Brave does not track anyone remotely, all data in the clear (which browsers all keep in various caches and history lists) stays on device. We will pay publishers 55% directly, and users 15%.
I think you didn't read our FAQ or other site docs, and just assumed the worst. Why is that?
- AlexTes 11y agoIgnoring the negativity and taking it as an opportunity to improve your product and / or understanding of a segment of your audience.. I'll remember that!
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoI did read the FAQ. It's awful. I didn't realize just how awful it was until I read the FAQ. How do you pay publishers on sites that aren't partnered with you?
- BrendanEich 11y agoFrom the FAQ: 8. How do you use Bitcoin (BTC)? We’re still developing the system, now entirely in the open source on github.com, but at this point we know we will use BTC only for permissionless payment delivery to user and publisher wallets that we will create using BitGo’s APIs. We hope to keep funds in BTC only in monthly payment buffers, to reduce effects of volatility. We intend to let expert users “bring their own BTC” to self-fund their wallets and auto-micropay for as much of their browsing as they like. See also https://www.brave.com/blogpost_2.html https://www.brave.com/blogpost_2.html which discusses user and publisher wallets. We'll have more in a week or two on the Brave Ledger payment system.
