Quickguide
Deposit one of the coins Tip-bot supports with the command !tip deposit <coin>, for example !tip deposit LTC.

Check your balance with the command !tip balances.

Tipping
Tips occur immediately, and off-blockchain. When you tip a person, an amount equal to the tip is removed from your balance and added to that persons balance.
Tipping supports the SI prefixes m - milli and u - micro. This enables you to more easily tip small amounts. As an example, the following commands will tip the same amount to Joe:
!tip @joe 0.001 LTC
!tip @joe 1 mLTC
!tip @joe 1000 uLTC
Stability and security
Tip-bot is hosted on a dedicated server secured with a random-character password and Two Factor Authentication. This ensures high uptime and excellent safety for the funds deposited with Tip-bot.
Certain features have been implemented to minimize the risk of using Tip-bot.
Thorough event logging
Secure command parsing
Command throttling
Spam attack banning
Direct error reports to the developers
SQL input sanitization
Tip-bot has been thoroughly tested, and is so far working perfectly. Anyone can withdraw their crypto at any time with the command !tip withdraw <amount> <coin> <address>. Before the withdrawal is executed, you are presented with an overview of the withdrawal information for you to accept.
Supported coins and features
Tip-bot currently only supports Litecoin. More coins will be added in the future.
Tip-bot is also able to maintain a “phone book” of cryptocurrency addresses of each user. Anyone can register addresses to their user with the command !tip setaddress <coin> <address>, for example !tip setaddress LTC o3rlnlk34j3lkj. Other users can see your list of registered addresses with !tip <@user>.
Fees
There is a 0.5% fee on all tips, in order to cover some of the server cost. The fee will be reduced when Tip-bot becomes more widely used.
