- remexre 6y agoThat's part of my concern, though since scripts can use the CPU arbitrarily, they could already mine on the CPU. A larger concern is bugs like [0], since GPU drivers are highly complex and highly privileged code.

- shadowtime2000 6y agoYeah that could happen. There was some discussion about a permission in the Discord though, but I don't think it was ever added or thought about on GH.

- girvo 6y agoWithout the net permission to their server, mining wouldn’t achieve much, no? I might be missing something obvious though
