So dumbest question ever, why not create your own kiwishekels crypto?

I know very little about crypto but to me it sounds expensive to have the computing possible to do blockchains. I’d also think you’d need enough people on the crypto itself to help sustain the cost and enough people that trust the currency.
 
Dumb question but how do I get more BAT anyway?
I got a starting amount of 20BAT and no add offers or anything that generates more of it, has showed up. I read how it works and it says I can watch adds and get some more

Am I missing something?
Just trying to help as I have several computers I rotate from all day, all updated to brave so....I can have more in theory.
 
I still don't really understand what is going on. I downloaded Brave on my phone last year, before BAT was live. I have two questions:
  1. Is it still not fully live, and therefore the foundation (BF) has control over everyone's BAT?
  2. Is the problem simply a lack of referral BAT + an inability to tip directly from the browser?

I think it does exist, and I think it exists within crypto. Whether it's using BAT via some system of proxies, using a different blockchain with similar tip and referral mechanisms, or using a completely different type of chain and integrating it into the site in some minimum-viable way. Crypto to solve a problem is something I'm supposed to be dedicating a lot of time to (I've set up plenty of time available for that reason). Once I hash something out I'll post a thread proposing it.
 
It's great you hold no ill or resentment towards them, null. But if Brave truly wanted to be seen as independent from corporate influence or google's levels of meddling, they should've really stood off their ground.

It gives me no confidence that they can easily be swayed by the twitter cry bully mob.

Crypto, like any kind of currency, is in the eye of the beholder. Most people would view a Kiwi coin as virtually worthless, and likely, only the most obscure of exchanges would actually list a such coin. Not to mention that most of us don't have the combined advanced computer power needed to fend off 51% attacks (some person could just overwhelm us with computing power to send themselves a shit ton of Kiwi coin).
Edit: I'm not sure if the 51% attack thing would change if the Kiwi coin was a Dapp instead

We’re talking about a guy who got ousted by the gays and the troons at Mozilla, it was bound to happen.
 
You can't bleed the dosh from dear Feeder Josh.
Seriously getting sick of Dangerhairs cucking people to get their own way like spoiled toddlers.
 
I'm just going to throw this out there, and this is more me thinking to myself publicly than anything. How about separating the different parts of Kiwi Farms into newly named multiple sites on different domains and obfuscate things a bit? Maybe have a .onion page or something else idk, all I know is brand recognition is a double edged sword for this place. I wish people who hate this site would just go get jobs and a life.

And if they had done so, the twitter mob would have escalated to Mastercard and Brave's ability to use credit cards to buy BAT would be dead.

We in the west apparently decided to let two companies -- Visa and Mastercard -- decide who gets to do business online, and Mastercard has decided Social Justice is good for business. No tinfoil hat required, they flat out said they think African and Arabic migrants will be stupid enough to get credit cards and become debt slaves.

Nick Monroe had an article on it with lots of receipts before he got purged from Twitter. IIRC I archived all of it because I expected him to get kicked for naming the Soros, so you might be able to click through around here: https://archive.fo/Ww0LG

Seeing as Visa and Mastercard settled a 6 BILLION dollar lawsuit for shenanigans last year, I'm guessing it's going to take some form of legal solution to fix this. Which would require Democrats (who are benefiting from Mastercard doing this) or Republicans (who are cucked) to agree to work with the other side to fix it. I.e., good luck.

I had a bad feeling when I saw Vice ads on there. I spammed that one like a mother though so at least some of the BAT I donated before the ban came from Vice. They can fucking suck it.
 
Have you given any consideration to New Project 2, or is crypto a necessity? Could always try making dickels worth something.

You could make your own crypto just like could also make your own money by drawing your face on note cards. The problem is getting other people to recognize its value. There's tons of worthless shitcoins that never went anywhere because some lazy hack thought all they needed was to get a foot in the door and the money would come rolling in. And if people are going to be buying such a crypto only for the sole purpose of supporting the site, then there's no reason to make your own cryptocurrency to do so, they should just use an existing one.

I never understood this "pressuring" nonsense. What could they reasonably do? "Hey so you better do this or we'll not use the service I don't use regardless."
Am I missing something here or am I just stupid?

So shall we start pestering them to remove Vice from their ad services due to "advocating for violence?"

Troons and child rapists like those who got the bluehairs at Brave to threaten Brendan with sabotage, and the supporters of Kurdish terrorists and drinking cum at Vice may be widely disliked. They may be considered weird by most real humans. They often commit crimes. But they are also 100% in line with the power elite that runs the media and politics. So if you don't want your VC backers to push you out of your company, maybe you consider it tactically sound to bend over for a little while. Or maybe you're just broken by the pressure.

Brave said somewhere they intend on allowing you to withdraw grant money directly to Uphold in the next few months. So you can just wait, if you're willing to do a KYC dance with Uphold.

This is all very confusing.. basically we're talking about bringing in the ability to 'sell' your Brandon tokens for real cryptocurrencies, or fiat money?

Sounds fine, my concern with these things is always about the amount of privacy that one has against national governments and other, higher level enemies when you associate your personal details with transfers of money. The Farms are still pretty safe in this regard, it's not like donating to dissident political groups or buying illegal weapons and other cool stuff like that. Even if I was to withdraw to a cryptocurrency without proper privacy (which some, like Monero, do have) and my identity details were passed on by Uphold to USG or the SPLC etc allowing them to track a transfer of something like Bitcoin to Null's BTC address and associate the source wallet with my identity, I don't see too much risk in being tied to KF in that way.

My understanding is that brave just doesn't wanna send kiwifarms their fake money. They're fine with you sending fake money that you buy from them or that you earn through watching ads. It's like not being able to buy cigarettes with your welfare gibs.

At least I can sell my EBT cards to get cash at a discount. This KYC stuff is extremely Zionist in nature. Monero is where it's at (NOT ZCASH FOR GOD'S SAKE).
 
No, I'm sorry. I can't forgive this. Glad you're being charitable, @Null, but I won't be.
No one with any clout seems to possess requisite balls to stand up and show these mobs for what they are.
In my dreamiest idealism, I envision that day where enough of a critical mass makes these creeps tip their hand far enough to make public sentiment turn against them, but I'm fooling myself.
Call me defeatist, but they always win.
