<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li><li><strong>Target version</strong> changed from <i>Q2/2020</i> to <i>Q3/2020</i></li></ul><p>So I've been investigating this, and have created an account to do some testing. Here's how it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>Users of the Brave web browser contribute "BAT" tokens by viewing ads and visiting sites</li>
<li>We can collect those BAT tokens, and convert them into proper currency</li>
<li>Obviously we DON'T want to serve any ads on our site</li>
<li>However, we can still collect BAT: Brave users can send us a one-off "tip", or include us in an automatic contribution, based on how much time they spend browsing sites</li>
</ul>
<p>Regarding the last point, we should consider enabling other sites too. The main LO website is well-visited, but people spend long visits on the blog and wiki.</p>
<p>Florian: Am I OK to enable Brave rewards for the main LO site (NOT adverts, just for tips from Brave users), or is there anything else you want to know?</p> Marketing - Task #3066: investigate Brave Rewards for LO website visitorshttps://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3066?journal_id=213192021-02-12T08:34:30ZMike Saundersmike.saunders@documentfoundation.org
<ul></ul><p>Ticket cleanup: Florian: Just checking if you're OK with me to go ahead with this - or we can consider it at a later date.</p> Marketing - Task #3066: investigate Brave Rewards for LO website visitorshttps://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3066?journal_id=213262021-02-12T11:21:38ZFlorian Effenbergerfloeff@documentfoundation.org
<ul></ul><p>Sorry, that fell through the cracks<br />How relevant do you think this is, something you would like to spend <br />some time on?<br />I'm sceptical, but not an expert - if you want to do this, let's have a <br />look (but take GDPR into consideration when we load external stuff), but <br />from my side, not urgent at all...</p> Marketing - Task #3066: investigate Brave Rewards for LO website visitorshttps://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3066?journal_id=213382021-02-16T09:40:10ZMike Saundersmike.saunders@documentfoundation.org

<p>Agreed - our donation stream is doing well, and there are some other larger projects right now (Annual Report, New Generation).</p>
<p>There have been other requests for donation services though (eg Patreon), so I'll gather them together into a new private ticket, and we can investigate them individually when we have time...</p>
