The Dev version is the exact same, as far as I can tell. The only difference is the lion logo is blue instead of red

You have to sign up as one of their creators or whatever it's called. That way you can tip yourself
I considered doing it myself, but the FAQ says they'll be adding a way to withdraw it "soon"

"In the future"
Which likely means "maybe, if we feel like it, someday"
Sorry, mate.
EDIT: They missed an opportunity to call it something like Know Your Shopper. aka KYS

Huh, that's bizarre. Why would KYC be necessary just for using a crypto wallet? There are hundreds or thousands of other wallets out there that don't have that requirement.
How do BAT recipients like Null transfer BAT to an exchange to get fiat, then?

Screw it, I signed up for the publisher programme. Currently having trouble linking Uphold to it though, may need to do their 'full verification' to do it, scan my drivers licence etc.
I'm planning on opening an online store in the future anyway, may as well link it to this when I get around to it.

Theres a separate Creator Rewards dashboard when you sign up as a "creator."
It may be to stop people from manipulating multiple wallets and collecting grants more than once on multiple wallets.

So if I create a wallet with someone like Coinbase (who asked for a scan of my passport) and use it to buy gray market Xanax and support Kiwi Farms, it could potentially tie back to me some day? My anonymity is forever at the mercy of Coinbase's security?
What if I use my Coinbase account to buy BAT and then pay Josh in BAT (and buy my Xanax on the corner like a normal person)? Is that a sufficient cutout?
I'm old. Learning things makes me cranky.

This isn't really an issue with Coinbase so much as it is with the concept of a blockchain in general. A blockchain can be thought of as a public ledger of transactions that anyone can see. It doesn't have names per se in it, but it has addresses in it. For example, the Bitcoin address for Kiwi Farms donations is 1EiZnCKCb6Dc4biuto2gJyivwgPRM2YMEQ. You can use one of many Bitcoin blockchain analyzers to see past transactions and the current balance involving that address. For example, with this particular transaction, we can see that someone that controls the address 19zrjfiL9Xg3U8jK6jnqDuCMoNPwU73vJc sent about .01 bitcoin (about US$53) to the Farms' Bitcoin address.
Now imagine Null is really a Xanax dealer, and the DEA busts him and takes his computers. They analyze it and find that he controls that 1EiZ… address, so they can presume that the person who controls the 19zr… address is a buyer. They might not be able to immediately determine who that person is, but if they, say, find a labeled package of Xanax that hasn't gone out yet and bust the person at the address on the label, they might find that that person has control over the 19zr… address and thus prove that they had sent Null money. They can also look for other Bitcoin addresses that 19zr… has paid, because the people that control them might be dealers too, and so on and so on.
All this is to say that even though cryptocurrencies are commonly used in online contraband sales nowadays, that's not a very smart thing to do, since every transaction in Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies creates an entry in an indelible distributed database that everyone in the world has access to. There are ways to obfuscate a transaction, and some currencies, most prominently Monero (XMR), have obfuscation tech built into them that I won't even pretend to understand the workings of, but as long as they're built on a blockchain or some other sort of distributed database, the info that address X sent Y tokens to address Z will be in there somewhere.
As for Coinbase, if you don't trust its security, you can simply use it to do the USD-to-BTC purchase, and then immediately transfer the Bitcoin to a wallet you directly control.

I'll try this as soon as I figure out how to get the 4chanX plugin's legacy captcha feature to work on Brave (only reason I even bothered to switch to chrome based browsers since the current captcha is impossible to deal with)

Almost all exchanges that allow to you exchange fiat cash for crypto requires KYC, this is a condition of working with the traditional banking system. This is also the mechanism they're probably using to prevent blatant BAT farming from installing the browser over and over.

I installed Brave so that I can contribute to the site while still being a cheap cunt at heart. Thing is, I stream a lot of YouTube videos in the background and that drives my attention rating on the site down to 2% even if I spend all day dicking around here.
I didn't really feel like installing another browser and having it hog more RAM (400MB to run a video at 144p? Fuck outta here) so I installed Smtube, a YouTube search GUI: https://www.smtube.org/
It says you have to install SMPlayer alongside it but just ignore that shit if you'd like. Download it, boot it up, go to Settings, point it to the media player of your choice (that choice is VLC, you mongs), scrub the other options from the list and away you go. Bonus round; if you're just listening you can disable video playback which saves even more RAM (and data, if you've got a cap).
Plox no bully me if there's better options; I'm real delicate.
ETA: the interface is a bit clunky but prior experience with smtube tells me that searches actually return relevant videos in a sensible order without a lot of fucking around with filters so its worth the ugliness. Persevere, farmers!

You can manually remove sites from auto-contribute if you want to limit it to a select few.

Thought about it, but I've got a yen for circuitous solutions with bonus conditions. Sometimes the RAM / bandwidth usage of YT irks me anyways so I figured I'd get two birds stoned at once.

Did anyone else's estimated earning drop overnight? I went from 9 to 3.7, and still nothing in my wallet.

On Reddit, they're saying there is a bug of some kind due to the payout process that caused this. According to the post, you didn't lose anything and it should reflect in your rewards dashboard again sometime this week. It's possible some or most of us won't be receiving a payout this month, but it should all roll into one payment next month.

This happened to me last month. I didn't care because it was just a few BAT and figured it was an issue with the earlier Dev version. This month it's 35+ BAT on the current version. Hope Bush's post is accurate. Interested to see if my tips get paid to my Uphold wallet.

I don't understand how to earn BAT. I currently have 20. I've had 20 for awhile. I have ads enabled everywhere on brave yet it never seems to go up.
