Why's it gotta be crypto though

[-] felsiq@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Would you want your full identity being associated with every page you donate to, especially if the donations happen based on you just visiting? Idc if it’s crypto or another alternative personally, but it absolutely has to be properly anonymous or at least have the ability to be. Especially at the time BAT launched, crypto was the only way I personally knew to achieve that - if Mozilla wants to get on board and switch away from crypto to something equally anonymous, I’d be thrilled, but imo this is a good use case for crypto anyway so it doesn’t bother me.

You could have some sort of account with the browser company. They aggregate site visits, then do a monthly payout.

But that would mean storing history for users? Though surely there's a way to anonimize that.

BC banking has a host that's higher for both cash and administrative.

I didn't like how brave did it but the idea is sound IMHO.
