They are very small but I got free BAT droppings when I downloaded the Brave browser.
You've got to love crypto at least for the far out names of ICOs. There is a coin for everything. I never gave my attention to the BAT coin until they opened up this adblock browser that is faster than other browsers.

Seriously they dropped some free money into my wallet, about four US dollars.
They said this is a grant that needs to be used by April. That's about the same time taxes are due. The problem is I wasn't sure how to use the BAT. Then I got an idea of giving tips. The only problem is that the site I give a tip to has to be registered with Brave as a creator. So I sent the tip to my friend but I don't think he will receive it until he registers as a creator.
To register as a publisher or creator just go to the FAQ at brave and login.
Then you can collect the tips sent to you. It's not super easy to register. You have to verify your email address and it looks like Brave wants to keep 5% of your tip. But seeing that it was their money in the first place who cares?
