No, you're mistaken. We don't hold payments at all (we are not licensed to intermediate). If you use the browser to tip a creator who hasn't signed up, your browser holds the tip and retries every 30 days up to 90th day.

Didn't you just say that you stopped pretending to accept tips for people you have not signed up in January 2019? And yet here you say that you still have this same deceptive behaviour in your browser?

(Please clearly state you how you’re related to Brave in your profile if you don’t want me to repeatedly ask you when posting comments.)
Feel free to link to public documentation on Brave’s site showing the screenshots of Brave’s workflow, policies, etc.
As is, you’re comment assumes I understand a lot of things, which you say I don’t, then go on to not explain them; tip, comments, tweets, etc are a poor place to do this.
For example, what has happened before the 30th day; as in please list from start to finish everything that happens from me downloading Brave, finding myself, making a “payment” to myself, and nothing nothing. Also, if relevant, disclose any and all business policies & procedure; for example, is there a difference between a $5, $101, $1001, etc transaction.

Brendan is the CEO of Brave and fairly famous for a number of things, so I can't say I understand how you (as someone who is apparently savvy enough to understand how Brave works) don't know who what his relation to it is?

Exactly how do you know that user is the CEO of Brave? (Serious question, I don’t have an answer.)

He’s relatively famous and easy to google. That HN account is not a brand new account someone made to pretend to be him either.

I won't google a random HN username unless any disclosure.
