Hey everyone, so I've been having this idea for quite a while and I need some help to turn it into reality.
I want a tipbot that will be able to tip Steem to users outside of the Steem platform/blockchain.
The basic functions I have in mind are these:
Let's say I'm on Reddit and stumble upon a great submission or comment I want to tip some Steem to. The receiving user will probably not have a Steem account, so here is what the bot needs to be able to do.
I comment with a tip to this user of 1 Steem.
The bot account replies to the user that 1 Steem has been tipped to him.
In private messages, the tipbot account sends this user a passphrase and some instructions on how to get a Steemit account.
The user, if interested enough to create the account to claim his tip will comment with this passphrase on a post of the tipbot here on Steem and that way receive his tip.
There would be a certain amount of time to claim the tip, say 1 month. Under that time the funds that have been already tipped won't be able to be re-tipped unless the Steem user has loaded up more Steem onto the tipping account.
This should be a tip bot that any Steem user can use.
Reddit is the only site I know this method could work in so far, as Twitter for instance won't always allow you to send private messages to other users.
Let me know your thoughts about this and if there are any better ways you could think of to program this bot.
If any developer has the time and knowledge how to make this happen, feel free to reply here in the comments or contact me on steemit.chat or discord under the same username.
I will reserve the SBD gained from this post to get the developer started on creating this bot and we can discuss further payment/funding.
Thanks for reading!
