> will u provide a command line tool to verify websites?
not in the foreseeable future. we have had some discussions allowing keybase as a trusted connection and mark any properties they have verified as verified in brave as well. we might have more news on that front in the future.
> why are referrals tied to channels instead of account?
very good question, this is a symptom of tech debt. we're hoping to move it over to the account very soon
> will you expand to micropayments?
we're discussing more ways to spend your BAT and that's all I'll say about that :)
> will brave always block ads everywhere or will you switch to blocking only on verified sites?
brave will block 3rd party ads, in the future we will be introducing publisher ads which will allow websites to define sections of their site to for Brave to insert local privacy-preserving advertisements. the publishers get 70% of the revenue and users receive 30%.
* Brave browser still being chromium under the hood. It's not the worst thing in the world, but there's plenty of sound technical/ideological reasons to be against a browser engine monoculture
* A (healthy IMO) skepticism of cryptocurrency backed projects
Do you think those concerns are irrelevant? I find it funny that you accuse HN commenters of being Google shills (my experience is quite the opposite).
- are there any brave banners i can use to promote brave?
- will u provide a command line tool to verify websites?
- why are referrals tied to channels instead of account?
- will you expand to micropayments?
- will brave always block ads everywhere or will you switch to blocking only on verified sites?
Some form if instant payment is sorely needed. I hope regulators can catch up with reality , or else maybe brave should move to another country
( it s also comical to witness the hostility of HN towards brave. Are we full of google shills here? )
