The idea of surfing the web to earn crypto is still exciting
Get paid in crypto to surf the web
At first read the statement looks unbelievable or the tag line of a PTC paid to click site.
However the scenario changes a lot when you say you are talking about the first decentralized web browser that has integrated blockchain node.
A blockchain node in a browser ?
That is surely a first of sorts.
So to explore the idea I went ahead and installed the Netbox browser
The signup
The signup process is quite straight forward and requires an email and a
password.
Why an email and a password is needed?
The netbox browser has a built in wallet and to get people on board they are airdropping 20 NETBOX coins for free.
The deal gets even more sweeter if you sign up with a referral link like this
ref link1
https://netbox.global/r/l5B51
ref link 2
https://netbox.global/r/mQDQ3
ref link 3
https://netbox.global/r/nrErp
These are my referral links and feel free to ask for more links if you find the links have expired.
Signing through a referral link gets you weekly and monthly extra bonus coins.
The setup is smooth
Though the setup is smooth and the browser loads fast however it takes time for the inbuilt node to get synchronized.
So in the meantime as the node gets synchronized let me explore some of the other features.
Try your luck with a decentralized lottery
The netbox project has another feature that may be attractive for those who are keen to try their luck and this is a in built decentralized lottery.
For the lottery industry which is growing at about 8% this may be a nice decentralized boost in the current uncertain economic times.
Perhaps it is in times like these that people are more inclined to try their luck at a game of chance or a lottery.
Bringing transparency to the lottery industry
Lotteries are centralized and lack transparency. This causes a lot of trust issues.
There is also the issue of protection of the identity of the winner.
Winning a lottery jackpot can get you the wrong type of attention so Netbox lottery offers a solution.
By way of a decentralized solution Netbox lottery runs day and bi monthly progressive jackpot lottery.
The Netbox lottery being a blockchain driven platform and removes any geographical restrictions which may arise due to the physical sale of tickets.
Here anyone can buy as many tickets irrespective of their geolocation and yet remain anonymous.
This would ensure the protection of the identity of the winner.
As a blockchain lottery solution it implements a blockchain based on a number of masternodes and PoS (Proof of Stake) in order to validate the lottery process.
This imparts impartiality and transparency to the lottery process and to the Masternode holders and staking participants it gives rewards for validating the transactions.
This becomes a source of passive income by way of staking your coins.
This is a win- win for the lottery industry as well the supporters of the project.
The current lottery of Netbox. Coins
Daily draw 9.00 GMT
Twice a month progressive Jackpot (1st and 15th of every month)
The NetBox coin NBX is listed on exchanges and it can be tracked here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/netbox-coin/markets
Stake and let your crypto grow
This is the main attraction for a lot of users to use the browser, earn coins and stake them to earn more
The ability to stake coins is not the only attraction
There is an inbuilt dApp store which would be an attraction for many.
Summary
It looks like an interesting concept though it needs to be seen as to what is the size of storage of the downloaded blockchain that would be require and the bandwidth it would consume.
Only time would tell if the rewards for surfing and staking the coins would be worth the resources shared.
Mobile users still would have to wait for a mobile version version.

I am using Brave browser to get BAT tokens and I am pretty pleased with it. But seeing other products on this niche is pretty great, thanks for sharing and maybe I will give it a try to Netbox browser.

Agree on that one @behiver brave is a sturdy and trusted browser for sure.
This can be like a second browser that one fires up and use to see how it works and what kind of returns it gives.
good article
the betting industry generates millions making it more transparent and reliable is something that has two effects the first is to attract more players and the second with more players more people to the crypto ecosystem
Yes @trabajosdelsiglo if done right it could help both the industries.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views.
i have tried that on my laptop but its looks very much laggy i dont know why ? maybe because it requires node to get synchorized.
umm so we need to wait for the mobile version. Btw have you withrawed the earnings ? i mean is it legit ?
The coin is listed coinmarket cap and looks legit though I have not withdrawn my earning yet as I was planning to stake and see how it grows.
Your concerns are genuine and you raise a valid point. Though I had checked their telegram and nobody seemed to raise the issue of non withdrawal
Regarding the laggy part: Yes it takes a long time for the entire node to get synched and slowly the storage space taken also grows.
So this is a trade off. Once the entire node is synched the performance improves : Though this would depend upon the internet bandwidth and the hardware of the computer.
So be careful if you are using a prepaid internet plan with limited data

Hi @bala41288
Thanks for stopping by
Quick question, how is this different from presearch?
My quick answer @alvinauh presearch pays you for the number of searches you make and there is a daily cap there.
This one would let you stake your coins to earn more, let you play a lottery plus they are working on a number of additional features like chat, storage, voting and much more.
Hope this info helps :)

How fast is the browser and what sort of income can an average user make? I have been quite happy with the speed and stability of Brave. It doesn't earn much but does all add up. I would need to be convinced I am not losing anything if I were to make a switch.
Yes @awah I also use the brave browser as I feel it is light weight and I have begin to trust it over time.
This new browser is relatively newer for me too so I am still researching it.
So my strategy is not to switch from browser but to keep both browsers.
So I can compare the performance over time. This one being a complete node surely takes longer to sync though the process happens in the background.
As I find more details over time I would keep you posted
