Nano Tips is a reddit tipping service to easily give nano (XNO) to your favorite redditors, posts and comments! Nano is a fast and feeless cryptocurrency that can be traded at numerous exchanges. Before using Nano Tips, please take a look at the Terms of Service
Nano Tips is a fork of the old tipbot Nano Tipper, which was discontinued on March 7th, 2022. If you had funds on the old tipbot, you will have to move them to this new bot. This is not an automatic process.
A) Create an account by sending a message to /u/nano_tips with 'create' or 'register' in the message body. You will receive a nano address, to which you can add nano*. You will receive a 0.001 XNO tip for registering! Also, try any of the faucets at Nano Links
-or-
B) Receive a nano tip from a fellow redditor, and you will automatically have an account made! be sure to activate it afterwards by sending a message to /u/nano_tips. Once you have funds in your account, you can tip other redditors, or send to nano address via PM to /u/nano_tips.
(*Nano Tips is in early beta! Only send small amounts of XNO)
Nano Tips is intended for tipping on reddit posts and replies. On any tracked subreddit you can tip and type a message like:
!ntips 0.01 This is great!
This will tip a redditor 0.01 XNO. !ntips AMOUNT must be the first thing in your message OR the last thing. Such, this is also a valid tip:
This is great! !ntips 0.01
Or from anywhere on reddit, you can tip a commenter by:
/u/nano_tips 0.01 This is great!
or
This is great! /u/nano_tips 0.01
Even specify a currency!
!ntips 1USD Enjoy a dollar!
If the subreddit is a friendly subreddit (which correlates to tracked subreddit), the bot will respond with a message. If the subreddit is not tracked, there is a $1USD minimum and the bot will send PMs instead of responding. If the subreddit is marked as "silent", PMs will be sent.
Nano Tips also works by PM (NOT CHAT). Send a message to /u/nano_tips for a variety of actions.
To send 0.1 XNO to reddit_user, include this text in the message body:
send 0.1 /u/reddit_user
-or-
send 0.1 reddit_user
To send 0.1 XNO to nano_3pnanopr3d5g7o45zh3nmdkqpaqxhhp3mw14nzr41smjz8xsrfyhtf9xac77, include this text in the message body:
send 0.1 nano_3pnanopr3d5g7o45zh3nmdkqpaqxhhp3mw14nzr41smjz8xsrfyhtf9xac77
or send all your balance:
send all nano_3pnanopr3d5g7o45zh3nmdkqpaqxhhp3mw14nzr41smjz8xsrfyhtf9xac77
There are many other commands.
'balance' or 'address' - Retrieve your account balance. Includes both pocketed and unpocketed transactions
'create' - Create a new account if one does not exist
'help' - Get this help message
'history <optional: number of records>' - Retrieves tipbot commands. Default 10, maximum is 50.

'withdraw <amount or all> <user/address>' - Same as send
'convert <amountcurrency>' - Calculates the nano value of the specified curency. e.g. `convert 1USD`. Also works with "price" and "value".

Nano Tips is broccolish! You can use 🥦 on your tips to send 0.133 XNO.
!ntips 🥦
You can also specify different amounts to send more 🥦!
!ntips 5🥦
-or-
!ntips 🥦🥦🥦🥦🥦
If you are a moderator of a subreddit, and would like to tipping to your sub, use the subreddit command. For example, for me to activate tipping on my /r/nano_tips subreddit, I send a PM to the bot saying:
subreddit nano_tips activate
This will allow the bot to look for !ntips commands and respond to posts. -or- If I don't want the bot to respond, but still want tips:
subreddit nano_tips activate silent
-or- for a cleaner tipbot response:
subreddit nano_tips activate minimal
To deactivate, simply PM:
subreddit nano_tips deactivate
To set a minimum, specify like so:
subreddit nano_tips minimum 1

- Don't keep a lot of nano in your Nano Tip Bot account
- You accept the risks of using this Tip Bot--While I have no intention of stealing your nanos, they might be lost at any point, and I'm under no obligation to replace them. Don't put in more than you're willing to lose.
- If your account is inactive for more than 3 years, and no meaningful attempt has been made to reach me, the nanos in your account will be forfeited and I am under no obligation to return them. Why did I write this? Because the tip bot is not a lifelong custodian service -- I don't want people reaching out to me after years for their nanos the left on the tip bot. I don't want to have to keep the database with me the rest of my life. That being said, if the bot is still running in 3 years, your nano is more than likely available.
- Don't submit more than 5 requests every 30 seconds. The bot will ignore any commands you issue until 30 seconds have passed.
- I can change the Terms of Service at any time.
This is to prevent unintentional tips! If the program simply scanned the entire comment, a user might accidentally quote someone else's tip command in a response. In the future I might change this, but for now it's the best way to ensure the program behaves as expected.
NO! Unless you and you alone control your private keys, your funds are never safe! Please don't keep more than a few nanos on the tipbot at any time! This program is a hobby project, not a battle tested exchange. Bad things can happen, including lost nano! Use at your own risk!
If the address isn't affiliated with a redditor, No. I only have private keys for redditors, not for addresses. If you send nano to Binance for example, I cannot retrieve it.
You basically gave a stranger a dollar, and I have no control over that. Yes, I technically control the private keys, but I really don't want to start manually making unauthorized transactions on people's accounts. If the stranger is a redditor and doesn't activate their account, you will get your tip back in 30 days. If they do activate their account, it's theirs. You can try asking them for it back.
Users are allowed 5 requests every 30 seconds. If you do more than that, the bot ignores you until 30 seconds have passed.
Probably not. It's most likely the bot was temporarily disconnected. If a command is issued while the bot is offline, the command will not be seen. If no response is received from the bot after a few minutes, send a message to the bot with the text 'history'. If you get a response and the tip isn't in your history, that means it wasn't seen. If you don't get a response, the bot is probably still offline. Try again in a few minutes.
Send /u/playnano a PM on reddit, or post on https://reddit.com/r/nano_tips
If a reddit tip is a reply to a reply, it's better to keep a short message with an error code.
