Been testing out Garnet for roughly the last week, and oh boy, XMR tipping is such a good feeling! Even though I've got my lightning wallet hooked up as well, I've just completely stopped using it. Why give BTC, when you can give XMR?

Now obviously using a mainchain comes with some tradeoffs, but those essentially got fixed in the last update of Garnet, since you can now use external wallets for tipping. On the Monero chain it takes roughly 20 minutes for a transaction to be fully confirmed and thus you can't send another transaction for those 20 minutes. So with the one built-in wallet for Garnet, that was one tip per 20 minutes. But now that I can use my external wallet, where I have a bunch of sub addresses, I can pretty much tip non-stop.

For those waiting before trying something so new, I can report that I've had a bug-free experience thus far (I'm sure now that I've said that something will happen!), it just works like Amethyst.

And also I haven't really seen this discussed, but my tipical Monero tip has been 0.001, which is about $0.16, which seems enough for a micro transaction.

If you want to try it out here's where to get the apk: https://github.com/retrnull/garnet/releases
