RE: Could Cryptocurrency kill online advertising?
LOL It would definitely not kill Basic Attention Token, Ad-cryptocurrency. Ads can be a good thing, as means of providing access to media against attention reward. The problems occur when user privacy is breached and misused. Actually BAT has a very nice solution to this problem.
Browser mining is just another trick in the big arsenal of fraudsters.
BAT is an interesting project with some heavyweights behind it. I keep meaning to pick some up.
The Brave project is very interesting at first glance, but their model is essentially based on tipping, as the funds come from the users. This model was tried with miserable results by the Changetip bitcoin tipping platform, which closed down 1-2 years ago.
