@Theymos - how about verifying for Brave/BAT? Easy extra revenue.

[pawel7777]

With Brave getting decent traction and couple of big boys (including Wikipedia) signing up recently - it's kind of strange to see BTCTalk not yet being verified as publisher.

The overlap of Brave and BTCTalk users must be pretty big - so there's definitely great potential for extra, non-trivial revenue from tips and auto-contributions. All for the one time effort of verifying.

I understand prevailing anti-altcoin sentiment, but such earnings (in BAT tokens) could be converted to BTC propping its price

I'm sure there are plenty of good ways to spent extra funds ie. on hiring more mods (or for increasing rewards for current ones), fighting spam, or just community contest etc.

Just a suggestion.

Theymos will not risk his personal info to apply the KYC verification just to get those rewards from brave.

[Last of the V8s]

No.
There are lots of reasons why not, I guess this is one people won't pick up on too much:

, but such earnings (in BAT tokens) could be converted to BTC propping its price

Market economics. You are so desperate to pump your kleptocurrency du jour you are willing to defy rationality.
Your stupid bats would be ever less valuable.

He's not anonymous you know, and, to my understanding, he/forum complies with US laws so it's not like he's compromising anything + you don't submit any personal info to verify as publisher. Although you'd need to verify personal or business details with Uphold to withdraw/convert (currently they're the only ones processing payments for brave).

Much bigger entities bothered to do it (recently Wikipedia), and I wouldn't be surprised if BTCTalk had better earning potential.

Brave and their shit token are terrible. I would avoid getting involved with it. This pajeet revenue is unnecessary.
I've never supported their Chromium-based garbage and have been interested in flagging them ever since this garbage system was introduced. No time to look around yet though.

The "privacy" browser demands kyc for publishers to receive their cryptocurrency
I think this incoherence is enough reason for theymos to avoid supporting such project.
And this is a Bitcoin forum. This forum has more than enough bitcoins, there is no reason to risk the forum and theymos' reputation supporting such a project

You do realise that your post has zero substance other than "I don't like it"? BAT being garbage or not is irrelevant to the topic anyway, it has value - that's what matters.

Stop promoting shady shit such as BAT. Anything Chromium based is inherently never going to be as good as non-Google-injected software. He might as well give his parents names and daily routines to Google directly. BAT should have never existed, not the token nor the browser. The alternatives are much better despite being much smaller.

But MUH, you do realise that your post has zero substance? OP is an ignorant wanker hoping to score some cheap-ass merits. Maybe some of those generous-givers that throw merit at low-valued garbage such as Loyce might reward him for this. Theymos has sacrificed enough by introducing that half-arsed garbage called Grin.
Law doesn't excuse ignorance. Maybe flags shouldn't.

Looks like lauda is back from Summer holidays 

@OP

I guess that he dont will be doing the verification for Brave .
Anyway i dont like this browser Brave and dont like the BAT, i tryd it but its for the trash can.

OK? How's that a reason not to accept/sell tokens from the ones who do use it?

You do have some issues don't you? Seriously, take regular breaks from internet sometime. Not even joking.

If I want to be private while browsing on the Internet, I will use Tor Browser as alternative to Brave browser. In fact, I used both of them but stopped using Brave months ago (around the time they asked for KYCs to receive BAT tokens). I agree with you that such the incoherence in their 'slogan' and their development activities and promotions recently are not good for their reputation.

There are still people who do KYCs just to earn BAT tokens from Brave browser and it is easily understandable because there are lots of people use Google Chrome or derivatives from Chrome and Google-related applications without fear of losing personal information.

Yes. Supporting or standing-by evil makes you no better than the evil itself.

Seriously, fuck-off and stop shitposting with your signature elsewhere. This thread is worthless; not that anyone has agreed with you. Only BAT bagholders might come to voice their support, that's about it. Cancer, you and BAT both are.

[pawel7777]

...

Meaning you support of FED/US Gov when accepting US$? Meaning you supported/endorsed every project/person you took BTC from? Is that your honest policy or just bullshit you came up with for the sake of replying because your ego won't let you to let it go?

Don't ask me to fuck-off. Just walk away. It's that easy. Get some fresh air. It's nice.

Non sequitur. Your pathetic excuse of a meat-bag can't even create a single valid argument for your own case.

Royally fuck off. You're an undesirable, just like BAT is. Were it desirable, it would have been added already. Unless thermos really needs the money, he needs to be out of his (flawed) mind to agree with this suggestion. Due to your sig.-based shitposting, I will have to introduce my ad naseum mode on this thread. Maybe The-One-Above-All will support your case.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

I don't get validation from internet forum. I hardly ever post here nowadays and am not in sig campaign. How about you?

[Lauda]

-snip derailment-

Do you have anything to say to support your argument or are you just going to keep going solely off-topic? It's bad enough that you're a sig. spamming shitposter. There have been zero argument supporting this other than 'extra revenue', but were that a sole valid argument for anything then BAT being a choice is really terrible anyway. Just go back to the cave you crawled out of and get a proper job. You can thank me later.

He's not anonymous you know, and, to my understanding, he/forum complies with US laws so it's not like he's compromising anything + you don't submit any personal info to verify as publisher. Although you'd need to verify personal or business details with Uphold to withdraw/convert (currently they're the only ones processing payments for brave).

There's a massive difference between complying with US laws and sending all the details necessary to steal your identity and ruin your life to some dodgy crypto exchange. Uphold demand your name, address, social security number, a picture of your passport and a selfie. Can you vouch for the security they are using to protect this information and documents? Even the biggest exchanges can't be trusted - Binance have been hacked for user's KYC documents, and Coinbase were selling user's details without their knowledge or consent. Why should we trust Uphold?

The forum has at least 1,250 BTC in storage according to this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155000.0. I would be very surprised if theymos risked his identity for the sake of a couple of hundred dollars worth of BAT.

If it isn't already, then BAT will (with a likelihood of 99%) sell all of the data that it has gathered on anyone. It (therefore, also theymos) will be "anonymized" so it will all be fine. Uneducated imbeciles like OP are everywhere.

[NeuroticFish]

I also don't find it so strange. Such a move could be seen as a validation fro BAT. It could also boost BAT (which could be exploited on exchanges).
And what would be the benefit for Bitcointalk? Peanuts? Just compare it with the benefit for BAT.

If by couple hundred you meant 11.50$ than I'm with you  
@OP
Browser itself is nice, everything else is a spit in the face of satoshi and us, anons.
Besides, this clunky token won't disappear over night, it will sit there and wait, as long as it takes.
Someday (hopefully not) in the time of despair, theymos will manage I presume.
