Just turned off Brave ads. I'm not taking the time to sign up to some exchange for $4 worth of shitcoin. Sorry guys, offer a way to cash out in BTC, start paying over the lightning network, or don't show me your ads. Your BAT is worthless.

I tip the creators on yt with those rewards.

Yeah, but I just assume they have to deal with said shitcoin too. I guess if they are setup it's not playing hot potato?

Yes, that's right. I've tipping content providers but most aren't registered so the tips bonne back after a while.

bounce back... lol

It is a bit of a faff really tbh. You can use the Slice plugin, which is similar but is from BTC peeps and does do lightning payout for your share of ad revenue (also works in brave)

But obvs feel free not to use it lol

That's interesting. Was not aware of that one.

you actually reminded me i haven't sent them over to my lightning wallet in a lil bit, nay bad. Depends if you find having ads annoying vs having free sats

Cool! I'll check it out

The 'slice points' you earn are fixed tondollar amount btw, so the sats amount changes with BTC price, just an FYI. Might be something you want to bare in mind. (Slice points aren't a shitcoin or token or anything tho). I didn't notice this at first lol. But maybe you had¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I do far more on mobile than desktop, but if it's BTC, no reason not to

Ah, right I don't think there's any mobile version for slice (not that I know of anyway). But if anyone knows of one I'd be interested(?)

Thanks!

Just realized I can use slice on Kiwi.

Already using Nos2x there for a bunch of nostr stuff. Setting Presearch as the default search engine, and I have new default Android browser. Thanks for the tip! I'll be giving it a try.

If anybody else wants to try Slice for potential sat rewards, I have a referral code.

I haven’t liked brave

Brave has less Spyware and tracking bullshit than chrome. Kiwi seems decent and it allows extensions, Presearch actually has a pretty good mobile browser too.

I don’t like their adds and special wallet requirements

Yeah, you can turn them off. But I agree. I'm using it less and less.

I still use it on my laptop

How do you shut the ads off?

I'd have to get the laptop out and look, but you should be able to hit the little triangle by the browser bar that has Brave "rewards" and turn ads off in the settings.

I need to look into kiwi πŸ€”πŸ€” doninhavebto do android wizardry with fdroid and GitHub or whatever else? or is it on playstore and easy peasy lol

Playstore and thanks for sharing will check out slice

Did you manage to get slice to work on kiwi? πŸ€” Trying it now, but can't seem to figure it out.

It's installed and setup...I think. Not sure if it's working or not lol

Yeah I think I set it up, but it doesn't seem to be 'connected'. On the browser version you click on the plugin icon, connect and tinker with the setting and all that. HmmπŸ€”

Ah! You have to open the extension from the menu and hit the gear for settings then connect it

Just had a look for kiwi comparability in their discord, seems to not work or not work v well. I wonder if they have a nostr. They ought to really ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

🫑🫑🫑 nice one , thanks. Let's hope it works:)

I hope so!

Seems to, it gave me a couple of notification type ads like the ones you get on brave phone app, which you can just swipe away and get paid for πŸ‘

I just converted about $35 in Bat to BTC using uphold day before yesterday.

When I tried to move it off their exchange the fee was over $8

So I'm patiently waiting for BTC fees to calm back down.

I've exchanged BAT for BTC in the past.

Depending on what their fees are for withdrawing XLM, next time I'll send them on the Stellar network to Lobstr, then swap them for BTCLN via KB Trading.

I think I used to have an uphold account, but I really can't be bothered to find the login info for $4.25 worth of BAT. I'm over seeing 3-5 ads a day and having only phantom shitcoin to show for it.

Well said πŸ‘
