Monero JavaScript Miner – First Week Status Report
- Casseres 9y agoThe page title is Monero JavaScript Mining. A more accurate title would be "Coinhive WebAssembly Miner Peaked at 5% of Global Monero Hash Rate". Mods, would it be possible to change that? It's definitely not 5% of the whole blockchain.
- thisisit 9y agoJust wondering what is stopping coin-hive from making it mandatory for all their customers or website owners to ensure end user consent is required? They can add it within their ToS. Currently "We hope we can convince website owner to integrate the miner in a way that is more meaningful and honest to their users." sounds quite insincere.
- micaeked 9y agoFrom the post, seems like they want to try a technological solution for v2. There are some benefits that make that attractive. I'm guessing the main reason is that this way they don't need a lot of humans to manually review every site for compliance.
- thisisit 9y agoManual review is the 2nd step of the process. First they need to add it in their ToS before anyone can be reviewed for compliance. I am sure they might have their reasons for not doing it but their response currently is rather insincere about handling this issue.

- micaeked 9y agoWow, the quality of those comments is incredibly bad.
- franciscop 9y agoThat is exactly why I discontinued https://comments.network/ https://comments.network/ , a service to embed HN comments in your page; because HN and HN users thought it might lower the comment quality.
