I think you guys should make it more known that you accept BAT token donations as well.

Brave Browser users could easily donate BAT to you straight from the SaidIt homepage.

I went down this road once, and we have earned some BAT, but the company Brave partnered with makes you do a full dox to withdraw. Maybe I'll take one for the team, but it's a huge turn off.

This is unfortunately likely to be unavoidable from a legal perspective while retaining their model of collecting tips for a site before registration.

As usual blame government.

I blame Brave too. This isn't the first shady thing that's gone on with BAT.

Edit:

It really looks like Brave made this call: https://community.brave.com/t/uphold-kyc-know-your-customer-verification-is-now-required-in-order-to-receive-bat-publisher-payouts/42035

Here on Uphold it says you don't need to verify unless your lifetime transactions are over $1000: https://uphold.com/en/blog/using-uphold-how-to-get-verified

A proposed Uphold alternative, that still requires identity verification: https://brave.com/brave-civic-partnership/

BAT is funded and founded by some Mozilla guys, so I don't know why I expected something better. I'm getting the impression that they're scared of the feds looking into BAT. If everyone insists on pressing the easy button, nothing good will ever happen ever.
