Welcome to this week’s BAT Community Update! Thank you to Dan Murphy for his contributions!



BLOG: Highlights from Jimmy Secretan’s BAT Community AMA

I grew up in and around Orlando, Florida. Some of my earliest memories were of taking household items and using them to try and build interesting machines. And after several early visits to EPCOT, I knew I wanted to spend my life thinking about what the future could be like. See, back then, it wasn’t all just movie tie-ins, it was a bold statement that we should all think about how life could be completely different and much better if we are willing to work to make it happen.

Brave Team Tweets

Page translation is coming to nightly/dev/beta channels, and we are working on a sustainable model for stable release channel too. — BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) May 31, 2019 Brave page transition is coming to nightly/dev/beta channels.

ETH wallet is coming, if that's what you mean – you'd manage the private key and risk mis-sends. — BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) May 31, 2019 ETH wallet is coming too.

We're working on this now 🙂 — Sampson (@BraveSampson) June 1, 2019 Withdrawing tokens? Working on it. (With appropriate Know Your Customer protections, of course!)

It's just a matter of time 🙂 @lukemulks is working hard to bring on additional campaigns and regions. — Sampson (@BraveSampson) June 6, 2019 Why isn’t Brave Rewards online in Ireland? It’s coming, and Luke is on the case.

We evaluated other approaches, and this yielded the least amount of friction. Otherwise we would need to have a custom build for every single user in the referral system. That, or their users would have to manually associate. Both painful 🙂

BAT/Brave in the News

While a year old, this was just published on London Web Standards. Check out Dr. Ben Livshits talking about Web 3.0!

Brave is a browser that aims to disrupt online advertising, while simultaneously protecting the privacy of the user. Brave tends to also be quite a bit faster than the competition.



In this talk I will describe some of the novel browser features, such as a cryptocurrency wallet, an ad system, and our push to enable interesting interactions with what some people call Web 3.0.

News You Should Know

Department of Justice reportedly preparing Google antitrust investigation

The US Department of Justice is preparing to kick off an antitrust investigation of Google, according to a report late Friday by The Wall Street Journal.



The department is expected to examine Google’s search practices, as well as its other businesses, the report said. Though the Federal Trade Commission investigated Google several years ago, this time it’ll step aside for the DOJ to conduct the inquiry.

Brave has completely changed my mind on ads. I thought I'd never put up with them again, but it's totally different when they respect you (and even reward you for your attention!)



Thanks @BrendanEich and the whole @Brave team for changing the game.
