$ (BAT) Basic Attention Token

I've been using Brave for a while and for a few months, I stopped receiving ads.
Out of the blue, they're back up again.
 
Because nothing says building a secure software platform like adding extraneous shit. If Brave is supposed to be a secure and privacy focused browser they should be going out of their way to pare down the number of features and the amount of data going back and forth, not inventing new shit that will be guaranteed a vector for compromises.

Woke up today with 20 bat in my browser wallet, which is strange since I'm from an "ineligible country" for ads and on top of that, this phone has been off for 2 weeks while on vacation. Is this a normal occurrence? The rewards summary just says "token grants claimed"

Yeah. They seem to just give you some each month. I haven't been clicking on any of the ads and still managed to rack up $40 in BAT in a couple of months. Dunno about the ineligible country part though.

You dont need to click the ads. If the popup displays, it's counted. But yeah, I've been receiving more than I earned through ads for the last couple months.

I haven't gotten any pop-ups within the past month or so; on my desktop or laptop. Wonder if I'm just having bad luck or something else.
 
I got like $40 worth of BAT this month, can't complain.
Edit: I wonder what's taking them so long to allow you to verify your mobile browser wallet.

Not bad. Was that just from ads, or referrals as well? Thats quite a lot for just ads.

I'm curious as to what's been pushing the price up. Not complaining, but I kind of expected it to drop considering theyre handing it out like candy, and I expect a lot of people liquidate it as soon as they get it. Anyone know if they do coin burns or something?

@Null is has been driving up the price of BATcoin entirely by himself, probably through some sort of weird furry porn fetish site laundering scheme.

tbh, i'm not really sure whats been driving or holding bat so high.

I'm sure there are people that are holding assloads of BAT hoping its gonna be worth a gorrillion dorrah, but It's use case is essentially to get paid/tipped and then cashed out.

massive adoption should mean stability, but its only gonna get adopted if its useful and not a pain in the ass to use (which is a hurdle they're almost over)

I think bat has a lot of potential due to its normie accessibility, surf the web, see ads, get internet moneys. The only real change is you have to install & use brave instead of Gewgle Crumb/Motzarella furfaugx.

We need Metokur to get over his aversion to crypto; maybe start up a "BATs for Hats" campaign. I imagine if he realized he could have people literally paying him to tweet he might get on board.

The BAT stuff really helps and it's basically battle tested now. It's a lot less than it was when we had Brave Foundation tokens coming in but the ad money is really, really nice.

So am I allowed to tip the farms shekels now? I have 85 tokens in my wallet I don't really intend on using them for anything. Unless there's a way I can convert to USD and withdrawl it so I can buy a game or something. Rather use it for the farms though.

if you sign up @ uphold, you can convert internet shekels into real shekels, but you have to give them bank info/personal info to do so.

Just gibs
 
Fucking whoops!

Random Auto-contribute (even though it was off)

Description of the issue: My brave rewards show an auto-contribute of -10 BAT, which is odd since I have auto-contribute off. There should not have been a reduction in my balance and I would like my 10 BAT to be returned to my wallet. Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3...

TLDR: Brave auto-contributed for multible people even though it was switched off.

So my wallet is now empty and I have no idea where it went. I'm not sure I'm visiting any other BAT enabled websites so I have no idea where it ended up. Hope this gets fixed or this might be a deal breaker for many people.

so recently Brave mobile added BAT support, so I got 20 tokens and donated to Kiwi farms. it’s been really cool but holy fuck it keeps pestering me about joining crypto now.
I love brave though. I still need to get around to downloading it to my desktop
 
Finally getting BAT in my area, do we still donate to KF or is it safer to donate to MATI?
 
Out of curiosity, are there any other BAT wallets? I just had the majority of mine fly out for Auto-Contributes (even though they're off), and I want to horde them all.

ETA: are they broken all of a sudden?! (That's all 'we had trouble processing your contribution's errors, and I still had mine off! )

I wasn't getting all my disbursements credited to my Uphold wallet for a minute; it was "in" my account so I could tip but not on my "card" to be able to transfer to a bank account. Seems this month my entire disbursement was on my card so I can let them rack up and transfer to my account at a later date (I hope). I usually just tip it out to MATI though.
