Gotta fight fire with fire, if Adblockers are on the rise then how will websites run?

All for it! Good to see, but will make Monero progressively more difficult as CoinHive's popularity keeps expanding.

Yeah i really don't get adblockers or miningblockers. It seems like people are just being greedy with their computers. Is it really so bad to GIVE a website, from whom you are TAKING information from, some of your computing power? or perhaps some adspace on your screen? Granted that some people really abuse ads and post a shit-ton of them, greed is all i see.

Hey,

Ahrefs is a complete backlinks analysis tool, it uses big data to do data analysis. I saw today a report that shows the amount of sites that are mining crypto through scripts.

The vast majority of scripts are from Coinhive




The survey looked at 175 million domains and found 23,872 websites running these scripts
