Brave Browser announces the BAT "Rewards" function
On Tuesday, Brave Browser, an encrypted Internet app directed by Mozilla Firefox founder Brendan Eich, made a surprising announcement, apparently aimed at starting 2019 with a proverbial bang. Through the distribution of a company, transmitted through its internal blog, the team Brave and Basic Attention Token (BAT), composed by Eich, together with a series of fintech, Silicon Valley and veterans of the crypt, revealed that it would in anticipation "opt-in ads [the] desktop browser development channel. "
While this function seems nebulous, there is more to this integration than it seems. In fact, as described in an article in a PC magazine, this new advertising model will allow Joes and Jill municipalities to earn crypts, in the form of BAT, and potentially other prizes in the function.
This new offering, dubbed Brave Rewards, will reduce 70% of advertising revenue earned to users who agree to view advertisements. The remaining 30% will be paid to the Brave war chest – a game that is probably controversial, but necessary for the long-term survival of the blockchain project. Prizes will be available through Brave's developer / test browser edition. It was not disclosed exactly when the innovative feature would hit public desktops, but the following GIF is the way the function will work:
Looking to the outside, the Brave team has revealed that they expect users opted to earn from $ 60 to $ 70 in the near future, with preliminary projections predicting that by 2020 they could earn $ 224 per year through the internal ecosystem of Brave.
While this sounds great – an effective $ 224 / year free for displaying ads – like all things too good to be true, there's a problem. At the time of writing this book, Brave announced support for the withdrawal of BAT tokens, as the company wants Rewards users to reward their favorite content creators, whether they are big new portals or youtuber.
After this feature has been successfully published, Brave intends to activate "publishers integrated by publishers", which will allow content creators to place "private ads" on the pages of content creators through boot systems. The company subsequently illustrated its Brave Ads offering and its applications / advantages from a top-down perspective, writing:
With Brave Ads, we are reforming an online advertising system that has become invasive and unusable. Users have turned to ad blockers to reclaim their privacy from ads that monitor and sometimes infect them, and publishers find it increasingly difficult to earn advertising revenue to support quality content with intermediaries that collect huge commissions.
It is important to reiterate that at this time, this new feature is technically in its beta phase.
Because of this positive news, the popular altcoin, which has recently received support from the powerful Coinbase industry, has seen a significant price increase. At the time of writing this document, BAT is currently valued at $ 0.125 each, with a 3% increase in the last 24 hours. The crypto, currently in 36th place in the ranking of this market, is currently exceeding the Bitcoin (BTC) of 2.7%, and Ethereum (ETH) of 2.4%.
Crypto Lulls: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Post barely any movement
In the same way as for cryptocurrency prices, the broader market has recorded near zero movements in the last 24 hours. According to data from Coin Price Watch, BTC was at $ 3,645 – a gain of 0.58% over the last day. Other key encryption activities also recorded slight gains, but they nonetheless underperformed the BAT.
XRP, the fintech upstart go-to resource for Ripple, is up 1.27%, as it is just under the $ 0.33 to $ 0.3296 level. ETH, which recently fell due to the delayed fork of Constantinople, found itself up 2%, recovering some of the losses suffered yesterday.
While the market is slightly positive, some analysts expect BTC to be ready for immersion. Speaking with MarketWatch, Cracked Market's Jani Ziedens said that BTC, if really oversold, should record huge gains right now, rather than being in a prolonged pause. Thus, Ziedens added that this "lethargic basis" indicates that the demand is limited, "incredibly weak" also, and as such, the lower cryptographic funds may be coming in.
