See below

I have 9800 bat it's a mid size bag for me, feels good. I might bump it up before coinbase listing

You need about 40k more to make it.

THis is my second biggest holding, incredibly exciting to see where the future is in this coin, this coin is going to be huge, thebrowser has over 5 million downloads on coinbase along and the team has over 100 eth to build the nextwork more, an it may be natievly inergrated into mozilla, thats an instant 80 million users

This goes beyond just the Brave browser. They are literally shifting the entire online advertising paradigm. One of the few actually legit, straightforward real world uses of crypto right here. This token will be blowing dicks off in a year or two. Top 10 is an understatement. Mark my words.

i dont understand how brave "tokens" are even necessary. can someone explain? i know about the browser. but why would people buy bat tokens to use? like is it to disable ads or to give to their favorite youtubers? cuz thats stupid and isnt going to work

Downloaded the browser and tried it out. Fast and lots of control in the user's hands. The browser has BAT Payments in beta form right now though. Eventually you will need to comply with KYC measures so any BAT you earn can then be sent out.
I'm 100% certain this will be listed on Coinbase. I also think Coinbase may list more than one.

Nice discord shills

I remember this coin, i don't believe in the idea so I wont buy, good luck though.

BAT has to be purchased by advertisers to advertise on the brave browser or future browser extensions. People who use the browser can choose if they want to block brave ads or not. If they don't block ads they will be rewarded with BAT. This can then be used to donate to their favorite sites or to purchase premium content or cash out entirely. You can also buy BAT to donate similar to patreon.

In short brave/bat is an advertisement platform that rewards you for your data while keeping your data private.

The system is much much more complicated than this. A lot of people will tell you google can kill this project, but they don't understand brave is a parasite thats able to feed off google and even amazon. They don't understand the full scope of this project.

And guess who is going to be one of their main advertisements....coinbase, the venue they will market for a Fiat exchange....this blowing up is an understatement

Fine - I'll accept the upside, but in order for this to be investable I need to know how this browser is going to get into the hands of many people fast. What incentive does a major browser have (ie Mozilla, Opera, Safari, etc since Chrome/IE won't touch you) with implementing this BAT browser shit? Do they make money too? If they don't, they won't do it. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Google pays large browsers to set things like their default search engine to use Google - if any browser even thought of doing this, why wouldn't Google interfere? This is their #1 source of profit we're talking about.

daddy eich has foreseen it.

Gee I wonder if one of the founders of Mozilla will be able to integrate brave with Mozilla

What incentive does Mozilla have to implement this? Unless he unilaterally controls Mozilla, why would they turn down shitloads of money to go with BAT?

Hold up broseph, advertisers will PAY YOU to watch THEIR ADS? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Only someone dumb enough to buy a "cryptocurrency" would believe such a fantasy. BAT was dreamt up by an obese homophobe as a sick revenge fantasy after the media took him to task over his opposition to marriage equality. He wants to cut of the media's source of revenue which is their advertisers. It's so blatantly obvious. And don't tell me Eich was some genius, he didn't do a trillionth of the work that went in to making Mozilla as powerful as it is today. If you buy BAT, you are gullible as fuck.

They won't be soon. Basically everything dApps like this use tokens for will be able to be done more securely and more efficiently using some kind of smart contract blockchain+Oracle infrastructure. As in, something like ETH+ChainLink. Basically BATboys are hoping they will become relevant before technological progress makes them irrelevant.

You're not using brave on mobile?

I'm not. Is it impressive? Faster? I'll test it if it's promising, but it won't really alleviate my concern that there won't be enough interest outside of the crypto community.

It really is the best mobile browser

Alright that's definitely a mark in the plus column, but it doesn't help us flesh out a roadmap to wide release.

I'm so close guys, just give me a good reason Mozilla would implement this into Firefox and I'll blow my load right along with you.

Browsers don't need to integrate BAT, because BAT is integrating the browsers my dude. Eich's already confirmed that extensions are being made for chrome, firefox, and even safari as we speak. They should be seeing the light of day very soon, just as soon as the as ecosystem starts up, actually.

