Have any of you signed up for the service yet? It looks quite slick. I've tipped a couple of people as well as verified my own website so that I can claim tips that people leave for me. The really neat thing (as the ERE post mentions) is that you don't have to sign up for people to start tipping you. All the tips for a site are logged until you claim them as the site owner (via meta tags or file upload). It's a great way to overcome the initial adopter problem WRT getting people to accept your payment method. So website owners don't need to install anything in order to accept tips. I'm interested to see if this catches on. It's really great from both a concept and implementation perspective.
