and you shouldn't click the "about" link at the bottom. (The about link opens a biography of the web designer or someone a user shouldn't care about initially).
First click the taco icon top right which says "US" (I thought it was a locale changer).
Then work your way down the page to the link "Want to Tip? Get started with Lightning Network" (Very small link, right at the bottom).
Then you will see that it's actually what this site is about and the first mention of Twitter.
Apparently author would like someone to buy him a taco more than he would like to show his project. :) ..... or it's a smart way to get money while users are testing out this tipping service.
I hate to break it to you guys but no one comes to hackernews for web design critique. It's much more productive to discuss the actual technology. A solo developer built something pretty cool and interesting and all you care about is the web design?
I don't understand what you mean, are you saying normal electronic bank transfers actually involve someone moving a bag of coins from my bank to Ireland?
I want to congratulate the creator Sergio for building on Bitcoin. Whereas others would create an altcoin, ICO, make a ton of claims and then... nothing comes out of it.
The reason "crypto" (it's really just Bitcoin) stagnated is because nobody was building on existing solid infrastructure. Now with LN leading the way we're going to see mainstream applications being built on BTC.
"The reason "crypto" (it's really just Bitcoin) stagnated is because nobody was building on existing solid infrastructure."
So you know this for a FACT?
Looks like Crypto is not stagnated by any means (price might be suppressed) if you look at the news, it seems crypto as a whole is moving forward at an accelerated pace.

And that button is only clickable with a mouse (because it's a div with an onClick property)
Seriously, what are the advantage of Tippin compare to a service that use real word currencies ? Anonymity ?
I just love the lightning network. Years of development and it still doesn't work.

"It will never work." <-- "It's already in production! You can use it right now!"

Bravo Sergio for leading the way :clap:

Come on. Bitcoin is here. Bitcoin works. Bitcoin is battle tested.
Obviously anyone choosing to altcoin is doing it as a quick-get-rich scheme and not actually trying to build something useful.
