Earn bitcoin while blocking trackers like GA and Mixpanel

Trakkin is a browser extension that obscures personal data being tracked by companies using Google Analytics and Mixpanel. Companies see a request for bitcoin in their GA/MP dashboard instead. When they pay you with bitcoin, the data will flow like normal.

@jarlmeese It should be supported world wide. What country are you in? What errors are you seeing?

@jarlmeese @dylanbathurst How you doing Dylan. I believe we spoke via twitter and managed to pinpoint the error. I'm in Norway.

I built trakkin as part of the blockstack #cantbeevil hack-a-thon. As a software engineer, I've implemented tracking software like Google Analytics and Mixpanel many times over the years, and I also used ad/tracking blockers because I know just how much data is being collected about me through these trackers. Then I realized a few things all at once: 1. People should be paid for this valuable data 2. Companies will never voluntarily start paying for data themselves 3. Bitcoin is the perfect medium of exchange for this data So I built trakkin to allow users to anonymize themselves while simultaneously requesting bitcoin from the websites they visit in exchange for their browsing data. There is also a network effect to trakkin. The more people using it, the more companies will notice the requests for bitcoin in their analytics dashboards, and be more convinced to start paying users' data! Please check out the extension and let me know in the comments how we can improve trakkin!

This is an interesting way to determine what people value their analytics data, since they can make the choice to block it or earn crypto. Great work :)

Thanks @itsarnavb, while currently trakkin only allows for earning, I'm building in the ability to completely block as well. I'm also thinking about how I could allow certain types of data, say email addresses, to be more valuable than others like a click or pageview. Also about how I can use encryption to enable users to be forgotten after some period of time. All of these features will allow users to have even the maximum amount of control over their own data!

Login doesn't work when using brave. But great app. Also can you make sure that when u login that it stays login. I don't want to keep logging in everytime I open my browser.
