Today we’re happy to announce the launch of CoinTippy for streamers, instantly allowing any streamer to set up a tip page where they can be rewarded cryptocurrencies for their content by their followers.

For those unfamiliar with CoinTippy, it is a tip bot which operates on a number of platforms such as Reddit, Twitter, Telegram and today, Twitch. Not only does CoinTippy support these platforms, but it also supports a number of well-known cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash and ZCash (Bitcoin LN too!).

One may ask why a streamer would want to start accepting cryptocurrencies, so here’s three reasons:

- It solves the pesky issue of charge-backs.

- There’s no fees, no limits and no documentation required to start accepting tips in crypto.

- More people will be able to reward streamers. Unlike PayPal and Amazon, there’s zero barriers for using and transacting in cryptocurrencies.

Streamers can accept crypto in a few mouse clicks, taking less than 30 seconds.

As you can see from the above video, we have made sure the on-boarding process for interested streamers is a breeze, not taking more than a few clicks and not requiring any information to be filled in or sent. In addition, streamers don’t require any prior knowledge of cryptocurrencies to get started. Should any streamer run into any trouble, we’ve set up a dedicated Discord channel where we’ll be able to help them.

Moving forward, we’ll be expanding CoinTippy to additional platforms, implement more features and best of all (inspired by the Pineapple Fund) will also start offering our completely free services to non-profit organizations, allowing them to receive donations in various cryptocurrencies without any technical knowledge.
