Bitcointalk should not endorsed any other crypto than BITCOIN. Stick to Satoshi's vision dude.

I don't think Satoshi would be against supporting other projects that deserved attention but Brave is not one of them. Brave has had some good marketing but its not any better than the other trash inside the altcoin subforum. This forum is called BITCOINtalk.org though and should try to keep primarily to Bitcoin its up to others if they want to make bravetalk.org

Of course satoshi wouldn't be against supporting other projects.  He worked on Namecoin and understood how open source projects work.  Would he want this Bitcoin forum actively integrating other cryptocurrency projects?  Who knows...  The better question might be, does it matter what satoshi wanted?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

does it matter what satoshi wanted? 
Nope not in my opinion. We have long moved on  from Satoshi and although he lay the foundations of the forum and future outlook we have already began to move away. Theymos is the one that is guiding this boat now and all that matters is the decisions he makes.

He wouldn't, but the one mentioned in specific here by OP he sure-as-hell would.

It does not; it isn't even an opinion. Science, not damned religion and authority fallacies.

That might be true but a lot of people get caught up on following "satoshi's vision" like hes some sort of god so its interesting you would mention religion. They seem to forget the short comings that Satoshi had and label him as this all perfect god  being which the fact is he/she/they were just like you and me. I don't think a forum vision has been mentioned in its history and I'm sure we will be seeing different cryptocurrencies mentioned by the administrators of the forum and probably sometimes endorsed by them like Grin.

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 Wink

So, it's all about the money, right?

Theymos already made it clear that the forum doesn't need the extra money, if he would want more funding he could easily start accepting ICO ads for the forum advertising, which he doesn't because :

Quote
[1]: For the purposes of forum ads, an ICO is any token, altcoin, or other altcoin-like thing which meets any of the following criteria: it is primarily run/backed by a company; it is substantially, fundamentally centralized in either operation or coin distribution; or it is not yet possible for two unprivileged users of the system to send coins directly to each other in a P2P way. The intention here is to allow community efforts to advertise things like Litecoin, but not to allow ICO funding, even when the ICO is disguised in various ways.

Where does BAT stand? All over the place!!!

Shitcoin peddling in Meta?

Have the company behind Brave/BAT relocate to someplace more business-friendly so that they may forgo their KYC/AML BS and you'll have won half the battle in the quest of not being outright dismissed.

That looks to be the reason why this post was posted to advertise brave? Because a forum with over 1000 BTC in its reserves is not going to be interested in under $12 in rewards it just does not make sense to suggest this without being involved in the project itself surely?

When the acceptance of Grin was announced for some forum payments it received some backlash despite being a okay project but just think if something like Brave which has a gimmick approach which has everyone excited but lacks any real worthwhile features would be accepted? The backlash would be huge and the "payout" would not be worth it for me to accept but for theymos to accept with the forum reputation on the line is crazy to even suggest.
Lol

As far fetched as the request is  it is a feature request for the forum so belongs in meta.

It wouldn't be so bad idea, if not KYC. I have no idea how much BAT Bitcointalk would be able to make, but probably it wouldn't be worth theymos to sell his personal data for it. We all know theymos views about KYC Smiley. Some people above are saying that Brave is shady company, well I don't know enough about them to avree or disagree. But there is no fire without smoke.
And if theymos would want to make more revenue from Bitcointalk, he simply would add more add slots or increase price of it, add more paid memberships like Copper instead of using third part altcoin project with KYC requirements.

Yes, that's true, someone creates ANN but it's clearly not from BAT team.

@OP
I think, answer from members is enough to you. With current Bitcoin asset from donator, Bitcointalk still can operate for a long time without claiming BAT.

Yes, of course Satoshi would not be against other crypto adoption as he has worked with other developments too when he was active. But IF he was here watching the current altcoin market with scams, ponizs, MLMs eating people's money under the name of digitalizing currency, I am sure he would have denied to support any of this crap.

Can't flag it if it doesn't have an ANN, that's the idea behind it.  Smiley
