https://brave.com is another attempt at this. You can fill a 'wallet' and have Brave distribute it to publishers

EDIT: Brave also focuses on privacy and ad blocking. It's also already released.

Brave does a lot more than just that though - it's a full fledged browser built on Electron. On desktop I found it lacking, but on mobile it's an excellent option. A good compromise between the UI responsiveness of Chrome and the extensibility and privacy features of Firefox for Android.

I finally bit the bullet and downloaded it. It's a pretty seamless transition from using chrome. I'm really impressed.
