Does anyone know when something like this might come to Brave?

The same thing you saw happen to any other cryptocurrency. It basically kills all earnest conversation.
The Brave thought this was worthwhile makes the whole thing feel scummy to me. But we are way off topic.
I know "Have I Been Pwned" is supposed to be a security tool for white hats, but the fact that they collected hundreds of millions of users passwords seems at odds with that.
Additionally, there's a service called 1password that leverages this data. It claims to be a tool to help users know if their password has been compromised. But a service that has the ability to check a user's current password against a database seems at odds with that.
On a completely unrelated note-- do you know how Brave actually implements advertising in their browser?
