Receiving Basic Attention Token payments from Brave browser users?

    I use the Brave browser ( https://brave.com/ ) to view Chyoa. They have an initiative to send payments to publishers (such as Chyoa) based on browser users' attention, using "Basic Attention Tokens" based on Ethereum digital currency to maintain privacy, funded either through users viewing ads or purchasing funds for their BAT wallet.

    I spend enough time looking at Chyoa that my BAT wallet mentions Chyoa as a possible receiver of tokens.

    For the Suggestion Forum protocol: other Brave browser users interested in directing Basic Attention Token funds toward Chyoa?

    For the site staff: Within the realm of possibility? Has Brave been in touch?

    The Basic Attention Token home is here (long scroll-y whitepaper site): https://basicattentiontoken.org/

    A one-paragraph summary of publishers collecting BAT is here: https://brave.com/faq-rewards/#collect-payments

    Thank you very much, Zingiber!

    No, Brave hasn't contacted CHYOA. However, I've created an account and verified the site. There is a 183.76 BAT (or 25.5 USD) balance now.

    If anyone wants to give Brave a try, here is the promo link I got: https://brave.com/chy926 (CHYOA will receive an equivalent of 5 USD in BAT if you download and use the browser over a 30-day period)

    Exciting times! Let's see where this goes :)

    Happy I suggested! Maybe I'll have to (gulp) buy some Ethereum.
