I haven't spoken to a single publisher or fellow content creator who thinks the BAT system works well. Brave could have used BTC or ETH natively, the BAT token itself is useless.https://twitter.com/delitzer/status/1058467897918529541 …
I don't think a lot of people realize this - but as a publisher/creator, you actually can't directly receive BAT into a wallet where you hold the private keys. You are literally *forced* to use a custodial third-party company called Uphold. Brave/BAT is not decentralized at all.
Uphold then in turn forces you to use broken 2FA through SMS/Authy instead of industry standard TOTP and KYC/AMLs you to get access to your funds. In my opinion, the entire Brave/BAT situation is a farce that should be replaced with a Metamask-like Chrome plugin and ETH natively.
is there a handy writeup of this? (or do I have to do one from scratch myself)
There is not, the documentation is really limited... all I could find on their website is this hilarious final FAQ @https://basicattentiontoken.org/faq/#uphold-banking …
Their terms of service might also be a fun read:https://basicattentiontoken.org/publisher-terms-of-service/ …
I have to say, the browser is pretty fast..
Chrome with uBlock Origin is also fast. Brave forked Electron if I remember correctly, so I highly doubt their stack can be faster than Chrome with scripts, ads etc. blocked.
My Chrome sux.. I have a couple exts on it n still bogged down. I'll take a look at uBlock.
If you load the same extensions in Brave, how does the speed compare?
I didn't. It bounces around like new.
So if I watch Crypto Weekly in Brave, who is earning interest on the BAT tokens that you supposedly get rewarded with but don't bother claiming?
Don't use Brave, their definition of "decentralization" is twisted and false. Just install uBlock Origin in Chrome/Firefox and support creators via Patreon or YouTube Premium.
I guess Firefox will still be better than Chrome. Current chrome version has a default login in the browser itself.
@exodus_io wallet holds BAT and you control your own keys. No?
Hey there, 
that is correct! BAT is a fully supported asset in Exodus and you do indeed control your private keys. -PB
Why is that? Isn't it a regular ERC20 token after all?
Exactly.
This will change quickly imho. They had to build groundwork for adoption and ad publishers that dont want to deal with crypto. There is a much bigger game plan here that many, your self included are missing.
Tokens “are done waiting for ETH to bounce back: they’re paving their own bull run.” So says Santiment, a data analytics platform.https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/11/03/tokens-decoupling-from-ethereum-says-santiment-analysis …
