Brave browser aims to establish a method of payment to content producers. It aims to protect to user by cutting out middlemen. The method of payment is a cryptocurrency called basic attention token. The brave browser (better than chrome) in development is called brave browser. Check out https://basicattentiontoken.org
It's just generally good in alot of ways, most of the ways for the end user is by blocking cookies, blocking ads and upgrading http to https etc. It saves alot of data and money to use these platforms. But you get to distribute payment to sites and providers which you prefer, so you can pay providers directly.
It’s how they are able to run their platform without monetization and ads. They give you (the user) a certain balance at a certain time with a deadline and you can, but don’t have to, send the tokens over to the sites you want to support.
The sites receive the tokens and can now (eventually) be funded without annoying their viewers or customers with bullshit ads popping up left and right. This is possible because the BAT tokens (received from supporters) can be used as a means of currency or even be exchanged for fiat.
BAT tokens are not mined. They had an initial offer and raised funds with them and no more are created. But they aren't worth much so they won't replace direct donations to voat even if we all use Brave.

This is the first I've heard of it. IMHO, if it's not directly from me directly to voat's wallet then I'm suspicious.

Send your bitcoin to fgxa6r9h5z865J162j369816y89s6j90d769d373287 if you want to donate to Voat. Trust me, it will go to Voat. /s
A few years ago I would have trusted some random thing but now I'm very suspicious of anything, even a legitimate-looking site for donating.

LOL on the btc addy!
In case anyone was looking, PuttItOut shared the official Voat one in this post, https://voat.co/v/whatever/2715711, copied here for convenience:

I think it's mining crypto in the background.

@puttitout does this work?

This just popped up on my browser. I'm not really sure if it's worth anything... they gave me free tokens though, so I added it to Voat.
