Business model

Brave uses its Basic Attention Token (BAT) to drive revenue.[27] Originally incorporated in Delaware as Hyperware Labs, Inc. in 2015, the company later changed its name to Brave Software, Inc. and registered in California, where it is headquartered.[28]

By August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, Foundation Capital, and the Digital Currency Group.[29]

In November 2019, Brave launched Brave Ads, an ad network. Brave Software takes 30% of the ad revenue and the rest is given back to the users.[30] As consumers browse, they are presented with advertisements.[31

Am I reading that right?

Klaus, have they paid you for looking at ads?

Not yet.

But I notice that our board has an "unverified creator" status. From what I can see, it would be pretty easy to get the "verified" status, and then we could all donate our BATs to TNCR Maybe it's enough to pay for the server

This could be an even bigger money-spinner for me than Bitcoin and TNCR NFT's.

If you want to manage your wallet you have to sign up with one of two providers.

They require phone number, home address, social security number, passport and drivers license

So far I like the browser.

No ads makes weather.com much faster

I set a home page to appear on startup, but I can't find a Home button. Is there a Home button?

EDIT: Yes, there is

Look in Appearance under Settings

Brendan Eich has my vote.

[Klaus]

TNCR now has the "Verified Creator" Badge, so if you use Brave, you can donate all your BAT to TNCR

You should see a little blue checkmark next to the "Brave Rewards" Icon if you are using the forum:

Creepy Amazon


[Copper]

So, these sites will automatically get contributions from me using Brave

Is that right?

Do I have to do anything else?

I trashed cnn so they are excluded


[Klaus]

I haven't really understood yet how their ad thing works.

I haven't earned any BAT yet. Damn. I'm ready to watch an hour of ads just for some BAT!

[Copper]

Estimated earnings 0.010 BAT 0.01 USD

No BAT in the bank yet, but the estimate is that I have earned some.

It should start rolling into TNCR soon.

iOS Rewards Update

In order to comply with recent stipulations made by Apple, Brave users on iPhones and iPads will no longer be able to earn rewards for their attention, and will no longer be able to tip their favorite online creators via Brave. These changes to our Brave Rewards system do not apply to our desktop and Android browsers.

Apple

I'm still not sure how to tell Brave that I want my BATs to go to TNCR

Now up to 0.070 BAT, $0.08 USD

[Copper]

I believe I have it set up to send a 1.oo BAT Tip to
the-new-coffee-room.club every month.

I don't know if I'll have a BAT in my account by then, I have 0.105 BAT at the moment.

Tips are paid during the first week of a month.

How is it more privacy than, for example, Duck Duck Go?

[Copper]

$0.26 USD and growing fast.

That is for looking at 36 ads.

[Copper]

2 weeks later, lots of money headed this way

I have seen 123 ads and have .904 BAT ($0.75 USD) in estimated earnings

The payment date is 2/7, hopefully TNCR will be receiving a 1.000 BAT Tip at that time.

What TNCR NFT’s are there? Aqua’s Sister? I suppose we could make some for GKSRs but those are mostly defunct these days…

Not applicable. Sessions with Aqua's sister are very much fungible.

[Aqua's Sister]

I put the "fun" in fungible.

[George K]

Er, no.

You put the "fungi" in fungible.
