Hive has several "tip tokens" or "engagement tokens". These are tokens where a Hive user can respond to another user's post or comment with a command like !LUV. Then, poof!, an H-E token is gifted to the original poster on the behalf of the person writing the command. It's a free gift, a "tokenized thumbs up", and I think it's a good thing.
Mostly, I believe the mere act of gifting the token is what holds its value. Saying "thank you" or "that's awesome!" or giving a smile to someone is free, yet these actions have real value. Plus, "It's the thought that counts," Mom said. Mom was right.
Still, I'm working on a tool to help answer the following question:
How much is this tip/engagement token that I gave (or received) actually worth numerically?
The working version of the tool can be seen at: http://crrdlx.websavvy.work/hivetiptokens/index.html
This is under construction. Any corrections or suggestions are welcome.
Understand, all the prices are based off of the last trade made. These can vary wildly due to one wild trade. Always be careful and check Hive-Engine token markets for a wider view. Links:

Eventually, I'd like to include the USD value column in real time as well. However, although it's simple math, it's tricky coding. At least it's tricky for me. I'll keeping banging on it, hopefully until it works. That's how I "code". See my coding work-flow illustrated below. :)
