Hi TipJoy! Great concept! I was thinking about similar ideas, but didn't come up with two of your clever solutions: aggregation of micropayments to increase efficiency, and giftcards to avoid regulation. But I didn't want to give up on it, because I thought it would be good for the world. I'm glad to see you guys have already built it, and I'm very impressed with the execution! I might make a suggestion though. While Amazon is great, I'd like to think, or home, at a few people getting tips would be basically able to live off them for a time, and that means they'd need to either get cash, or be able to use tips to pay for living expenses. It might be troublesome to get a deal, but I'd love to see grocery stores as a source of giftcards. Many thanks, and a hearty congratulations, Kirigins!

Grocery stores are a great idea, although the execution could be a nightmare, particularly if you're thinking globally.

Do you mean a gift card to a grocery store? Does this work for you? http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=gw_br_gro?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=16310101 http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=gw_br_gro?%5Fencodi... Just kidding! I think the real solution is clearly to put in the legwork to become a licensed money transfer service. We fully intend to, but simply can't afford it till we close a Series A. So not to sound like a broken record, but use the service so we can impress VCs :-D
