> do you plan to have a simple password instead of email link?

security gave the A-okay to give users an option to be able to stay signed in for 30 days. soon you will be able to check a box to stay signed in.

> are there any brave banners i can use to promote brave?

> will u provide a command line tool to verify websites?

not in the foreseeable future. we have had some discussions allowing keybase as a trusted connection and mark any properties they have verified as verified in brave as well. we might have more news on that front in the future.

> why are referrals tied to channels instead of account?

very good question, this is a symptom of tech debt. we're hoping to move it over to the account very soon

> will you expand to micropayments?

we're discussing more ways to spend your BAT and that's all I'll say about that :)

> will brave always block ads everywhere or will you switch to blocking only on verified sites?

brave will block 3rd party ads, in the future we will be introducing publisher ads which will allow websites to define sections of their site to for Brave to insert local privacy-preserving advertisements. the publishers get 70% of the revenue and users receive 30%.

Why do users receive 30% of revenue? They are the ones being advertised to.
