About this episode
As said previously, Bison Relay has a built-in payment system that allows for peer to peer payments and transmission payments (gas fees). It may seem unusual that a sovereign internet / social media platform would charge usage fees to participate and interact, but this acts as both a privacy and a bad actor prevention mechanism.
Fee and transaction types:
- Tip - This is when you receive a tip from someone
- paytip - is the amount you’ve tipped someone
- posts - total fees paid to list a user's news feed posts