So this is a crypto version of those sites where you watch ads for money... no thanks. I’m selling once this goes on coinbase.
Although it would be fun to write a script that pretends to browse the web all day, or something that runs outside the browser to block ads.

it's more than that, a lot more in fact. If you wanna be negative about it then go ahead, but I think everyone's dumping their bags on the CB listing to secure those juicy profits anyways. I kinda hope you'll buy back in when it consolidates after for further gains, but hey you do you.

But the downstream issues remain - once the plugins for Firefox/Chrome are written, what's the incentive for people to use it? And what prevents people from just writing bots to manipulate the system?

Except when you view someone's content, like a twitch streamer, or a youtuber... they get a cut of the add money directly. And you don't have to sit and watch ads, you can pick what you want to be allowed, and watch content you want to watch. So it's really nothing like those sites at all

lmao advertiser care about their ROI. Facebook and Google are increasingly becoming more competitive and expensive.

I don't expect a reddit faggot to understand this though.

BAT is a joke project used to market the brave browser. It is a brilliant marketing move by Brave, but it is laughable to thing that this would ever get mainstream usage.

There will be KYC/AML systems, and machine learning systems in place that will make it way too painful for people to cheat the system. Those bums will need to get a real job.

The plugins just extend the system into another browser. Advertisers will still need BAT.

No I mean why would anyone install the plugin once it's complete? The whole point of going with Firefox is because it already has a userbase of tens of millions - this doesn't. How are tens of millions of people going to find, install and use this? What's their incentive to do this over, say, using Chrome?

No. The browser monitors your search queries, page duration, whether you are above or below the fold on a page, time spent on page, recent search history, favorite pages etc then matches a relevant ad. This is a premium ad model. Ford would spend millions on ads that bring customers into a dealership to take a test drive. This is the goal. 5-10 premium ads delivered at the right time each day rather than hundreds of ads that are irrelevant.

Does chrome pay you for your advertising data? Does firefox pay you for your advertising data? Do you want milk with your cereal or do you want milk with your cereal and $10 a month?

I honestly couldn't even care less, I have so much faith in the project. If you can't tell that this is a sleeping giant you're never going to make it.

I used to like BAT until they gave me 5 dollars worth for free to try out. Holy shit what a shitshow.

It gives money away to any website you visit automatically, you have no control over it of any kind. If you visit a feminist website to stock up on hatred fuel you just gave those biocunts money.

You arent even allowed to sell your stack of BAT for something else, its trapped in your account. If you dont use it in 6 months it reverts back to whoever made this shitcoin.

You cant manually give it to someone either. Like if you wanted to support a specific person on patreon or youtube or something you cant do that. You would have to refresh their page like 2000 times or something retarded.

Not to mention it only works with the Brave browser. Thats like cruel and unusual punishment by itself. Brave is awful. Just the absolute worst. Worse than Safari and thats saying something. Go try it, you will see what im talking about in the first 5 minutes.

It does if I visit one of those sites that pay me to watch ads. I do not visit those sites.

>blah blah blah ima a brainlet

Thanks, user.

Kek is this true? I visit a lot of libtard sites for meme creations, i definitely don’t want to give them any money.

you do realize you can delete sites off your payments page as well as change the percentage each site gets. If i spend 50% of my time on Jow Forums i can adjust the payouts where 90% of the bat goes to Jow Forums and the rest goes to a couple of other select sites or even none at all. The free bat they gave you was an incentive for people who support content creators. It wasnt for people who wanted $5. They will be doing other giveaway in the future as well which will probably have similar rules. They are trying to grow their ecosystem.

Nice FUD. You can literally pin a site in and manually set what percentage they receive a month.

Ad fraud is a huge problem and I say this as a person that has benefited greatly from ad fraud. You won't believe me (really why would you?), but if an idiot like me can write an app that leverages the flaws in the current advertising model to save up a down payment on a new home in a year, the current system is clearly broken and unsustainable.

BAT is the best solution i've seen thus far to fix the current broken system, and I intend to be on this rocketship before it heads to the moon.

This shit never made any sense to me. Why would I want to install this over an adblocker and be done with it? So they are going to pay me a couple bucks to watch ads? Sounds like shit poor Indians already do but in crypto form. Not to mention Google would crush this if it really hurt their revenue. Those of you who say hurr durr but its a parasite have no idea how much control Google has over everything.

