A browser called Brave will pay BTC for its ads...

http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/01/brave-will-pay-you-in-bitcoins-for-browsing-the-web/ (http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/01/brave-will-pay-you-in-bitcoins-for-browsing-the-web/)

They will pay bitcoins for watching adds? That is already implemented in the existing browsers by the third party services.I'm unable to open the link ,SSL error.

I can open the link... By the way, could you tell us what are the 3rd party add-ons?..

This is kinda nice I guess I will probably never use it. I rarely get the energy to bother installing another browser so I stay with the first one I download. But this is very nice for those people who stay on their computer all day.

Instead of Adblock you get more ads? Or can I use this with Adblock, so I only see advertisements that I earn from?

It depends bit on what the payment will be when you use there browser. Also usability is really important if it's worth to use it instead of another browser you use nowadays.

The link work for me . did you try this services and get payment from it
Thanks

Soo this is basical an page with several ads that we must pay to dont see them,dont get the concept at all and if not pay we will get a % from the incoming ads ,looks a bit insane its it running how we know potencial earnings here did anyone tested this?

Sounds interesting.is this browser available for mobile as well?Do they pay instantly or is there any payout threshold

About the withdraw, I think it's a bit complicated. Look at this!

Sounds good. But how can use red get paid? There isn't an option to get paid. Will watch this project in the future for more updates about payment. Thanks for this.

I just downloaded and installed the browser, and I actually using it right now. This browser has a nice design, and it's pretty fast to load a page but also still a little bit buggy. And I don't really understand about the "earn Bitcoin with this browser" thing, they called it Ad Replacement btw.

So do you not actually get money from viewing their ads or does it just replace them with other different ads. I'm missing the point i guess

I'm keeping an eye on this one. The concept is simple and amazing, but it's success will depend on the browser usability and size of the payments
when it gets implemented. When they make it so, i'll try it out, but i'm still scared of possible exploits in the early days..

"Soon, micropayments and better ads will give users and publishers a better deal." - judging by this i don't think payments are implemented, but
it does claim to replace the ads with their own, so there's no "more" ads, just different ones.

I'm not sure what is so new about this idea, there are a lot of systems that pay you for watching ads, and having a browser that does that isn't something too special.

I guess if I really am bored and want to earn half a penny I can do this, but it doesn't seem like it's worth anything for now, to me anyways.

looks like it need us to provide our identity to cashout the bitcoin from the system, i personally not comfort with the kyc or input our identity to the internet, anyways i ever try some kind of service like this but it paid me through paypal,

Is any one have payment from this system because I am new and looking for some good way of earning right now using some faucets but these are not good enough any good information could be appreciated

There are already pay to see ads site, with the advantage that I can use any browser to see them

Same problem !!.. Didn't know.. How can i earn #Bitcoin?!!

Interesting concept for the AdBlock age, we all want free content also ad free, publisher still have to make a living.

The KYC is a bit strange, maybe also for prevent system abuse...


Not yet implemented.

There is an increasing number of options around the internet to get some additional bitcoins (actually satoshis!) But the time required to generate some few satoshis and achieve the minimum payment (even several weeks), makes it very inconvenient most of those options.

This sounds really good! I'll probably use this browser once it starts paying out. Can't wait!



It's just phone + email. Use a random number and a temporary email. Or a separate phone number + email.

It's seems very interesting even though they require users to have their own brave wallet in order to receive anything and also to identify ourselves with an email and number (which is fine I suppose as long as they don't send spam emails). The only thing I didn't like was, their percentage of choice for users as 15% only is given to us (if I understood it correctly).

The Brave browser will substitute the ads on the webpages with their own ads and will pay you money to watch these instead I find this very funny  ;D The KYC requirements are not bad at all verifying an email address and a phone number is actually a lot less demanding than uploading an ID card for example. I am going to try out the browser myself it sounds very interesting.

"Soon, micropayments and better ads will give
users and publishers a better deal."
As I understand, is not it make sense to install now?

I found this chrome\opera\firefox extension. Has anyone tried it?

Since there already were built extensions that can steal bitcoin, please be careful what you install and where you install it.

I tried to download the browser. I just want to know how it's pay bitcoins for browser. but I can't able to download it. it is requiring .net framework although I already have installed microsoft .net framework..
it would be a great thing for bitcoin users and net surfers.

It is integrated solution which enables you to do this right away without hassle escrows, 3rd services etc.
BTW Can you post some link of the services which pay you in btc for watching ads?

From what I can see, this is like ad-blocker like system? It detects ads, removes them, and then swaps them in for ads that you get paid for looking at? Smart idea.

