Let's say I want to make an application and I would like to earn something ( just something, even symbolic) but I hate ads and I don't see donation a realistic approach. Is shipping a miner with the app such a (((jew))) move o something acceptable?
Obviously:
> I will say clearly that there is a miner
> It will running only when the application is running
> It will be easy to turn off
I also want to say that I don't know much about cryptocurrency so maybe I'm missing something and the while idea is not applicable

Get it sponsored instead.
"MyApp - Sponsored by BizCo" on the splash screen
>>
>>60963767
you will be blacklisted forever, and be known as the guy that tried to put a miner in the program
>>
>>60963850
Why ? Is it illegal?
>>
Yeah go for it. uTorrent been doing that for the last like 4 years and literally no normie ever batted an eye on this.

Not illegal, but massively dickish. Great way to have your name be blacklisted by many communities and have no one download your malware
>>
>>60964680
How can be considered a malware if it is explicitly stated and can you easily turn it off? Have you read what I wrote?

It will be known as malware for having a miner in it by default
If its FOSS then someone will just fork it without the miner at all and that fork will become more popular
If its proprietary no one will believe that you can actually turn it off so they just won't download it
If you want to make a program and make money off of it just make a phone gayme with micro-transactions
Doing anything remotely like that for a desktop program is retarded
This >>60963811 would probably be the best idea, but no one would really agree to be a sponsor until the program is already fairly popular
>>
>>60963767
Just make the user pay for the app.

that's literally what Microsoft did with windows 10.

>>60963767
you wouldn't even earn a fraction of the money you would earn through ads and you'll also be causing unnecessary wear and tear on your clients hardware which will decrease usage.

All adware clearly says it's adware if you read the EULA. Try it and see.

To clarify, I meant a desktop application

?
>>60967833
I obviously meant something else, like a fucking big red button that shows "stop mining"
