I was always wondering how to go on about sharing a cyber beer with buddies and new friends. Awesome idea. I'll definitely have to pass a couple on.

New to this sub, daily customer at the pub.

I'll get my Bodington's pic going for all those Lagerheads.

So, I ended up getting enough to buy one ad, and I threw $5 of my own in the pool for another to see what happened.

As Salanderson was the first to post on the thread, I figured I'd use his post to /r/beer and see if people were drawn for the prospect of free beer. Click through was 23 people.

I also created a front page ad for the subreddit. I was hoping for /r/bitcoin, but that place has its advertising space sold out until December. Crazy. Anyway, that got us 35 clicks. I also feel foolish as I edited it last second from "the friendliest place on reddit" to "one of the friendliest places" because I didn't want to sound presumptuous... and then forgot to add the final S... so there was a grammatical error mocking me for the whole run of the ad. I hope it didn't make people think we were drunken philistines over here.

All in all, we went from about 22 subscribers to about 33 over that period. Not sure how much we can attribute that increase to the ad campaign, but it seems as though it may have helped.

If you'd like to see more of this going forward, please tip here and I'll make some more ads, or make your own ads to see if we can grow this place a bit. It will take some more people to turn it into a thriving pub.

I'm thinking for the future ads, we'll run a weekly beer giveaway or something, so that when people click through they might win a prize. Sal's idea of best beer related story seems like a good angle to take.

Let me know if anyone has any more ideas.

Not much of activity lately, i bet noone ever get drunk here lol.

... through u/changetip.

That person then posts a picture of the beer you bought them, and uses their next beer money to buy one for someone else, thus creating a perpetually expanding circle of cheerful, mildly drunken, redditors who appreciate the innovation of bitcoin.

I love this idea,looking forward to load up my wallet this weekend and post a photo of my beer here. Mmmm mmmm tasty beverages.

Thanks for the invite. I bought a six pack with me.

It would be a very quiet pub indeed ! No new posts for days, I put a pound in the jukebox and here my selection, Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven: http://youtu.be/BcL---4xQYA at 10 mins you get your moneys worth !

A daddy-daughter date with my baby girl!

She wanted root beer floats, so that's what we got! I was able to get the fancy stuff!

Hey everyone - 5 days in and 22 subscribers as of this posting. Not bad, but not too great, either. Without some increase in our numbers, this initial enthusiasm may run cold, if for nothing else than I believe that we don't have bottomless wallets to keep the tradition moving along.

So, I was thinking that we could raise funds to buy some ad space on Reddit. The smallest increment starts at $5. I am thinking of buying some ad space that advertises on the bitcoin heavy subreddits for now.

If anyone is interested, please tip in this thread. I will use all funds raised for the ad, and if unable to raise enough I will return the tip so you can send it somewhere else.

Edit: first ad is up and running. Lets see how it does. I'm open to fixing my admittedly beginner level advertising skills, for those of you who see the ad.

pint of Stella please and some change for the pool table.

Maybe post your beers bought with bitcoin.

I am loving this idea! Hopefully it takes off! After payday I can fill up my changetip account and join in on the fun! :D

Thanks /u/NoahRiffe for the invite!

Edit: Holy crap! Just passed my first beer along! This is great!

Inspired by this post, we welcome you to our tavern.

This sounds cool! How do I participate?

I'm glad you asked! ... through u/changetip. Next time you are thinking of buying a beer, just hold off and buy one for someone on the internet instead! You can do it here, or better yet anywhere on reddit (but be sure to point them back here to show off their beer!)

That person then posts a picture of the beer you bought them, and because they didn't have to use their own money to buy a beer, uses their next beer money to buy one for someone else, thus creating a perpetually expanding circle of cheerful, mildly drunken, redditors who appreciate the innovation of bitcoin and paying it forward!

I recently stumbled on this subreddit and love it. I would just like to know, what would be your go to drink at a bar?

I like Gulden Draak if it's available. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/48/155/

Hey guys, liked the idea of this sub but I think the problem was a beer is pretty expensive and tipping them soon gets very expensive. Iv made a new sub, the idea being that tipping small is good. Everyone can afford to take part. Pop on over and throw some pennies about! http://www.reddit.com/r/BitTippers/

No new posts or even comments for 20+ days, looks like this pub called last orders. Was a good idea but I think it stumbled because a beer is quite a large tip to dish out regularly to random strangers. Just like the real world the price of a pint is to dam high.

I have been tipped a couple small amounts. I hope this whole tipping thing keeps going! I don't understand people who say bitcoin is dead... how can it be dead when it's the most widely adopted and known about crypto currency? Right now it is THE crypto currency. Some people...

Wondering, hoping to try it
