Basic Attention Token (BAT) VS Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

Agreed. Brave actually implemented this exact thing[1], and then got dumped together with other crypto scam projects, which continues to happen in this very thread. Crypto haters are quick to shout that cryptocurrencies have no practical use, and introduce many problems, but this is a perfect use case for them. The negative discussion has detracted from some truly disrupting technologies being adopted, which is a... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions" And more recently Brave, the browser tried to implement it. "Crypto and DeFi are hard to use and the $330 billion digital advertising industry is failing users, publishers and advertisers. With Basic Attention Token and Brave we want to take Crypto to the next 1B users and solve the endemic inefficiencies and privacy... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Brave's Basic Attention Tokens, or BAT, are bridged across Ethereum and Solana per BAT's website; Ethereum previously used a proof-of-work model which had an awful environmental impact, but has since moved to a more efficient proof-of-stake model in September 2022, which the Ethereum Foundation claimed at the time would reduce energy use by 99.95%, though I can't find anything on the actual results.

As far as I know, it’s alright. Firefox (and some forks of it) are considered better with the right tweaks. Un-googled chromium and Brave are generally considered your best bets for a chromium-based browser (some sites unfortunately rely on chromium, though your mileage may vary). I think Brave is considered to be a bit more secure than un-googled chromium (don’t quote me on that)— but the trade off is that... Source: over 1 year ago

I can vouch for this. My dad has been going through Bitcoin Gold and he basically looks at the price of BTG like… almost everyday when he comes back home from work. He either says “lets wait a couple days and see what happens” and when it dips. He buys more (~$200-500 USD), to a point where there was $3k USD in the crypto account. I was hesitant in purchasing more crypto in his account. Sometimes I even say “are... Source: over 2 years ago

Hey guys! Check out BTG (Bitcoin Gold), it’s been pumping hard for the last few days. It’s a hard fork of Bitcoin that attempts to solve some problems and make it more decentralized again. Very little volume on Binance, and only available as a BTG/BTC pair. So I guess not a lot of people know about it. Check out their website: https://bitcoingold.org/. Source: about 3 years ago

I've been looking to trade some of my mined BTG, but can't find a single exchange that will allow me. I previously used HitBTC but it won't allow US residents now, and every exchange I've checked on coinmarketcap.com or bitcoingold.org won't allow US residents either. IF anyone finds one I'd love to know. In the mean time, not more BTG mining for me... Source: about 3 years ago
