Bitcoin Tipping Suggestion

It would be really neat if S4GRU.COM got a tip button that could support these efforts.

 

 
 
People could donate 10 cents or 20 cents here or there and have it pool into the gift account.
 
Like a post Robert or AJ made?  Tip them!  Great way for micropayments to add up and make a difference on this site.
 
22,000 members - 10 cents each could do a lot of good!

That would be a good idea, but it seems a bit of a headache for Robert, as I remember he mentioned in the past that donations less than 5 bucks are merely a headache, they are appreciated but they are more of a pain than anything.  Not his exact words, just what I remember.  Also of those 22000 members how many are actually active on the site?

 

You are right though 10 cents here and 10 cents there does make a difference.

I would imagine that paypal fees and tracking of such low amounts are uneconomic.

 

However, with tipping, there are no fees and it would all go into one pool - eliminating the hassle of tracking.

Until the world of Bitcoin settles down, has very little risk, and goes a little more mainstream, we will not be able to dedicate resources or accept the risk associated with Bitcoin.

Just as an FYI, Microsoft is now accepting bitcoin:

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
The number of merchants accepting bitcoin now is very robust - I think that speaks to how mainstream this now is.
 
I still would love the ability to "tip" great posts.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall to update their overall strategies.   Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
