@twoupfour This is plausible. Can't imagine this being company sanctioned.

@ryanaraine It's becoming more common. Some think it'll replace advertising as a revenue stream. (I wrote it up a bit on my Patreon a short while back.)

@violetblue With adequate disclosure, some might opt to trade CPU cycles for content. It sure is a business model, shaky af but still...

@ryanaraine “oh you got AdBlock on, well then we gonna coinhive in your browser to monetize page views”

@ryanaraine Very interesting. Got time for a quick chat?

@ryanaraine Cool! Violent cryptomining. They won't need advertising anymore.

@ryanaraine @AkadoSang sneaky bastards! :D

@ryanaraine @Cryptopathic @joerogan @Staffyjuice19

@slinafirinne @ryanaraine Good spot, cheers.

@ryanaraine They have to pay mcgregor somehow

@ryanaraine website admin did it secretly :D

@ryanaraine @motomatters @lesault this is sneaky :)

@bad_packets @slinafirinne @ryanaraine Me too

@bad_packets @thomaskerin @ryanaraine @violetblue @googledevs Tbh forced cryptocoin mining as biz model is actually less exploitative than advertising/surveillance capitalism

@ryanaraine When i open coinhive here my notebook starts to prepare for take off. It sounds like an airplane.

@ryanaraine @Cryptopathic that is an injected script..sad to say its ur pc(cpu/gpu) that is being used for mining

@ryanaraine @willstraf Explains why it’s so gd slow :(

@ryanaraine How do you detect this? Manually or automatically?

@ryanaraine Considering the host, the culprit might be used like dog fighters use bait dogs!

@ryanaraine PAYpay per view
