Piratebay mines with your CPU

JS miner will be easily detected and unblocked in future. For me, Miner captcha is a game changer because people will be clicking on that willingly (in exchange of a service or a product you offer) and this will be the smoothest way of contribute a website you like/use.

Okay, I will eat my words and disagree myself in a couple of minutes :)

I tried their basic captcha with 1024 hashes, which makes 0.000000159999 XMR = 0.0000149211 USD
According to this calculation, 100.000 captcha solving will make you earn 1.49 USD in total. Plus, with my i5 laptop, it was more time consuming to solve this captcha than Google's captcha. What a revolutionary way of monetizing your content! :)

It's true and it's pretty easy to solve. Just block the miner website coin-hive using the browser, windows firewall, your antivirus firewall, router or what ever way you prefer.

This will stop the mining without losing any functions in the website. Moreover, it will save you from the script running in any other website.

Turning any software into a miner isn't good longterm model. People would uninstall. Mining slows normal computers to halt, uses a lot of power, increase chance of PSU failure, damage components. If you don't want to push computer 100%, it would earn virtually nothing. Not a new concept, but interesting one.

Mining can damage notebook computers too. Most notebooks are simply not built to be run at 100% CPU for long periods of time.

What about getting running at less than 100%? Something that would still allow the user to perform basic computing activities without lagging.
 
Tbh I don't get why they even bother.
They're earning next to nothing doing this.
 
many sites for free movie streaming doing this too for long time

And how is that working out for them? Do they limit how much resources the miner use? Because without limits and the miner running, i hardly believe that the users can play a movie (especially in high resolution) flawlessly via their browsers.

“Note: Initially there was a small typo so all CPU for a client was used. This should be corrected now so only 20-30% should be used. Also it is restricted to run in one tab only so even if you have 10 tabs oven it will only be running in 1.”

Exactly what I mentioned before in the thread, they should be using less CPU so most users can still use their computers effectively. Although I am not quite sure it was a "typo".
 
that's so weird. I'm not pirating that much these days but that's so silly from them
 
I just don't know how much will they earn. I think that all mining thing - sucks
 
I know that. But there is no way to do mining if you dont invest at least 10-30k of $$$ so for regullar person it all sucks
 
Na didnt have this problem, tried scanning your computer?
