What happens with the tips sent to a website that doesn't register with Mozilla? Maybe there should be a standard meta tag that websites can add to show they are looking for tips. And then they can even add a URL on the tag so they can use another provider if for some reason they don't want Mozilla to be the gatekeeper of their tip jar.
But then again, they can just add the link in the website itself like they already do.

- majewsky 7y agoA meta tag is better granularity because different pages on the same domain could be attributed to different authors. Also, if we put bank account numbers in DNS (metaphorically speaking), we will we a lot more DNS spoofing attacks.

- jerrac 7y agoNever heard of Beaker before. A quick skim of their site makes me interested. Thanks for sharing about it. :)
