I don't understand how their javascript based miner is feasible. Mining bitcoins with a CPU is an extremely futile endeavor, and on top of that, it is implemented in asm.js. Even with thousands of workers, GPU and ASIC mining is anywhere from hundreds to over a MILLION MH/S while modern cpus top out at 20 with most around 5. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

It seems more like a proof of concept, not something meant to be feasible.

  Then it seems strange that they would be subpoenaed for something that didn't really do anything.

    Yes. That's one reason people are so angered here.
