Looks awesome. Cryptocurrency development has seemed pretty intimidating to me but this is probably the going to be the push that gets me started supporting tip sharing features on my site.

Look into Coinbase's tip service: https://www.coinbase.com/tip

As well as ChangeTip: https://www.changetip.com/

It might be what you're looking for, unless you want to custom build something. In that case also give Chain.com a look as well as Blockcypher.com.

Coinbase also has some nice developer products, their api: coinbase.com/docs/api/overview

and if you want to do anything relating to raw bitcoin data (the blockchain and all transactions) i.e., run a node, I'd recommend Toshi.io, an open-source node that is very easy to query. Quite a few people run this thing on an AWS tier.

Hope that helps if you want to dabble with a bitcoin project for your site :)

Coinbase has easy integration of that does it not?
