Ways to Earn Money Through Tipestry:
1. Level Up: Tipestry features a point-based leveling system that rewards users with Tipcoins and other tokens for completing tasks needed to level up. Tasks include things like receiving upvotes, gaining followers, referring other users, and sharing posts. Higher levels also increase voting power for site governance: Tipestry features a democratic, decentralized governance model designed to avoid the problems on older social platforms where site admins and moderators can abuse their power and push agendas.
2. Post content on Tipestry to receive tips and win periodic Best of Contests. Few social sites feature any kind of tipping, and when they do- it's usually either through fiat, which means users have to link a bank or credit card and give up their privacy, or, if it's through cryptocurrency, it's normally only though that platform's own obscure coin. Tipestry, on the other hand, features built-in tipping with Bitcoin, Ether, ERC-20 tokens, Dogecoin, and in the future many more coins and tokens.
Tips received are displayed at the bottom of posts.
3. For website owners-Verify website ownership to start receiving tips for a site. No need to submit personal information, no need to add a tip button to your site, no need to deal with obscure tokens, and no more need for permission from payment processors, banks, or censored crowdfunding platforms. Tipestry offers a completely new way to monetize content made possible through cryptocurrency.
All Tipestry accounts can give and receive tips for posts and comments, but websites must be verified by their owner before receiving tips.
4. Hunt for Coins in the Tipestry Go augmented reality app, which features Treasure Hunts where users follow clues and hunt for coins hidden around the world. Users can also take advantage of special offers from companies promoting their local businesses from the map screen. Tipestry Go also makes networking easier through AR - leave a business card floating in the air for people to tap on and add to their contact list.
