$ (BAT) Basic Attention Token

I've given up on earning BAT. Just transferred the 11-odd quid of it I do have into bitcoin, we going to the moon bois, Elon Musk told me so! 🚀🚀🚀

It's been 3 years since a single BAT was over 50 cents. I'd be much better off if I had swung this between .19 and .33 over that time period instead of holding it, but then I'd have missed out on this most-likely temporary pump.

Not sure its temporary. BAT is tied to Ehtereum and Ethereum is up bigly too. It's part of the larger asset bubble. I bought some BAT back when it was 30 cents so it's nice to see, but the general trend with all these cryptos surging like this is worrying.

I'm sitting at $83.41 current after the surge.

For February I ended up earning 7.750 BAT which is the most that I've earned since October of 2020 when I had 7.5 BAT. I also was able to get my payout without any problems on Feb 5th.
 
I am probably going to keep BAT around in the off chance another web browser like firefox adopts it. Or if Brave suddenly really takes off. In my dreams BAT is worth around 10 bucks a token, but in all honesty I think its long term value is around 2 bucks. Whichever it is its undervalued. A system that provides an incentive for users to engage with advertising is not to be sneezed at.

My only complaint with it is that I'm forced to verify my ID with Uphold right off the bat if I want to use the BAT I get for anything, so I can't even move it onto another exchange that I've already been able to use without verifying just yet.

Also in case this wasn't already asked, even if I do set that up, is there an option to "merge" wallets across different devices? Currently I've been using Brave both on desktop and mobile and last I checked there wasn't much in the way of syncing Rewards.

Same here, plus the browser is good, I prefer it over Chrome especially on mobile. Google is continuing it's trajectory of shitting up all it's products, which makes me hopeful that more people will adopt Brave. I would use it even if it didn't have payouts because the ads are so much less intrusive on mobile.
I've generally been an early adopter of whatever browser is the next hot one. I used Firefox and Chrome awhile before they became really popular. I think Brave is going to be the next one. I'm a little biased because I have a lot of BAT but it's a good browser that isn't bloated with bullshit and has many benefits to it even if it didn't pay people.

Is it theoretically possible to make a script to browse Brave and earn BAT in a VM? I have no idea what I'm talking about, sorry.

Who the hell knows where trends go, but Brave passes the "can my mom use it" test. Not only can she use it, she actually prefers it, which is a first for an "alternative" browser.

Unfortunately I don't think that can happen unless Brendan Eich stepped down from the company, which would functionally destroy Brave and turn it into another dangerhair glownigger project. I know a lot of lefties that refuse to use Brave specifically because Brendan Eich exists. Whether we like it or not, Brave is a political topic despite them engaging in no such thing.

I don't have TOO much room to talk since I wont use Firefox for similar reasons, though Mozilla is actively engaged in centralization/censorship politics AND I have actual trust issues with them that go beyond simple distaste of opinions.

I've thought a lot about this but haven't really invested the resources into what it would take to get such a project going. Brave has very (very) basic methods of sniffing out bots, but the Brave staff has stated that they have other ways of "sniffing out bad actors" (their words). Whatever you try, it would probably be advisable to use a different IP address and make sure your device ids come out as different so nothing nukes your main account.

It seems they periodically update their bot detection protocols, and may not be so "basic." All I will say is that automation methods that may have worked in the past are no longer effective. Any currently functional method may require some element of randomization.

Is this just riding on Ether's price spike?

A little bit I am sure but it cant be all of it. If Ethers price is the floor then BAT should be around 30 cents. Not sure what voodoo is going on under the hood, but its approaching a billion dollars in market capitalization.

It probably part of the surge into crypto we are seeing over the last few weeks. All of them are up, not just BAT
