Trust and security in the Snap Store

  I've used (X)ubuntu for a long time. This paragraph: Evil, naive or interesting? And their conclusion that malware is not a bad thing. I will never install it again on a personal machine.

    Did you read that paragraph? I don't see anything wrong with it. Mining coins isn't illegal, and won't get you banned from the Ubuntu store. The developers point of view isn't valid, but that's their problem. I think most would agree mining on someone else's hardware without their permission is evil. Ubuntu's point of view is misrepresenting what you app does is grounds for removal, which I think is quite reasonable.

  >The first question worth asking, in this case, is whether the publisher was in fact doing anything wrong, considering that mining cryptocurrency is not illegal or unethical by itself. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
