Replying to @PreludioGames and @brave
We don't have logs. Proxy drops IP, no logging. We <3 cryptographic protocols for "can't be evil". A no-IP-logging example, threat model assumes no Brave/GitHub collusion: Brave News's privacy-preserving CDN. We can't see IP, Cloudflare can't see payload. Cc: @fmarier for more.

I had to double-check the books to see if this 1.69M BAT purchase was our largest ever. It isn't (largest is 1.78M from Oct, 2022), but it is the new 2nd largest, unseating a 1.68M BAT purchase made last month. Download Brave, opt-in to Rewards, and start earning $BAT 🙂

Brave purchased 1.689 million $BAT this week! The company distributes BAT to Brave Rewards participants on a monthly basis to compensate them for viewing private ads. See the full list of past Brave-initiated BAT purchases here: brave.com/transparency/

brave.com/transparency is powered by about 640 lines of JavaScript. That's it 🙂 The build script pulls-in ENV credentials for Uphold, Coinbase, and Gemini. We also call out to market APIs to get history of BAT value, and mix it all together in a final transparency.json file 👩‍🍳

Brave's approach of "Can't be evil" is way better than the familiar industry mantra of "Don't be evil." Brave designs its products and services with the explicit goal of precluding potential for abuse. The privacy and security of our users isn't an after-thought—it's our axiom.

If Brave is extra-crashy for you today, go to the New Tab Page and disable the crypto․com widget. This should workaround the issue. There is a known JSON-parsing bug for which we'll soon have an update shipped. Please let me know if this does or does not help.

Unlike Google + Bing, Brave Search doesn’t manipulate its algorithm to bias or down-rank results. However, all search engines have some level of intrinsic bias. Goggles gives you the power to search without these limits. Try Goggles (in beta) today! search.brave.com/goggles/discov

Really proud of the team for doing such a tremendously detailed and tedious job here. In order for Web3 to truly make it, it has to be considerably less intimidating than it has been to date. Brave is doing the work needed to onboard the rest of the World.

The fake "front-running" scammers are quite busy on YouTube and Twitter. Nearly every video shown in the screenshot below is from the past week. This is a subset of that which exists on YouTube. It's trivial to find these; for this set I searched "Paste THIS code in Remix".
