# Tip-bot
Tip-bot is a Discord bot that allows Discord users to easily tip each other in cryptocurrencies. 

Tip-bot is meant to be as easy to use as possible. Most users are only going to need two commands: One command for depositing cryptocurrencies to Tip-bot's wallet, and one command for tipping.

**To get started, write `!tip help` in a server where Tip-bot is present.**

## Quickguide
**Deposit** one of the coins Tip-bot supports with the command `!tip deposit <coin>`, for example `!tip deposit LTC`.

**Tip** someone by writing the command `!tip <@user> <amount> <coin>`, for example `!tip @joe 1 LTC`.

**Check your balance** with the command `!tip balances`.

**For more commands** use the command `!tip manual`

## Tipping
Tips occur immediately, and off-blockchain. When you tip a person, an amount equal to the tip is removed from your balance and added to that persons balance.

Tipping supports the SI prefixes `m - milli` and `u -
 micro`. This enables you to more easily tip small amounts. As an example, the following commands will tip the same amount to Joe:

`!tip @joe 0.001 LTC`

`!tip @joe 1 mLTC`

`!tip @joe 1000 uLTC`

## Stability and security
Tip-bot is hosted on a dedicated server secured with a random-character password and Two Factor Authentication. This ensures high uptime and excellent safety for the funds deposited with Tip-bot.

Certain features have been implemented to minimize the risk of using Tip-bot.

* Thorough event logging
* Secure command parsing
* Command throttling
* Spam attack banning
* Direct error reports to the developers
* SQL input sanitization

Tip-bot has been thoroughly tested, and is so far working perfectly. Anyone can withdraw their crypto at any time with the command `!tip withdraw <amount> <coin> <address>`. Before the withdrawal is executed, you are presented with an overview of the withdrawal information for you to accept.

## Supported coins and features
Tip-bot currently only supports Litecoin. More coins will be added in the future. 

Tip-bot is also able to maintain a "phone book" of cryptocurrency addresses of each user. Anyone can register addresses to their user with the command `!tip setaddress <coin> <address>`, for example `!tip setaddress LTC o3rlnlk34j3lkj`. Other users can see your list of registered addresses with `!tip <@user>`.


## Fees
There is a 0.5% fee on all tips, in order to cover some of the server cost. The fee will be reduced when Tip-bot becomes more widely used.
