At first i was mildly disgusted, but as i read it made more sense. As long as theyre transparent about it and not going crazy absolutely crippling cpus, im all for this as a replacement for intrusive advertising. In a way, instead of paying the site with your attention, youre paying with a minisculy higher electricity bill.
Hey, as long as I can torrent old abandonware games without being flooded with dumb porn ads, I'm cool with it.
Well, that's pretty interesting, if nothing else. I wouldn't want it taking up my CPU when I'm doing other stuff (which is pretty much all the time), but it's a very interesting concept.
I wouldn't be opposed to seeing other sites taking this approach if running the miner was optional. Track how mining any given users do, and give them benefits as if they had donated once they generate a certain amount of money.
