You like the idea of earning money just by surfing the web?
And by that using a browser that is faster and more secure than any other browser around?

Well, the Brave browser and the crypto called Basic Attention Token make it possible.

Ever since Bitcoin had appeared in 2009, the blockchain economy has entered almost every other relevant industry. And with Brave there is a new, crypto-enabled webbrowser available, which is aiming to disrupt nothing less than the webs advertizing industry. And the great thing about that: You can already use it and make a profit.

By Default, the brave browser is one of the fastest and securest around. That is simply because it blocks all ads and all trackers.

There are two ways of earning crypto via the Brave Browser:

1️⃣ . earn BAT By Publishing.
All you need to do is register your blog, website or youtube channel on https://publishers.basicattentiontoken.org – this will enable you to receive BAT from your viewers using the brave browser.

2️⃣ . earn BAT By Browsing.
Enabling Ads will activate the function of Brave Bwoser to earn you rewards for browsing. This feature is planned to get rolled out in 2018.

So that was how to earn BAT

Listen to the full episode here: https://thejollyswagmen.com/new-blog/brendaneich Brendan Eich is widely regarded as a ‘Father of the Web’. He is the creator of JavaScript and co founder of Mozilla and the Firefox browser. JavaScript is one of the three core programming languages and underpins over 90% of the web, including websites like Facebook and Google. In 2015, Brendan co founded Brave Software, where he is also CEO. Brave provides a browser that blocks websites from dropping ‘cookies’ on users, thereby preventing ad trackers. At Brave, Brendan also led a successful ICO in 2017 and has received investment from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. In this episode, Joe caught up with Brendan at Brave HQ in San Francisco to discuss: the heady days at Netscape during ‘The First Browser War’ when Brendan was hired by billionaire Marc Andreessen to develop a secret weapon against Microsoft; the epic tale of the ten-day creation of JavaScript; the art of coding; the story of Mozilla; why the world needs Brave, and how to build products people will love.
