Originally a custodial wallet solution, the app is particularly noteworthy in that it is the work of one developer, Sergio Abril.<\/p>\n<p>Within the first several months of the app\u2019s launch, Tippin quickly rose to relative prominence in the crypto space. By March 2019, Tippin began <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/articles\/tippinme-takes-lightning-speed-more-14000-new-users\">accruing<\/a> roughly 200 users daily, with a total user base of around 14,000, and even got a shoutout from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.<\/p>\n<p>On May 23, 2019, Tippin\u2019s official Twitter account <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tippin_me\/status\/1131691351022743552\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> the release of version 1.0, officially leaving the app\u2019s beta stage of development. The update includes a variety of quality-of-life features that allow users to perform more actions directly through their profiles. Now, users can check balances from the extension, tip directly from their balances, attach messages to transactions and top up their accounts by sending bitcoin from an on-chain wallet.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement claims that \u201cnow it\u2019s even easier to tip people\u201d and is offering an added bonus of 1,000 satoshis to new users who sign up within a limited time. Veteran users who refer new users to the platform will also receive 500 satoshis for each new customer they attract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lightning Network app Tippin.me has released a version update to add new features, improve user experience and increase the user base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2545,"featured_media":20050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[681,460,1659,2339,682],"class_list":{"0":"post-20049","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technical","8":"tag-jack-dorsey","9":"tag-lightning-network","10":"tag-micropayments","11":"tag-tippin-me","12":"tag-twitter"},"author_data":{"id":2545,"name":"Landon Manning","nicename":"landon-manning","avatar_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/img_2749-96x96.jpg"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tippin-enters-version-10.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2545"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
