The couple of coin hive mining pages I’ve stumbled on don’t take “minimal” resources, I have watched chrome jump from 1.5GB of ram usage to 8GB in a matter of seconds because of these things.
I’m sure if they were upfront and the mining was limited to 1-200MB of resources I could probably ignore it but when you go and lock up my pc because you want money, I draw the line. -
@Alice premium snapchat sounds cool, now I feel less offended
So I saw an article where in the author mentioned that "how will we earn money when there are so many adblock users, indirectly blocking out income, so we had to take some measures and that how we initiated coinhive on our websites, where in, it uses minimal cpu power for coin mining of every user that visits that webpage"
WTF, saying minimal, some users commented their saying they experienced sudden over usage of cpu cores and rise in temps while visiting the websites.
How do you justify such behavior, I feel kinda biased as I feel bad for them, but on the other hand, they just shouldn't rely on writing articles as a job/source of income
