institutions for wire transfers.
The anonymous nature of cryptocurrency transactions makes them well-suited for a host of nefarious activities, such as money laundering and tax evasion. However, cryptocurrency advocates often value the anonymity highly. Cryptocurrencies are also considered by some economists to be a short-lived fad or speculative bubble - concerned especially that the currency units, such as Bitcoins, are not rooted in any material goods. Bitcoin has indeed experienced some rapid surges and collapses in value.
Seeing the potential of cryptocurrency makes Tipestry come up with an idea where this platform will make people able to comment and tip anywhere by using cryptocurrency as payment payment. Although some sites feature comment sections or message boards, most do not. One of the goals of this project is to provide more places for people to interact and give feedback online, including the more obscure (or censored) corners of the web.
