It has already been done people will not like it.

Why would TPB even bother with shit like this when they can't even provide daily torrent backups of their site?
>>
>no mention that it rapes the CPU

lol everyone should block this shit
>>
>>62458640
stallman was right all along
>>
>>62458640
That's no problem, as you can directly get results for searches from it's database without even opening the site.

woah it was so hard

>Googlebot marks site as malicious
>Forced to remove miner
Guaranteed to happen so why bother the experiment?
>>
Is it even worthwhile to do this? Its limited to a few pages and the miner is limited to 1 core I believe plus CPU mining is slow as fuck anyway.
>>
>>62459843
I'm guessing it would be about as profitable as running ads, maybe a bit less. But at least you're not dependent on an ad company and you just get cash directly.
>>
>>62459858
It is actually not a bad idea, arguably better than ads at least. If utilization was capped to like 10% then it wouldn't be as annoying as it currently is.
>>
>>62459913
For a single site to use it maybe, but if it's actually a good idea then more sites would do it. In which case you'd only need 10 tabs to just rape your PC.
I also don't like the fact that they do it behind the scenes, it should ask you about using your PC for things that you don't visit the site for. But ads are also sneaky, so it's not really worse in that aspect.
>>
Can you use a graphics card to do this through javascript? Might be the next step up and what ultimately catches on with most sites.
>>
>>62459781
>Googlebot marks site as malicious
It already is, retard.
Not to mention, the real TPB isn't on Google, only proxies.
>>
What if this shit catches on with normal sites as well? This is awful
>>
>>62460447
Well adblockers can be used to block them so at least for now they're not really any more inconvenient than ads currently are.
>>
>Seems pretty interesting, maybe I'll add to some of my sites
>Sign up
>Oh they have a demo with their sign up form
>CPU spikes to 100%
>Ctrl + W
You gotta be kidding me.
>>
>>62459498
Perfect. It's too bad legal hawks are tracking literally every torrent on that site and harassing your ISP's into ass-raping you. And it's too bad that piracy is a vehicle for the FBI to impose their imperialist agenda onto other, sovereign nations and their citizens.
>>
>>62460530
>adblockers
Don't call them adblockers. Adblocker distracts from the real ethical issue of advertisements and the proliferation of malware. Call them content blockers.

Notwithstanding, at that point, it's technically a content blocker anyway, since you aren't even blocking advertisements. Everyone should use a content blocker like noscript or uMatrix
>>
>>62460654
>>62460530
People should use content blockers, just for the sake of exercising their right to controlling the code that they execute on THEIR computer.

You can't agree to something that you can't read. The only way to read their TOS would be by pre-emptively agreeing to them.

I might be dumb, but arent there far more people blocking java than ads at this point?

I think you're confused anon.

You want to know how I know you're underaged?

who the fuck blocks java?

Do tell.

"Who the fuck supports Java?" is a better question, nowadays.

4 by default

>>62459913
Even if it were capped to 0.1% it's still Malicious code.
>>
>>62460987
Anyone old enough to read Shakespeare knows that "yea" is an archaic term, and the word you wanted to use was "yeah". Unfortunately, your generation was raised on text messages.

well.. idk, since we're rapidly headed into a world where every fucking device has 64 cores or whatever, most of them doing nothing if you're browsing the web, maybe this is preferable to advertising.. normies phone batteries gonna get raped but meh

Yeah, fuck you TPB.

It's not your hardware to profit off of.
