Enable bits to be used to purchase subscriptions for channels.

Give discount on channel subscription cost, based on bits purchased or bits in stock.

Would save twitch money on payment/card processing fees per subscription as money already with twitch.

Would encourage more people to sub to channels to get good discount worth the % fees paid to get bits.

Subscribing to XX channels based on % would give cover any % payed to get the bits, this would encourage use of bits, and give discounts to those that supported more channels with subscriptions, and more usage of bits.

Would save money for Twitch, less payment processing fees and save money for the viewer if they subscribe to multi channels, also only pay one local tax per transaction for bits, usually you would have to pay that tax on each subscription if from certain areas.

Free bits randomly depending on the daily stream time in the last 30 days.

-Range 1: Minimum 2 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 10 to 100 random bits for viewers.

-Range 2: Minimum 4 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 50 to 500 random bits for viewers.

-Range 3: Minimum 6 hours of stream per day, you could get up to 100 to 1000 random bits for viewers.

(Bit amounts may vary, I just put those amounts as an example)

Only one person who is writing in the chat will receive random bits, if this person does not send the bits to the sending streamer in a period of 1 hour, these bits will disappear, this will completely avoid the botting bugs, it will motivate the smaller streamers to stremear more hours and will certainly make the platform grow much more.

This system is much better than getting bits watching ads, because it lends a lot to mass farming, bots, etc.

hm.. i don't know if this is the right place to post it, but considering it involves bits and channel points, i will post it here.

basically, i want to redeem all of my various accumulated channel points to bits, and support my favorite streamers with them. I'm not against buying bits, but i'm not really going to buy any. and since i'm not american, the 'watch ads for bits' option is.. kinda defunct and useless to me

of course, there needs to be some balance to not just give out all the bits to the people with a lot of channel points across many streamers, but.. you introduced the channel points, you should make them less useless..

As a Twitch streamer, I believe these can be improved to make bits a more fun and rewarding options for viewers:

1. Up to 5 Animated emotes as an option for bit emote rewards that streamers can put in any slot.
2. Allow streamers to give their bot access to using bit emotes. Currently, partnered streamers can give permanent tier 3 subs to bots, but this doesn't give the bot access to bit emotes.
3. Currently, bit badges go up to 5 million. It should go higher.
4. Expand the current channel points system to include redemptions with bits

I think these improvements would encourage many more people to use bits!

My idea to stop fraudulent bits and their impact on streamers is twofold: 1) Create a system or process that listens and supports streamers impacted by the complete removal of cheering for channels triggered by fraudulent bit donations. 2) Emphasize assessing security behind the bit donating process/software rather than punishing streamers who have received these bits from users taking advantage of this obviously weak security flaw.

Fraudulent bits are obviously a large problem for Twitch as a business; however, more importantly, these faux donations are a larger problem for streamers: the financial backbone and foundation of Twitch.

Currently, Twitch has an unclear and nonexistent communication process for streamers who have unknowingly received fraudulent bits and have, therefore, had this gifting option completely wiped from affected channels. Viewers can no longer financially support streamers who have been impacted this way. Streamers can no longer receive a substantial portion of their income. And finally, Twitch is negatively affected by this. If Twitch has no clear system on how to help these specific streamers, then they lose a large part of what makes communities so vital: camaraderie. Listen to streamers, strengthen communities, grow Twitch. That's all.
