I would love to see an optional secondary tip field for media memos. When I post a video I'd like to give viewers a way to tip the content creator directly, not just the curator.

That's interesting. How would the viewer verify it's the real address of the content creator?
.::[dEViANCe]::.

Downsides: reposters will get tips for content they didn't create, lots of unclaimed tips from messages being ignored/missed, off-chain communication so not all immutably recorded...

Could feasibly be extended platform-by-platform to anything with an API and messaging function: YouTube, Reddit, Imgur, DeviantArt, etc

4. Bot account messages the channel on YouTube and tells them how to login to memo and claim their tip/start using memo.

3. Backend uses off-chain YouTube API to get() the channel name and auto-generate a memo profile with that username, which receives the tip.

2. Bob sees the post, clicks the "tip OP" button, enters tip amount

1. Alice posts a YouTube video on memo.cash, "tip OP" button appears next to "like" button

Maybe do it with off-chain bot accounts? e.g.:
.::[dEViANCe]::.

You can't really :( Maybe there is an 'owner' tx cmd which references the post tx hash and an address. Client can surface the most frequent reference, anyone can 'fix' a problem?
replied 2142d
If the referenced media is YT, the payment info could be in the YT video description which the memo client finds. Could then reasonably know that the address refers to the uploader.

I like that idea. If there was a reference on the chain to an address that wasn't in the description, or meta data in the case of a magnet you would just surface a warning.

There could be a link to a proof following address
replied 2142d
Proof meaning a signed message? I see how that could work.
replied 2141d
In some cases even link to a e.g. twitter account could work. In this context proof is something community can validate by different means.

would be cool if community voting could work. attach a poll to a twitter proof link along with a valid BCH address and bam! community can vote on validity. if valid, tip field appears

Can be gamed and requires too much actions...
