I'm against automatically mining on people's computers, but I think it's interesting as an opt-in: click this button to run the miner for a fixed amount of time in return for {posting a comment, attempting a login, etc}.

Since I'm also generally against javascript, ideally the code would open-source and it could be verified that it doesn't do anything malicious...
