Rain and snakes.
Tipping one person is just the start. Rain sprinkles your money on the whole room at once, and the snake turns one pot into a game the entire channel plays together. Here is exactly how to run both.
Make it rain
You name a pot, Tippy splits it into up to 10 random sized drops, and the people who are around right now catch them, one drop at a time. It is the fastest way to light up a quiet channel.
$rain 25 php That is the whole setup. Pesos, dollars, cents, rupees and SOL all work.
It posts the rain picture and splits your pot into up to 10 drops of random sizes. They always add up to exactly your pot, not a lamport more or less.
One message per drop, about a second apart: "💧 @Mary caught ₱17.40!" Drops go to members who are online or idle at that moment. Then Tippy calls it: rain over.
$rain 25 php$rain 100 php$rain $5$rain 0.05 SOL$rain
Type bare $rain with no amount and Tippy teaches you the syntax on the spot.
- Drops land on people who are online or idle. Bots never catch rain, and you cannot catch your own.
- If nobody else is around, there is no rain and no charge.
- Rain works in server channels, not in DMs. Rain where your people are.
- It all comes out of your Tippy balance. Low balance? Tippy tells you before anything moves.
💧 @Jose caught ₱6.25!
💧 @Ana caught ₱22.10!

Loose the snake
A snake is a pot that travels. You fund it, it rides with you first, and every person who taps it pockets one bite and takes it along. Keep it moving or it dies, and the whole channel watches it grow.
$snake 10 php The number is the number of bites: a ₱10 pot pays out as ten ₱1 bites. A SOL pot always pays 10 bites.
Tippy posts the snake with a big 🐍 TAP THE SNAKE button. Whoever taps it pockets one bite, and the snake rides with them next. The message updates live: who holds it, bites left, and how long the snake has grown.
Every tap restarts a 30 minute clock. If nobody taps for 30 minutes, the snake dies at the holder's feet and whatever is left in the pot goes back to the person who funded it. When the pot runs dry, the snake has eaten the whole pot and the last crumbs go back too.
$snake 10 php$snake 50 php$snake 0.1 SOL$snake$snake cancel
Bare $snake tells you where the live snake is and who is holding it. $snake cancel calls your own snake home early, pot refunded.
- One ride per person per snake. No double dipping, and the holder cannot tap the snake they are holding.
- Every bite is a real tip out of the funder's pot, so a 10 php snake really pays ₱1 to each of 10 riders.
- The pot is at least 2, in whole numbers for peso and dollar pots.
- One snake per channel at a time. There is a snake loose? Go tap it instead.
Tap the snake to take it: you pocket ₱1 PHP and it rides with you. It's riding with @Dave right now.
If nobody taps for 30 minutes, it dies at the holder's feet 💤
