If normies can use steam to play video games they can use metamask or scatter . Sadly anyone who thinks that people wont instal a single app to avoid SJWs is going to get fucked.

I think the problem is how to get the money to them rather than install anything. Installing a program is one thing but they need to buy crypto somehow or pay with their cards through the blockchain.

>There has to be a way though.

Not only is it possible its not even that hard. Every single transaction can include a "tweet" with a link to an IPFS hash for video hosting. IPFS is extremely hard to deal with because anyone in the world can "pin" the content and the cost of a node is relatively cheap.

ETH ALREADY IS PATREON. You literally just need a glorified block explorer and give people a way to see a wallet to donate to. You can use encryption for subscription based content. The simpler the implementation the better.

Normies only need a coinbase account frankly. Also a lot of you are vastly underestimating how disgusting the authoritarian left people are right now. A method to avoid them is definitely going to gain traction. Escaping the stench of account bannings for wrong think alone is enough to force most people to learn new tech.

Yeah no shit.

BAT unironically solves every social media platform monetary support issue you could possibly have.

The only thing stopping BAT is the Rogers adoption / innovation curve. People detest change, especially when it comes to technology.

I know people violently oppose Brave and BAT for many ill-conceived and uninformed reasons, but the more you read about it, the more you realize it solves so many issues you see today on the internet.

You don't actually need a "decentralized" platform. An unregulated platform is more than enough.

It absolutely needs to happen I think. One of the things that is important about it is that it emediatly clears the air of a lot of debate regarding hate speech and regulation or thought policing.

Its simply not possible anymore so why even discuss it anymore. Anyone who does can be told that they missed the memo.

Why the fuck are throwing labels around, sperg?

What I'm trying to do is show you that the alternative to reddit, twitter, facebook etc. is not their decentralized version (in a sense, you already have decentralized content platforms - they are called private websites). Because the platforms gain power from those who are using them. If no one uses your better, decentralized alternative, then it didn't live up to the goal, and even then there is no guarantee that it won't entail the same problems as with the original version.

The only alternative is to twitter, facebook, 4chan is simply NEW twitter, facebook, 4chan that will work under different rules.

My prediction is that its going to turn into a giant debate of child pornography. Its the only amunition that detractors actually have.

Sure, but this wont work on a blockchain. Also people will form opt in groups where they hire moderators to go through content as its posted to tell you what it is before you open it. Delegated moderation is the only metho to moderate on these kinds of systems.

See, it's so hilarious yet sad to see. Look at >>12422917 : this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about when it comes to unfounded opposition to Brave / BAT. People are unable to cope with any sort of change or threat to the status quo. I think it's human nature to become threatened by things you don't understand or things that threaten to change the way things currently are.

I have a tech savy group of friends / family, yet I don't even try to convince them to switch to Brave. I don't dare try to shill them BAT either. Some people are 1) unwilling to even consider change and 2) nowhere near ready to accept cryptocurrencies as a means of change.

There are users on /biz/ (which sadly I consider one of the best crypto resources) that STILL believe Brave / BAT is some sort of illegal scam, and yet they will accept GoogleAds and malvertising trackers as status quo and the way things will always be. They're afraid of change and dislike things that threaten their comfort zone.

We'll know Brave/BAT are succeeding when people like your friends and my friends begin to switch over. I was one of the early adopters of Chrome - I LOVED Chrome and was using it when everyone I knew was still on Mozilla/Internet Explorer. But I have already seen the writing on the wall with Chrome and advertising. There is no possible way for Google to marry the idea of "blocking ads / trackers" with "keep Google Ads profitable." It's not possible. Brave solves all of this (and more, through BAT).

Loads of reasons, I should really write a copy + paste answer for this because it gets asked so often. Honestly I think the number 1 reason is this:

Brave has a huge fund of BAT that it gives away with every update to the browser. Since January 2018 I've received over 200 BAT (~$26) from Brave. That's free BAT given to me for simply using the browser. They could NEVER do this with ETH or BTC. So basically Brave was given a bunch of VC money, and a portion of that went into buying/holding BAT that they're slowly releasing to users in order to get the project running.

