So uh... your computer might be being used for bitcoin mining, and you might not even know it. How do you feel about this? Do you consider the site freeloading off your computer's processing power?

    I rather have a proper setup is miner that uses 40% CPU instead of ads to be honest

    If they tell me and decide not to show adverts then yeah why not, a site has to make money some how

    From where are you? In Germany we have to pay massive bills for energy.

    Another problem is, that you have to charge your smartphone really often.
    They really often use the max CPU power for mining.
