I think that the way @lens/buttrfly did it is much better. You do not have to do anything, no need to remember enabling tips every time, because why would

I agree that tipping is something that feels like it should be default, and there's too much friction in the way it's implemented in Hey. When you post from @lens/ornaart it's automatically enabled. The only issue with the way Buttrfly does it is that it's not connected to your social graph. It's just a token transfer, unrelated to anything on Lens. This is less interesting from a data perspective and doesn't allow other apps and Open Actions to work in a modular way with the tip. For example: there's no way for a third party to show a tip count or total tip value using Buttrfly's approach. Apps can certainly show a tip button in both cases, but I'd argue that Smart Tipping, which is connected to the social graph and totally gasless, is generally more interesting.
