#5Who would run a browser specifically designed to track and show ads? I can't imagine it ever being enough to support the ecosystem.
Edit: And how is the locally gathered "attention" monitoring not exploitable by the people who get paid for the attention? Running a bunch of VMs that "pay attention" to the ad seems like a cheap thing to rig up.

I have been hoping for a long time that browsers could use cryptocurrency to monetize publishers through methods other than advertising.
Was very glad to see Brave pairing a browser with cryptocurrency (though I don't know how they will handle the scalability issues), and then very disappointed to see that it's not actually replacing ads, but instead encouraging users to watch them.

Even if Ethereum becomes wildly successful and attains the majority of the market share, it could very well result in Bitcoin's absolute value and usage increasing.

Isn't the end-user the party collecting micropayments in this case?

Brave already supports this.
