>Once a user installs the app on their computer, it automatically harnesses a small amount of unused processing power to mine for cryptocurrency

  It defaults to 25% CPU usage (and appears to be an electron app). Which I would've placed as greater than small. https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/blob/401cb4f288d88a96f6116d5ef7e0648a538f641b/desktop/miner.js#L23 https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/blob/401cb4f288d88... Concede the point that users would be making an informed (albeit minimally) decision.

    That is false, it defaults to a maximum of 10% CPU usage, which I would've placed as small. https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/blob/401cb4f288d88a96f6116d5ef7e0648a538f641b/desktop/main.js#L35 https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/blob/401cb4f288d88...

      Awesome, 10% is small [though that miner is initially instantiated at 25% ;)]. Thanks for engaging in a friendly, respectful dialogue with links to source!
