This will get abused a lot there's no stopping it. But since it's available on android I may get it just to test it out. Seeing if it gives a decent amount and it's like my current browser.

I have just visited the website but it is no where written about any payment for advertising view.
Apart from the subject mentioned article, is there any other link that shows their payment options??
Also let us know if any other info is available like payment ratio and withdrawal threshold.

from what I gathered from their site. every parties gets a portion of bitcoins (Brave, their ad-matching partners, users, and publishers.).
not really 100% sure but I think we are the users.
also we can pay a monthly fee of bitcoin and get no ads whatsoever.
@others
am I right so far?

The details are in their blog:

Here's an excerpt:
Quote
Today we are discussing the Brave Ledger, a Bitcoin-based micropayments system for users and publishers. As part of our open source approach, we are sharing the specification with developers for comment and discussion. The code is currently being written, and we expect to revise the code based on feedback. At present, we are planning on having everything running (and released as open source) in our 1.0 Development release later in May.
...........For ad-replacement mode, once an ad campaign is reconciled and our advertising partners pay us, the total views from the ad-replacement users are aggregated into a weighted list for publishers. From the total payment, our ad-matching partner takes a share (15%), we take our share (15%), we reserve the user revenue share of the total payment (15%) for ad-replacement users, and the remaining amount is allocated to the publishers (e.g., 55%). The payment to each publisher is then calculated using the weighted-ratio method. In order to enhance privacy, the payment to each ad-replacement user is calculated independently of the actual ad impressions served to that user – Brave Software does not keep track of which users were served which impressions.
So, what happens when you're in ad-replacement mode? The Brave Ledger makes a transfer of the user revenue share to your Brave wallet! You have two choices: you can "donate" the funds to your favorite sites (this is the automated default); or you can transfer the funds to another Bitcoin wallet and spend them yourself. However, in order to take money out of the system, Anti-money laundering (AML) and Know your customer (KYC) regulations require that Brave Software verifies your identity. If you choose to verify your identity, then you'll need to demonstrate control of a phone number and an email address. Even so, there will be no way for Brave Software to correlate your browsing history with payments to your wallet.
Publishers (the sites you visit) will also have to verify their wallets to get paid, and the difficulty of validation will – owing to AML and KYC regulations – be more stringent, but proportional to the size of the publisher. One of the nice features of the ad-free model is that accounting is entirely transparent – everyone (users and publishers) can examine the BTC blockchain and see the transfers going to and from the Brave Software escrow accounts. (There are many wonderful advantages to using Bitcoin for the Brave Ledger, but that’s for a future blog post… we promise!) Note also that because most users don’t change defaults, most users will default-pay their top sites, and so the aggregate share to publishers through the system is 70% of ad revenue.

I love how advertisers are now crying because of Adblock and stuff. They shouldn't have abused the system with annoying popups, sound ads and +18 stuff. Now it's too late to change to Acceptable ads.
Exactly this! I didn't have problem with moderate number of ads on my favorite websites. I understand that is a way of earning money needed to keep sites alive.But when number of ads started to grow on a daily basis, with annoying popups, flash ads with music I had to install adblock.
I seriously hope this new idea an will revolutionize internet.
April 03, 2016, 11:13:16 AM
why the same thread about the same argument, and gain this is not going to tell you the exact earning, because i can guess easily that is abysmally low, and not worth to installa a browse that is probably worse than chrome

Just imagine how many people will try to abuse the system by running multiple instances of Brave on multiple machines to farm ads revenue. But probably the devs will think up some countermeasures against the abusers. Anyway getting a couple bucks for free coffee once in a while doesn't hurt 
abusers will abuse anything they can get their hands on.
besides running this requires different IPs and different machines you say is gonna cost more than the ad payments i suppose.

sounds perfect! I've been looking for a sucker corp for a click fraud abuse campaign.
Woot!

I don't think they're paying per impression or per click. I think it's more a flat payment. You either pay them to have no ads, or they pay you a flat fee per month to see ads.

This was already discussed on the forums. I think it's pretty interesting, like I said on the other thread, and I'll probably try it and switch to their browser if they go live.
April 03, 2016, 10:31:37 AM
Is the browser ready to go now?
April 03, 2016, 10:25:35 AM
Is this for real guys? If it is, has anyone tried it yet? I am a person who goes a lot to different sites but I dont see yet how to earn here. I hope someone could verify this including the payment done.

Couldn't I do this with just one computer. I mean when I'm surfing on several different websites who supports brave's idea I will get paid by visiting all of them.
Would be cool to open 1 or 2 browser windows and in each to open again several tabs.

I can see this being abused unfortunately, but still a cool development from Mozilla co-founders

wow, that sounds awesome.
i always see the best out of Mozilla.
and this would be awesome if you could just choose to block the ads or view then and share in the revenue.

well, this sounds awesome. I visits lots of sites with LOTS of ads so maybe I can make few bucks out of this. 
let's just hope that these "safe ads" are really safe.

I wonder how many Brave Browsers you need to run concurrently in pay-the-user-Ads-On mode to be able to afford one copy of the user-pays-No-Ads mode?
April 03, 2016, 10:00:03 AM
That is a very good idea. I will get paid by looking at the advertisement. I do not have to join signature campaign.