The BAT given to users can only be donated, can't be sent to your own wallet. But the point is, the advertiser-producer-user ecosystem never could happen with ETH.

TLDR; if you don't understand why ETH couldn't be used, you don't really understand the Brave project.

So the only advantage you can name is actually a disadvantage.

But just to tie this back to the OP's post, Brave's free BAT is considered a "grant". So basically if you download Brave, you automatically get a "grant" that ranges from like 15-35 BAT (every few months).

If you're a rebuked content producer like Dave Rubin, you solve your censorship issue in a few easy steps through BAT:

1) get your fans/supporters to download/user Brave.
2) become Brave verified (get your KYC shit completed through Uphold so you can cash out your BAT)
3) tell them to donate some BAT to you (or whoever they want to support)
4) collect BAT every month and cash out as needed. Once ads roll around, brave will probably stop with the BAT grants, because users will be "earning" BAT by turning BraveAds on.

Also, the most important thing about this, is this IS NOT vaporware. You can LITERALLY go download Brave and start using BAT TODAY. It's actual, working software and cryptocurrency. You can literally support people online using a cryptocurrency. It's mental how cool it is, and even crazier how many people fucking disdain BAT for stupid reasons.

The BAT grants won't last forever. They're meant to encourage users to actually *use* the cryptocurrency through donations. It's only one use case for BAT, but a good way to get that started is by giving it away to users.

I think what you need to realize is where the buy pressure comes from, which I explain in almost every BAT thread. Buy pressure comes from the advertisers themselves, who buy in FIAT which is used to immediately purchase BAT.

So once grants end ("that's a dump on the market" = over), the buy pressure is introduced (advertisers purchasing ad campaigns through buying BAT). So there you go. What's your next question?

>> No.12423981

>>12423961
So nothing. There is no reason to use bat over eth, and anyone who releases a similar product with eth as the currency will have an advantage by eth's greater liquidity and brand awareness. So bat is shit.

No I've already gone over this, but you keep ignoring my answer. Having their own token allows Brave to give anonymous grants of BAT to every single user of Brave. That wouldn't be possible with Ether, and it's a necessary part of the Brave project.

Imagine granting a user Ether:
1) they're not going to want to donate it (do not pretend like you would donated ETH given to you. You wouldn't. If you tell me you would, you're bullshitting me.)
2) They wouldn't be able to STOP people from transferring ether to their own wallet

With BAT, it encourages the flow of donations/use and allows Brave to keep users from transferring the grant BAT to their own wallets.

Yes I do actually consider the brave browser one of the best entrances to practical mainstream adoption, mostly just because you don't need to convince anybody else to use it for it to have personal utility unlike say cyber commerce or social faggotry. For the BAT token itself it will need some network, but the growing userbase will prime it for that.

It's really a pretty straightforward project that could be high impact, it's interesting to observe and think about. I never actually bought into it though, I tried at ICO and got cucked with the rest of this board, after it instamooned I didn't think there was value for now.

1. They needed funds from the ICO.
2. Why would they shit on early supporters by dropping BAT and switching over to ETH ?
3. A key component to nurturing the Brave/BAT ecosystem is the monthly user grants. This wouldn't be possible with BTC, ETH or other alts

You know, the purpose of the browser/token was to bypass centralized authorities. Otherwise what is the fucking point. I want to like brave, I even have installed it on my phone for the native ad blocker, but until they get rid of that gatekeeping shit I won't even bother switching with my desktop or with the free gibs that you have to donate or lose but oops, nobody fucking accepst bat, though luck hehehe.

Unironically, Skycoin. The ecosystem with Skywire, CXO, and CX, creating a decentralized SDN. This is going to solve alot more than just the censorship issues going on on the traditional internet. Better security, performance, and privacy will make Skywire into a winner regardless of who begins availing themselves of it first. Normies are always the last ones to anything good though, so I'm going to bet that non tech sector and smaller business are the ones who will start using Skywire first. By the time it becomes a thorn in the side of the fascists, it will be too established to dislodge.
