It seems yes. From the website: What is this site? Part social experiment, part desperate attempt to pay for grad school. My dream school will likely cost around $100,000. I have set a goal of mining 1,000 Monero (with your help!) to cover this cost. The site was inspired by The Million Dollar Homepage, which itself was a (very successful) project to pay for the owner’s university education. This project is also a take on the new ways sites are trying to monetize their content. Similarly to how The Million Dollar Homepage was entirely a site of ads, turning the model of ad-supported content on its head, this site is entirely dedicated to mining.
