"Remember Bitcoin? The currency has fallen from the public eye in the past month, following sharp gyrations in value that saw its dollar-price fall below $100 per; the currency is currently valued at $128.34\u00A0per coin.\r\n\r\nAmong its fans and believers, the good ship Bitcoin sails on. To that end, folks over at Reddit have experimented and created a new way to tip Bitcoin to other users of the social website. Reddit recently introduced a system by which users can 'mention' other users; that capability opened the door for users of /r/Bitcoin to create a bot that allows for tipping.\r\n\r\nThe tipping service is now open to all Reddit subreddits, and all users, making it a site-wide experience. Details on how to get yourself up and running can be found here.\u00A0In practice, the tipping is quite simple:\r\nTo tip the parent comment/post one dollar:\r\n\r\n+/u/bitcointip $1\r\n\r\nTo tip user Bob .5 BTC:\r\n\r\n+/u/bitcointip @Bob .5 BTC\r\nIt's a simple, neat method to reward other users for behaving in a way that you approve of. The obvious analog to this new - albeit user-generated - capability is Reddit's official system by which users can give each other 'Gold,' the service's premium user experience that costs a few dollars.\r\n\r\nAmong Bitcoin's fans, I expect this feature to pick up traction. However, those same Bitcoiners see more than an intra-use for the tool. As Reddit user\u00A0j2510\u00A0said: &amp;quot;This is huge. This will do wonders to raise awareness and curiosity throughout reddit and the internet community.&amp;quot; Perhaps. It certainly won't hurt.\r\n\r\nIf you want to dig a bit more deeply, /r/BitcoinTip is the place to go.\r\n\r\nTop Image Credit:\u00A0Liza"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
