Interesting! Do you think this risks diluting your brand?
If it's less "Tip A Dev you like", and more "Pay some guy", it falls into a much more generic payments category..?

The next big feature is non-U.S. payouts. That's becoming a critical problem, because it means that Gittip is stuck holding money that belongs to other people. My goal is to solve that in the coming months, and then we'll be in a much better position to aggressively pursue growth. Where to focus those efforts in terms of communities will be part of the discussion.

We'll reopen the name discussion when either GitHub or Oprah complains.