Sounds interesting, how does it pay?

probably not worth it, do not expect more than 1k satoshi per day, if you're lucky, usually those kind of earning are on par if not worse than the best faucet out there

Agree that this is a very interesting project even though the concept is not new. As a website owner, I do really hope that they will only replace advertisements that is unsafe and bad with their own. My site BitRevenues is a revenue sharing site and it could not live without any advertisement revenue.

However, I support this project since this project pay out in Bitcoin is a browser that I wanted. Waiting for more news about this project. :p.

Yeah, probably the earning is not worth mentioning. You have to spend a lot of time for very little payment.

you can't expect more, it's just like faucet and the owner of the browser only earn money from the ads which is pay very little, so it's fair enough for both user and the owner because you will not spent any effort doing anything except watching ads

Its earning will be the same like PTC sites which pay for browsing their ads and websites with ads.

No, you don't have to go to a certain sites. The ads will appear when you're in the browser (on any site you're in), that's how it works.

Adding micro payments to browsers is a good idea, but to force people who use the browser software to reveal their identity before they can get the payment, is a bad idea for the users. At this

stage, that is perceived as a marketing strategy and taking the normal tracking systems like cookies to a whole new level. If you know who the user is, and you know what they browse for, you can

specifically target them with Advertisements and aggressive marketing strategies. They do it to a certain degree now, but they not 100% sure who the user is.  ???

The founder of this kind of browser seems to be trusted as it is from Mozilla, I wonder if anyone has got any payment from this browser as it seems that it is for most platforms, ios/android/pc

You are just speculating, but there is no real way of knowing for sure. The way i understood it is that they will only take 15 % of the ad income, while
the rest is going to be distributed amung the users, so the average user's payment is going to be depending on their ad count and revenue.
I wouldn't abandon this just yet, if they get traction, it could mean more than one may think.

That's just worst when you are browsing and an add pops up in front of you...
Even if someone would pay me 0.01 a day, I won't let any advertisement run on my PC or browser because I hate it when anything disturbs my mind while doing some work being focused into it...

it would be a very easy way to earn bitcoin if they pay only for using their browser but I hope that they do not sell the users data to their publishers.
 is there any payment proof for this site ? or they are still new and no one request payment from them ?

I agree with you it could be very annoying those ads flashing from the sides could distract your focus i think its not worth it for an amount like that unless your very desperate for bitcoin that you will take all of the ways to earn bitcoin as much as possible.

yeah you are true, I also agree with you,
and the other thing is that browsers like that provide to your PC a large number of viruses and trojans etc,
and also sometimes that ads load very slowly and it make the page to load slow and in turn waste your time for a few pennies.

I think it's interesting idea since it's additional source of earning away some bitcoins while using browse as usual, but more details about payment rates and withdraw have to be submitted so we can decide if it's worth a try

Has anyone tried this succesfully?

I think the Brave browser is still in development I downloaded the latest version but apparently the micropayment infrastructure is not added yet. I wouldn't recommend using Brave as a primary browser at the moment because it's still in alpha phase and may be very unstable.

sounds interesting. I wonder how long it will last

it will depend on the payment strategy

Although it is not as popular a browser, still opting for a paying in bitcoins is a great news for bitcoins.
For the bitcoin User, we need all services and transactions in bitcoins for the growth of bitcoins.
 

I think the ads would act like a normal ads on your browser, just like Google ads. And this browser actually loads page fast

Did they also have bitcoin wallet service? quite confusing.

I'm totally cool with this as long as the ads aren't too intrusive.   It sounds almost like a browser with a built-in faucet.  Alas, I will have to buy a new desktop pc or laptop or something.   I suspect this wouldn't run well on my ancient piece of shit.

so far this browser not come to my range,i mean i dont see people use this browser,but its good idea to make browser integrated with bitcoin,i wish the dev would doing better promotions to this browser.

i think you can using your old bitcoin wallet for withdraw/deposit but i'm not see withdraw button on the browser menu.

Getting money by watching ad it's sound so nice but i think it's not worth it. People need to make bots or other stuff to get money from it.

Yes the big problem is the time taken by the loading heavy ads,
There are a lot of people who will not want to run these heavy ads on their browsers for some small fraction of penny.

And does it work?

well, you could always run something like a virtualbox+bot, but i'm pretty sure that they already think on those things.


dont forget that what is just few pennies for you, could be a decent amount of money for others...either way having more options ( to get few pennies... ) is never a bad thing.

