Tipestry – A New Kind of Social Media Platform

Tipestry – A New Kind of Social Media Platform

Tipestry is a new kind of social media platform that automatically adds a comment section with built-in cryptocurrency tipping to any website, allowing posters and website owners to earn Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies for creating and sharing content.

Tipestry Go is an augmented reality platform that lets users leave comments and 3D objects at any physical location and hunt for digital coins hidden around the world.

Our mission is to make the web freer and more inclusive, help spread cryptocurrency adoption, and provide content creators alternatives to advertising and censored payment platforms. We are building a meta layer on top of the Internet and real world to achieve this.

Tipestry adds a comment section to any website, enabling discussions of an endless variety of topics and letting contributors earn cryptocurrency for posting content, leaving comments, and curating posts. It also lets users tip website owners and shows popular topics in a content aggregation format on Tipestry.com.

To create or view existing comments about a website, enter the site’s URL on Tipestry.com and a page will load with a list of topics and the option to create a new topic. From this page you can also upvote or downvote the site and donate cryptocurrency to its owner once they are verified.

Tipestry Browser Extension

The Tipestry Browser add-on introduces a new, social way to surf the web by letting you join conversations about the site you’re on directly from the browser. It also lets you show your appreciation for content creators and donate Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, etc. to website owners and other Tipestry users.

One of the reason we created Tipestry is that it’s become common for news companies to remove or censor the comment sections on their sites. Another is that many social media platforms and payment processors have been censoring and outright deplatforming their users. We believe it’s important for regular people to have alternative avenues to express themselves and earn money without a handful of tech oligarchs deciding who’s allowed to participate.

Tipestry Go

Tipestry Go for iOS, Android, and the web (tipestrygo.com) lets you leave comments and augmented reality objects at any physical location, join local chats for your city, and see the location of Wikipedia article on the map or in AR. It also features Treasure Hunts, where you can collect digital coins nearby in augmented reality or hidden around the world from the map screen.

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 your 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 you have to link a bank or credit card and give up your 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.

3. Verify your website to start receiving tips for your site. No need to submit personal information, no need to add a donate 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.

Gather coins in augmented reality.

4. Hunt for Coins in the Tipestry Go augmented reality app, which features Treasure Hunts where you follow clues and hunt for coins hidden around the world. You 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 your business card floating in the air in front of you and the person you’re talking to can easily tap on it and add to their contact list.

Ways to Promote your Content or Business through Tipestry:

1. Make a Post on Tipestry about your site or content. From the post page, you can receive tips and points towards leveling, and the more votes and tips you receive, the higher the post shows up on the Tipestry.com content aggregation site. To gain further exposure, you can also share a link to the Tipestry post on Facebook, Twitter, and other legacy social platforms.

In addition to posts and coins, the map and AR screens in Tipestry Go show the location of Wikipedia articles that contain physical coordinates.

2. Add Your Project’s Token to Tipestry. If you have an ERC-20 token you would like to spread the word about or distribute to crypto enthusiasts, drop us a line about listing your token on Tipestry.

3. Place Coins at Your Physical Business: Tipestry Go lets you place coins and coupons in augmented reality at your physical location to encourage foot traffic from users of the app.

4. Micro e-lancing and bounties: create a post on Tipestry offering rewards for completing tasks such as social media activities and small freelance jobs, and pay people for doing them through tips.

Tipestry is a next-generation social platform built utilizing cryptocurrency to make the Internet fairer and more interactive. Check us out at tipestry.com and discover a better way to use the web.
