I understand this point. But on the other hand, it is not necessarily wasting cpu power. It is converting CPU power to payment for content, as a type of seamless micropayment, not requiring punching in credit card numbers, 3rd parties, setting up accounts etc. Some browser-based standardization of a unit of cycles per view might be established. I don't know, just exploring. The current state of the internet kind of sucks in terms of privacy.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoIt's wasting CPU/GPU cycles and battery power, vastly more than would be used for a simple micropayment with actual currency. I refuse to participate in the degradation of my devices' performance as "payment".
- SubiculumCode 9y agoMore than the current system of loading thousands of ad networks?
- KozmoNau7 9y agoSame same. I block ads with great prejudice and I'll block miners with equal prejudice. Both are a waste of my bandwidth, my battery power and my attention.
