It's a good point. An all you can eat Comic reader is somewhat niche, but I wonder if news isn't a more mainstream market.
Currently, Brave's wallet tries to "boil the ocean", but a more focused vertical seems more tractable.
- BrendanEich 10y agoHi Austin! We are in beta, and not ocean-boiling. Our plan does not require publishers to agree before they start getting revenue shares in escrow. That's part of the plan, because it turns out to be hard to get agreements inked and signed. Even at larger scale (we're growing), getting pubs to agree is not easy or quick. As always when bringing up a new protocol, Metcalfe's Law is a pain. So we decouple and start sending money first. Money always helps. We are talking to publishers from big to small, and we have verified ~120 publishers as domain owners, with 70 already having filed the W-9 or W-8BEN (if overseas) form.
