BAT (Basic Attention Token) is developed on Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. BAT provides a decentralized ad exchange platform. The prevailing advertising systems are inefficient and often show ads to the user irrelevant of their interests. BAT integrates various components such as attention evaluation system, analytics dashboard and machine learning algorithms. BAT has been integrated into the "Brave" browser which formerly used for Bitcoin payments. The Brave browser anonymouslyShow more [+] monitors the user browsing behavior. The data generated never leaves the device. BAT improves the efficiency of digital advertising by creating BAT tokens easily exchangeable between users, publishers, and advertisers.
The BAT token was developed by Brendan Eich, who created JavaScript and co-founded Mozilla and Firefox. Brain Bondy is also co-founder and acting as Browser engineering Lead. The team consists of 13 other members along with 4 advisors.
The BAT token is presently accepted by some notable publishers such as Vice, Washington Post, Marketwatch, The Guardian etc. BAT token focuses on user privacy, publisher's improved revenue, and advertisers better attribution.
BAT rewards lost! *for the 2nd time* I have been a supporter and investor for a long time.
Today I noticed my brave rewards that I have been collecting disappeared. Where did they go and how can I get them back?
It's only a small amount less than 20$ usd but its not right on principle. If BAT is to gain traction it must be reliable and trustworthy. The fact that I have seen many other people in this subreddit face the same issue shows to me it is neither. What will Brave to to fix this in the future and retroactively?
I recommend brave to as many people as I can and have invested my own money into this project. It is frustrating that I offer support only to be forgotten.
I don't know how long I've been collecting BAT but its been years and I've always sent my browser wallet funds to my Brave Creator account since I didn't have an ID back then to sign up with these crypto websites to get verified. Well fast forward to now and Brave got rid of unverified wallets but I have an ID now and 1000 BAT sitting in my creators account so I thought it would be simple to sign up to protect my funds.
I signed up with Uphold and went through the verification and connected it to my browser and creator account and thought everything was fine. Then a few days later I get an email from Uphold saying "we can no longer offer you an account" without a reason why, even after I contacted their support they couldn't tell me what the problem was. So I thought well let's go with Gemini since that seems to be another option and I went through their ID verification (which is actually easier than Uphold) and everything seems to be fine. Now I connected it to my Brave Creator account and it says: "It looks like you’re in an unsupported country for Brave Creators with Gemini". I'm in the USA and you literally have a button for it and everything looks fine on my Gemini account...
So guys this stuff is driving me to point of wanting to uninstall Brave and never think about crypto again. So how was your day?
