How do tips, purchases and licensing work?

These are display-only — BSV Search shows the relevant BSV address (with a QR code) so a supporter can pay you directly, peer-to-peer. For Ordinals there is no middleman, no escrow and no fee taken by BSV Search. Amounts and prices are shown in BSV only. "Tips" are a no-strings thank-you; "Purchase" is for personal use; and "Licensing" is for commercial use. Each shows only when the creator has inscribed a BSV Tipping Address on the metadata of their Ordinal upon inscription. 

There are many places where you can inscribe ordinals. The one we use is 3DOrdi.io. You create a 'Collection', and then add a 'Trait' with a label that has the words Tip/Tipping/Tips, Buy/Purchas/Licens, maybe the word 'Address' or 'BSV' then followed by a valid BSV Address. If we are able to detect these Addresses, then we will use them here for that purpose. 

We do not use the Inscriber's BSV Address that paid for the inscribing because the funds they have there could be for many reasons, not a specific reason like tipping, licensing or buying. We also do not tip BSV address on which the ordinal is burnt to avoid risking destroying those ordinals.
