FYI: On this site adblocker reports that site tries to run CC-mining code...



See https://virtuallyfun.com/2017/12/15/thinking-about-doing-som...

The miner thing is on the right sidebar, won't mine until you actually authorize it to run.


It doesn't run automatically. I thought it was an interesting experiment as a 'tip jar' type thing. No I really don't expect to make even $0.01 but it's more so to gauge if anyone would actually click the button.

It may load the mining thing, but you have to hit the button, and even then it runs for something like 5-10 seconds.

I hate ads, but I thought stuff like this was an interesting alternative.
