- xfz 5y agoThat's a very energy-inefficient way of rewarding content creators. Given that most users are going to go through Coinbase et al, it's no different from any of the other similar schemes (anyone remember Flatr?) except that you have a volatile wallet and a payment mechanism that somehow manages to be even more expensive than Amex!
- waffle_maniac 5y agoCashing out BAT happens with either Uphold or Gemini. Coinbase isn’t supported. But you don’t have to do that. I earn BAT and donate it to creators. It’s not perfect. Neither are the solutions we have now that don’t compensate users for their attention. Over time it will improve.