Yeah that's a good thing

If this browser will pay with Bitcoin for showing ads online i think it will be used by good number of the Bitcoin's community worldwide

This is actually a really good idea, I'm even more impressed that it came from a former CEO of Mozilla and that it will be privacy focussed.

It seems to be a good browser, I'll use it if... There's no 'if', I'll use it

Yes the developer of that browser is not an individual or a mini company or group but a big company, and they will try their best to provide their users/customers a reliable a secure product so as to survive with their business for long.

Oh my. :O Do we actually need to pay a monthly fee just to surf in ad-free mode with their browser? If so, I'd rather use my current browser with uBlock installed.

Here's how it works: Previously, the company said it would allow users to either pay to block ads, or get paid to allow ad replacements from Brave's own network. Those ads, chosen by an ad-matching partner, are supposedly faster, safer and load after the publisher's content, not before it like regular third-party ads. For ad-free mode, you'll pay a monthly fee that will be distributed to publishers based on total traffic to each site. Brave's ad network would take a five percent cut of the total amount collected.

When the browser comes out, I will use it if the other functions are similar to Chrome or Firefox.

The browser is already out, but the get paid to watch ads isn't. i wonder how much daily we'll earn from it. i'm guessing something like 1-5 mbtc.

If it is possible to make it in another browser, will it be possible in the future that it will be just a plugin you can install with ff or chrome?

I remember to have seen a thread discussing Brave some times ago, but since no any newer information came, I concluded that is was a dead project but it seems not ! Thta's nice :) ! To people asking how it will work, I think that instead of seeing ads put by advertisment companies on websites, Brave will pay you to see ads that they would have put, and will maybe give a fraction of this to the website owner too. At least that's the way I imagine it !

I read about this and I never saw anyone that shared some experience with them. Its loke no one ever tried this brave browser.
And I don't need to pay for browser without ads. I don't think this project will have some big success.

way to slow to earn not worth it

The article says that the company changed its mind and decided to offer an ad-free browsing experience without the need to pay. At the inverse of you, I think that it will have a big success, because if I can grab a few mBTC a day just to do what I do regularly without more hassle, then why wouldn't I go for it :) ?

But I guess the earnings will be very less by showing ads on that browsers, as google adsense is the biggest ad network of all other and they pay about $0.05 per click.

So from all the reviews from people here on the verdict of using this browser, it is a no?
Not enough incentive to install and use this. It is slow and the withdrawal process is complicated.
Thanks but not thanks if it is going to be a hinder than an advantage to my browsing experience.

is the system like google adsense?
if it is, what a nice idea!
I think it will be the new way to earn bitcoin with low risk. many people may love it IMO.

I am also confused with that, what does he mean? Do they pay only with bitcoin? And do the brave also has introduced a bitcoin wallet? Please explain more to understand better.

Diva master forbidden to post referral links on websites nato.?😇pero by the way, how to play? or how to get to me is that such amount of BTC

Whether the service is only in the application form? or can be opened via pc browser ? because I do not have any android or ios. Thank you

How can we do this? Please guide us on how to earn bitcoin when just installing an ads and earning from it. How much can i earn per hour? or per click ads?

Wow this is so nice, you can earn just browsing the web? And I research about this if this is legit, but theres no article that it says a scam,so  this one is paying. But there are many (including me) who are still confused about this topic and how this will works. Much better if one member here tell their company or team to post here in btctalk because it is related about bitcoin and many will work for them but thats quite difficult to do that .

I guess that link is not for referrals, he is just sharing dude.

Yep they promised that there will be a lot less tracking going on, and you can opt out of the ads platform anytime you like.


Not sure if that function is live now, as far as I remember large publishers are suing Brave for 'replacing publisher ads with their own.'

The problem with this approach is that users will accrue to a very small amount, mere pennies. Now, if people can put themselves price for their views as to the Exchange, then the market would be and it would be fair.

I think it's no problem, they can give the most appropriate pay what was promised. Because sometimes there's also that gives this kind of agreement, but ultimately they commit fraud (not paying). I support those who give something that is good enough for the sake of the progress of the Bitcoin and famous more people about bitcoin

I could not open the link you provided, what must I do to be able to access the link you gave me?

Your system time is probably wrong. Change it to your local time and you will be able to open the website.

I think the idea of paying browser is good but only to newbies. This is a different form of faucet which will pay very very less. Those who want to start with bitcoin, can be beneficial for them. Otherwise it is better to stick to your good old chrome and opera.

As for my knowledge, once you register that link, you just click those ads you've done just watch the ads and how many minutes, after that she enters into account the amount of ads you've watched
