Its $5 according to the email sent by Brave.
It’ll be $2 If the install comes on Oct 1st

Thanks for your analysis. That is why I work 4 times as hard to portray a good representation of Nigeria. It isn’t easy always having to prove yourself and not being given the benefit of doubt. I have made it work and that is why I always support any good Nigerian or African cause outside or inside the community. To be a Nigerian is to always be on the attack because they would always assume you are a representation of the few popular bad heads. That is why I take my role as community ninja really serious. At least am the only one with the badge and am proud to be Nigerian.

From my understanding, this is still not clear.
On one hand, the install happens before October 1st (reason for $5).
On the other, the confirmation happens on November 15th (and the e-mail says there are no more $5 payouts after October — reason for $2).

Referral is optional, it’s up to you… and if the only thing that brave is use to you is the money, then go to tier 1-3 countries… LOL.
and maybe you are one of those ‘click this and receive money’?
I’m not saying this just because I am not from Philippines when in fact, I am also from Philippines…

You could use a tracker. Drop your referral link into the tracker, and use the tracker URL to advertise. Then in the back end, you can see where the referrals came from.

Everyone in the advertising community uses them. It’s for Analytics. xD

We wouldn’t have to do that if Brave themselves let us see the region of our referrals like most referral based programs do. So we gotta do it ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with a tracker link. But there is a problem with websites tracking you through cookies to other websites and sharing your data to 3rd parties.

It really seems unfair and it’s demotivating to refer people.

Hey guys - piling on here. I hope we realize that the referral program – www.brave.com/refer – was meant to be run until we spent $1M equivalent. As of the last settlement, we are already at $2M+ and by the time the program ends it will be $3M and above. And yet we are here, trying to do the right thing by extending it further so creators can earn more.
We spent a lot of time discussing the details of the program around sustainability and we ended up here. As it turns out the dominant usage was for folks who were not necessarily organic creators that used it as a stream to append to their existing earnings; it was mostly folks using the $5 to arbitrage and earn. We have nothing against such creators (well, users!) and we are working with some of them directly at the same rates here. We are not obliged to share internal marketing rate decisions, so I hope folks on this thread can understand that while we normally open to debate, asking for operating decisions is not up for a discussion.
The change in the program is to extend it, not to kill it so let’s not forget that is the primary goal. Also, Brendan has promised that we review the program every quarter and we will review it if we feel all parties involved are not getting value. So this is not IT either and we will keep listening to feedback and evolving the refer program.
Thanks for listening!

Well said in the name of “Big Tech Crusade”. Just don’t become one of those. Your product exists in one hand thanks to the cryptocommunity. Never forget.
You know why Philippines is not in tier 3? That’s because there are too many people abusing the referral program to refer to “phantom” users and too much syndicates abusing this as a way to earn money. Look at the tier 3 countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan. These are countries where the economy is matured and advertisers don’t mind spending their advertising dollars because they know the audience there are genuine consumers unlike those trying to game the system elsewhere. So ask yourself (and your fellow country mates) who should be responsible if no advertisers want to advertise to people in your country?
