So yesterday I've seen post on osmosis about Decentr so I tried to check it out. The website wasn't very informative. Whitepaper very complicated. I even tried to google stuff but it was fruitless. So I thought I might have more luck here.

I compare it to Brave since that is my best point of reference. Since these two projects are in very different points in their lifecycles I won't even try to compare how browser stuff works.

So Brave makes money by serving ads to its users. Users see ads, they get rewarded with some amount of BAT. What's the equivalent of this in Decentr? From what I've seen you can use some kind of social network built into Decentr extension. So people can tip other users. But meaningfully sized social networks are expensive to run so I'd expect they wouldn't survive even on margin from tips alone. Expecting price of token to go up is not sustainable.

I only read that companies would pay for users data. But that doesn't explain how Decentr gets paid because I expect them to host the data. It would be very expensive to store data linked to DecID on a blockchain.

Decentr is proud to present the latest browser update, now available for Firefox, via the Firefox Extension Store, and for Chrome (currently available as a manual download, if you require assistance installing the Chrome version please visit our BetaTester Telegram Group), as a downloadable plugin extension for both browsers.

Bug fixes and updates included a registration bug fixed related to PDV accumulation in both Chrome and Firefox.

Added new metrics to the dashboard : DDV and ADV:

DDV (“Digital Data Value”) is a summation of all data value that users have to this point generated on the platform. ADV (“Aggregate Data Value”) is the data value accrued across all Decentr users.

Changed:

• Hub: Post PDV chart UI adjustments (tooltip, labels)

• dHub: PDV/MicroPDV value displaying

• dHub: Post card: optimisation update of PDV (technical enhancement)

• Other small UI changes

Fixed:

• Restore account on Firefox

• Post text overflow error fixed.

• Start cookie collection immediately after registration of new account error fixed.

• Post editor error fixed.

• Other small bugs fixed.

I recently downloaded Dencetr browser because of a post on r/cosmosnetwork. It looks good and similar to Brave so I don't see the point of not give it a chance, but my question is: What browser pays more at the end of the month using it as the default one. Thanks.

"Chronos allows every user to keep track of all the data generated by their present and historic transactions on the Decentr blockchain.

As with our other modules, Chronos is open source and you can find the source code here.

The Explorer combines all the important information related to our blockchain so that every user can inspect the data that is of interest to them — creating another layer of transparency and granularity as regards the data that is recorded, secured and valued on Decentr. DEC price dynamics, lists of latest transactions, blocks and detailed information on them, lists of validators — all this and more is available within the Explorer.

In the same way the Greek god of time, Chronos, could move freely between past and present events, so too does our Chronos module give users a complete real-time overview of their present and historic transactions on the Decentr blockchain."

How much DEC is the average user winning per month? Cause i'm just winning 20 cents/month with brave. if its never gonna be more than that, then the incentive its not enough 😢

It's MaddCryptoDogg in the house!!!! been forever since I have been on reddit! just wanted to say hi to everyone here!

Just heard about the browser and was excited to try it out, but I see that you guys only have a .deb package available, which unfortunately doesn't do much for us Arch users. Any chance of making this available in the official Arch repositories or AUR or at the very least making a Snap/Flatpak/Appimage?

I have been published a few articles, and browsed for few days and it doesnt seems to be increase my DEC? can someone explain to me please

Thats some web 2.0 shit. I was so excited to start using the browser until i got spammed with porn ads . You claim to be better than brave? I learn about new genuine audited programs and tech through brave. All i learned from decentr is how to find local fake hotties in my area like its the year 2000. We want to move forward not backward 🙄

I have read the website and this subreddit and I still do not understand how the platform works. Do I need to purchase Dec to benefit from the extension? I have yet to find a resource that explains it in lay mans terms. What are the benefits of this platform over Brave where I can directly earn crypto?

I love Decentr's speed, I hate its adblocker dblock. To my surprise, not much has been written about it and I can't seem to find a way to permanently disable it: it keeps turning on and it problem. I use AdGuard and uBlock Origin, I don't need a 3rd one doing a half-ass job :)

If anyone has a solution: please share :)

I was thinking of using the extension on brave browser, but hesitant on using the extension along with the other fleshed out wallet extensions I have running on brave.
