Brave is a privacy-focused browser that aims to prevent its users from being tracked online. That largely means preventing advertisers from tracking you, which disrupts the main way many websites make money. Brave's makers aren't just interested in the privacy side of the equation, however. One of their goals is to fundamentally change the way websites make money, using the BAT (Basic Attention Token) cryptocurrency, based on the Ethereum blockchain. News and information sites like this oneand their readersparticularly stand to benefit from the concept. Will it catch on? It's hard to say, but shifting the power (and some of the money involved) into the hands of users is an attractive idea.
What Is Brave?
Brave, just like Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi, is based on Google's open-source Chromium browser code, so it's compatible, fast, and familiar. It sports some unique features, too: Ad blocking and web tracking protection are built in, its private browsing mode can hide your traffic using Tor, it includes a built-in BitTorrent utility, and it offers a cryptocurrency wallet.
The BAT system will only take off if lots of sites take advantage of what it offers: ad-free content support and letting the users earn by giving their attention to a site's advertisements. Brave claims that over 500,000 content creators and publishers participate in the program. The company also makes a compelling case that most of the ad money on the web is going to Google and Facebook these days, rather than to the actual content publishers.
How Do I Earn Cryptocurrency Using Brave?
The premise is simple: If you endure viewing Brave Ads (which are push notifications, rather than on-page display ads), you can earn a fractional smidge of BAT. Conversely, if you want to get past a site's paywall and view it ad-free, you contribute a bit of BAT to the site.
After using the browser for a couple hours, I found I had earned 7 cents, so while it's not something to quit your day job for, extrapolating that to several hours per day could help stuff your digital piggybnk. In any case, the intention of the cryptocurrency is to fund information sites, rather than to earn you a living. Find out how to set all this up below.
Download and Install the Brave Browser
You get it from Brave.com. Installers are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux (Debian 9+, Ubuntu 14.04+ and Mint 17+ distros). It's a tiny download that in turn downloads and installs the browser software, similar to the way other Chromium browsers do. On the disk, the browser takes up 495MB on installation; not exactly lithe, but Chrome does the same.
Earn Rewards
Enabling rewards is accomplished with a simple click of a button. You're then ready to earn, buy, or spend BAT crypto. You have two basic options to enable or disable: Ads and Auto-Contribute. If you turn on the Ads switch, you will earn BAT by viewing ads on participating sites. If you turn on Auto-Contribute, participating sites you visit will receive BAT you've earned or bought.
Browse and Earn!
Notice the panel on the right of this browser home screen that says, "You're getting paid to view this background image." That's because it's a sponsored image, in this case from BlockFi.com. You'll see your BAT balance on your home page under Brave Rewards. Note that the ads that earn you BAT are not the standard webpage ads; you can still block those with Brave's ad blocker. They also don't track you the way the standard ads do and are less invasive.
Verify Your Wallet (optional)
You can earn and contribute with BAT without signing up for anything. But if you want to cash in your BAT or contribute to your account with funds from other sources, you need to verify your wallet through Uphold, a highly rated digital currency broker. Uphold even offers a debit MC that you can back with crypto.
As with most things online, you start by entering an email and password. Uphold also needs your country and state, in order to comply with local laws. Unfortunately, it's not licensed to trade crypto in New York, though it's in the process of getting approved. To complete the account creation, you need to enter your real name, birth date, and phone number. You also need to snap a photo of your ID and of your face; this sounds intrusive, but it's standard for crypto brokers, and you're not under any compulsion to even create an account.
Hope you enjoy and have fun earning passively!
Another new eye-catching crypto to get ahead on is the Bee Network -
Bee network is a very simple and easy to use app for your iOS/Andriod devices! there are many reasons to get this amazing app. 1.) it's a very simple process, all you have to do is click mine once a day, and that's it! it only takes 10 seconds a day. 2.) it doesn't eat up your battery and doesn't use up RAM. 3.) you can mine while your phone is turned off. 4.)
