1. The problem is the bot needs to understand the program it is running to do that. Akin to the halting problem.
2. There is no money in mining on the kinda hardware scrapers will run on. Power costs more that they'd earn.
- immibis 1y agoRealistically, the bot owner could notice you're running MoneroAnubis and then would specifically check for MoneroAnubis, for example with a file hash, or a comment saying /* MoneroAnubis 1.0 copyright blah blah GPL license blah */. The bot wouldn't be expected to somehow determine this by itself automatically. Also, the ideal Monero miner is a power-efficient CPU (so probably in-order). There are no Monero ASICs by design.
- nssnsjsjsjs 1y agoI doubt you could do this efficiently enough such that an mining-business optimised mining rig can be kept busy enough with web-scraped honey pots to be worth the think time of setting it up vs. just scrape and skip pow protected sites + dedicated crypto mining operation as 2 seperate things.
