What about mining cryptocurrency on a page load as a solution against scrapers?
- heipei 9y agoThat's like the people pushing Github PRs which will mine $coin in the CI process. But seriously, you can do that, but scrapers will have short timeouts anyway before they abandon the page or consider it loaded, so there's probably not much to be made in terms of profit.
- almost_usual 9y agoThere are companies that use PoW functions as a deterrent against scrapers. Similar but not mining Bitcoin exactly.
