I have been using the new @commentrewarder service for about a week now and as I am new to Hive it has helped me to give out some extra rewards to people who make the effort to comment on my posts. As my stake is quite low, despite already buying around 800 Hive and powering it up, it means I can't give out a meaningful vote by way of appreciation for comments on my posts.

This is exactly where @commentrewarder can step in and help out. It's been a really helpful service. It means that despite having a low stake I can still give out something a little more valuable as a reward to commenters of my posts. I now always put at the bottom of each post: This is a Commentrewarder engaged post. Comments on this post will receive a tip on post payout.

I do this so it's very clear that I am using @commentrewarder. However, I have already had what I think might be comments on my posts designed purely to grab some extra tips. So you have to be careful when liking comments to ensure spam or tip grab comments that are meaningless and not constructive are not upvoted, and therefore don't get the tip.

But that's the great thing about @commentrewarder you are in control of who gets the tips. So long as comments are constructive in some way then they'll get a vote from me and therefore a tip when the post pays out.
