I suspect that sites trying to do this sort of thing might quickly find themselves at the top of hostile domain lists as similarly happened to all those sites that embedded crypto miners a couple years ago. At the very least the scripts will soon be in the blocklists for ad blocker extensions if they’re not already.
It’s cool tech, I’m sure, but using visitors’ resources for the site’s own benefit like this will probably not go over well in the long term.
- grun 5y agoWe designedly built Arc to be the antipode of cryptominers. See https://arc.io/faq#is-arc-a-cryptominer https://arc.io/faq#is-arc-a-cryptominer. =] Arc plays nicely with adblocks. And users are always presented (via Arc's graphical widget that sites can't hide) the option to learn about Arc and opt out in two clicks/taps if they so choose.
