Thinking about this, how long till ad blockers will also block these crypto mining scripts... it's not that different.

  Actually they're already blocking them. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/resource-abuse.txt https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/...

  There's been blacklists for them since The Pirate Bay started their trial with it, perhaps longer. Here's two: [1]: https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list [2]: https://github.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists https://github.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists

  I imagine the mining code can be transformed so that it will be hard to detect.

    That will decrease it's performance as well I suspect

  CoinHive now has the authedmine.com domain, and the scripts served from there only run with explicit and temporary user consent. No reason to block that, although I think some blockers are doing so anyway.
