Tipping a developer

As well as rewarding a developer for a successful solve, an organisation may wish to show its appreciation to others for their contributions to a Quest (for example, for providing partial solutions or other guidance).

In order to support this, we provide a tip functionality.

Tips are freeform (mini) rewards that can be issued to any user at any time during a Quest. All tips are assumed to be a USD amount of tip_value directed to a specific GitHub user using a command in the format:

@quest-bot tip @{username} {tip_value}

Note there is no currency symbol used in the above command. For now, all integer values are taken as USD by default.

Note that this feature is not available via the Admin dashboard.
