Brave browser and BAT
2020, Feb 07
I have long been considering how micropayments could affect ur way of using the internet, and then I read a blog post by Victor Truica about the brave browser.
They seem to have implemented a micropayment system that may allow money to flow to content creator automatically(-ish).
So we are currently testing.
- I have enabled that I want to see adds. In January I earned a whooping 2.6 BAT (around $0.6)
- I have enabled to received payment - among other places - on this blog, which have given me 0 BAT so far
I have also set up to pay $2 per month into the system, as a test to see where it ends up.
- Currently: 52% to duckduckgo, 17% to the register, 7% to brave.com, 5% to darknet diaries and 4% to Victor Truica
We are going to run this for a couple of months and see how it evolves. A curiousity is that darknet diaries has enabled BAT reward, but has not configured a plae to send the money.
I’ll notify Jack Rhysider (since he is doing super cool stuff).
