Update: Changes to Award Redemption Options

Every month we give monetary awards to the web publishers who’ve received Tips through TipTheWeb.org. We have made some important changes to our award redemption options which are described in this post.

We made two major changes:

• Added the option to redeem an award by transferring the award amount to your account and use it to fund Tips that you make.
• Lowered the minimum for redeeming an award via PayPal to $10.

Update: Improved GitHub Account & Organization Claiming

We’ve vastly improved the process for claiming a GitHub account and added support for claiming GitHub organization accounts¹. The process for claiming all the tips people make for your GitHub projects and Gists is now just two clicks!

Claiming a GitHub account on TipTheWeb now joins Twitter, Flickr², Vimeo, and YouTube which all use the open standard, OAuth, for a simple and secure account verification process that doesn’t require sharing your passwords with anyone. We’re happy that GitHub has specifically embraced the new OAuth 2.0 standard— which is much easier for developers to work with and made it possible for us to quickly roll-out these new features.

Get Tips for Your GitHub Projects & Gists

Claim your GitHub account; and the tips people make to your projects, gists, and other content you create on GitHub will be directed to your TipTheWeb account.
