Why is this shit not illegal?

Why are ads not illegal?
Same question.

If you are that bothered by it, just block it.

fuck off statist faggot. don't like it - don't visit sites using it. stop crying for state regulation.

ill still visit them while noCoin is enabled

:-^)

Because by using JavaScript you give other people the rights to use your computer as they see fit :^)

>what is noScript/uMatrix

Coin hive impairs my computer by gaining unauthorised access to system resources.

So it’s illegal.

>People bitch about ads and block them, so sites can't make enough money to support operations
>Sites find new way to unobtrusively generate revenue using crypto mining, people still bitch over false accusations and misunderstadings over how the tech works, blocks it.
>Sites put up paywalls, people bitch and bypass them.

It's just using JavaScript, nothing illegal. That's how JS works, allows code to be run (executed) on your processor.

No it fucking doesn't, CoinHive uses less system resources than your average webpage loaded with ads. Sites actually run faster when the script is in uses versus dozens of ads. Stop pulling bullshit out of your ass and slinging it everywhere.

Hello Coinhive Evangelism Team

No way, I'm not for it. But it's not doing anything any other JS code can do. If a script wants to use 100% of your CPU (maybe its broke) there's nothing stopping the browser from allowing it.

Bullshit. I unblocked it on the test page and my CPU went crazy.

It uses 99% of the CPU of running 24 ads, it's so lightweight!

Then it’s a malicious script which impairs the operation of my computer if it does so.

If you buy a processor twice as powerful it'll only use 50%.

It's a malware that steal money from you without your consent by wasting electricity. Therefore, consent should be asked. Or else it's litteraly RAPE.

>Ads
>JS miner
pick one and ONLY one. If you MUST use both, no JS, video, or interactive ads

That is not how it works and you know it, please stop.

This applies to ads too, though. So the question is, does visitng a web page imply consent for third-party monetising services to run on your machine? Or does it not?

For that matter, does trying to view information on a webpage imply consent to download and run 10MB of javascript frameworks that are completely unrelated to the actual content I wish to view?

>If you buy a processor twice as powerful it'll only use 50%.

>He doesn't block JS.

...

Modern browsers detect script load and will ask the user if they want to stop the script hogging resources. Doesn't it do that for this particular script? I suspect it does if using 100%

If the script is properly using async, then it is easy to bypass that restriction because browsers only detect scripts that stop page loading etc.

Ah good to know, thanks
