Brave Browser
Just stumbled across this:
Brave - private, secure and fast browsing. Support your favorite sites with micropayments - Brave features blockchain-based tokens which can be used to reward content creators.
The new Brave browser blocks the ads and trackers that slow you down, chew up your bandwidth, and invade your privacy. Brave even lets you contribute to your favorite creators automaticallyWhat is Brave Payments?
Brave Payments is a system that allows you to anonymously donate to content producers that you like. All you need to do is create a BAT wallet and add an amount. Then, when you visit websites, Brave Payments automatically distributes microdonations based on the time you devote. You can customize your list of favorite websites. You can even “pin” specific sites to receive a certain amount every month. It’s like becoming a patron. With regard to your privacy in Brave Payments, we do not know which BAT wallet is associated with the lists of sites that you choose to support. In other words – you, the user, have access to your browsing report but Brave (the company) does not have that informationComment

If you like brave, you might like pre-search. Earn tokens at your desk just searching with pre-search instead of google.
Presearch
And if you're into earning money check out Gems - Decentralized Mechanical Turk on the Blockchain - all based on micro tasks. You can earn up to $40-50 dollars a day. Now that's nothing for us. But in other parts of the world... then you'll recognise why this project has more potential than most."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Get back to your keyboard!
Actually you're already performing the micro-tasks and you don't even know it. The only difference is you're not getting paid for it. How many times in the last week have you faced the captcha challenge when logging onto a secure page? Identify which pictures contain a bus etc... did you know you're helping Google's AI to become smarter by answering those questions? You're working for Google. Well Gems takes it a step further allowing web developers to integrate to their mechanical turk to their websites. The task is performed but this time both webmaster and user are rewarded. Additionally it is doing a lot more than identifying objects in a picture, but also gestures, or which way a camera is moving.
Do you get it yet? The network effects? No? Ok, here's another example. You know when you're on youporn and you select a category for a group of videos....."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
