The community, and particularly the generosity of tipping, seems to have been a driving factor. There are already multiple "tipping bots" on Twitter, which will give out Doge on command.
There's speculation that a similar functionality for Facebook would be like strapping SRB's to the side of the Doge moonrocket, and give it Much Velocity.
- michaelbuckbee 13y agoYou mention the generosity (which I agree with), but also the act of online tipping is a use case that crypto-currencies handle substantially better than me putting a dollar bill in a paper envelope and mailing it or paying a 25 cent transaction fee to tip 10 cents.
- Pxtl 13y agoYup. Reddit had bitcoin tipping functionality back when bitcoins were a buck or two. Getting tipped a quarter convinced me to figure out this cryptocurrency thing. Taking that mechanism outside of the Reddit sandbox is a big help. And yeah, I spent my quarter-BTC on Humble Bundles. Oops.
- rthomas6 13y agoWe'll see how long this lasts if Dogecoins become worth a lot more. BTC used to be like this, too, with many "Bitcoin faucets" dispensing coins at will just for entering an address.