Literal fucking brainlet.

Also google cant just crush brave. Google cannot block ads without pissing off shareholders. Google also has to maintain its lead as top browser, they cannot fall behind in development. Brave can just ride their open source code. They can sleep in googles house, eat their lunch, and fuck their wife.

"hur dur googles so big they can do anything"

>failed with yahoo answers clone
>failed with a social network
>failed with a video search

big companies can't easily pivot, and they don't always remain giants. IE used to be the dominant web browser after netscape.

In all your infinite wisdom, I want you to tell me what benefit you would have using chrome over brave v1.0. Keep in mind brave v1.0 will be a chrome clone with brave ads, tor tabs, and it will block ads,trackers, and do https upgrades by default.

Anti-trust laws will prevent Google from doing this.

>google can't do shit to stop Brave
>meanwhile every other browser had its shit pushed in for the past 7 years by Chrome

Let me tell you retards something. There are these metrics called CAC (customer aquistion cost), CPI (cost per install), ROAS (return on ad spend) and ROI (return on investment). Most of these KPIs become very important when you try to penetrate a market. When you go against a monopoly like Google, that has billions laying around, they will push your costs through the roof and wage an attrition war on you. For every 1$ BAT will spend to earn a new user, Google will spend 10$, forcing BAT to do the same.
>but muh organic growth
yeah, not gonna happen. Organic growth will maybe give Brave something like 1-3% marketshare. Anything after that, they have to spend money to grow their user base. The moment they do that, you'll see why you don't go against a monopoly and win.

I'm aware most of you are tech neckbeards slaving away for mr. Noseberg and you don't know shit about what it means to grow a business, but do some fucking research before talking shit around here and pretending your shitcoin and your glorified ad blocker has any chance of beating Google.

lmao at your KPI's dictating whether or not a market is penetrable. The chrome browser is a fucking COMMODITY. Theres nothing special about chrome,firefox,edge, or safari. They are like cotton. Brave is like polyester. Two different products

cool mental gymnastics. I'm sure it will all work out great eventually. Good luck with your shitcoin.

whoa, it only took you 2 posts to go full ad hominem. Did they teach you that at the Retards School for Debate?
Besides my accomplishments, what else would you like to talk about in relation to BAT? Let me guess, my face is a bit asymmetrical, which means BAT will become a great success.

Anyway, not gonna waste my time "debating" with intellectual subhumans. Eat shit and keep holding, moron.

everybody is already on chrome numbnuts. the point is to siphon users.
as soon as GOOG starts spending $10/chrome user on retention they just gave Brave a $10BB valuation before the multiple. it's game over at that point already genius
billions don't ensure your browser position as MSFT clearly indicates

Funny you should say that since I went and set mine to give all of my BAT to James Allsup.

This can all be exploited by a bot, unless they have you fill out captchas every once in awhile which is dumb. People don’t deserve money to see ads, ads are intrusive by nature. Corporations are already investing in viral, subliminal, and guerrilla marketing anyways.

Is that new? I never found that option and I was looking for it. I got my free BAT 6 months ago.

>homophobe
thanks just bought 100k

>Can I refund money that I've placed into my Brave BAT wallet?
Not yet. The Brave BAT wallet is currently unidirectional, and its sole purpose is to anonymously and securely contribute to publishers of websites of your choosing. In the future, the Brave wallet will give users the option of going through a “Know Your Customer” (KYC) process in order to gain full control over their BAT wallet, including the ability to transfer BAT out of the wallet.

Oh you fucking cocksuckers. Eat shit and die. Your money is absolutely trapped in there.

>Where does my contribution go if a publisher/website is not part of this program yet?
>When there is about $100.00 USD in BAT for a specific publisher, from all contributors, Brave makes three attempts to complete the publisher verification process. We will hold unclaimed funds for a minimum of 90 days, after which it will be added to the UGP (User Growth Pool).

So it forces randos to sign up with their shitcoin. Im sure thats going to go over well.

Ok this is dramatically improved from what it was like 6 months ago. This is still a lot of effort to go to just to make sure evil people arent receiving funding.

I still dont see how this is better than an adblocker. Also im still being forced to use the brave browser until those addons come out.
