If I go to a restaurant and leave separate tips for the bartender vs waitstaff, is the restaurant now a money transmission service?

- rolenthedeep 4y agoThat's a payment to the restaurant, and is counted with the employee's normal pay. Or if you personally hand cash to people it becomes a personal gift. The situation is more analogous to patreon: a centralized service which you make bulk payments to, and they divvy the payment to your selected set of people who are not employees of patreon. Brave is starting a centralized service where you make bulk payments to them, and they divvy up the payment to your selected set of sites who are not employed by brave
- __MatrixMan__ 4y ago> Brave is starting ... I think the situation you describe is how brave has worked for many years now. Just fund your wallet and enable auto-contribute and it'll happen. Whether that's legal or not, I dunno. My point is that however legal it is is unchanged if you give users more control over how much goes where and let them curate such settings for each other.
