anyone remember snackpass? it was a game where you'd earn emojis for eating at spots on campus. get ten 🍦 emojis, get a free ice cream. you'd send emojis to your friends with a little note, and have a feed of where friends are earning and sending emojis to feels like an onchain / fc version of this would crush.

I think this is the endgame of where the experiments in tipping culture are going. We're just trying to figure out best practices for how to manage supply, issuance, and exploit-proofing. Instead of just centrally managed, like your example.

degen afaik was the first project to do it (decentralized or not) which is super cool. but I don't think it needs to be decentralized to work. it's just a good product / growth mechanism.

Agreed, but we don't need Blockchain for centralized versions of this, as you pointed out. The value for a Blockchain version is the transparency potential so people don't have to trust that is not a scam, they can see it for what it is. I think tipping experiments are discovering these necessary characteristics.

Put it another way: We won't convince offchain businesses to utilize these onchain tools until we can show them how to implement them in ways that can't be scammed, because that's the cost that is their bottom line on promotions: how much do they lose to scams that don't generate them future revenue.

I personally think that the only way we'll convince businesses to use it is by creating products that are better because of it, not just safer. but I do see your point.
