And the world thought web miners were great. I actually got scoffed at the last time I voiced concern over the active development of CPU and WebCL web miners.

For now you can just block the script host, but as people start coding their own web miners, we'll be in for a real hassle...

I'm serious, who the hell decided it would be a good idea to embed hidden miners on every other bitcoin related web site?

You are causing visitors to leave your site and never return. Not to mention stealing their CPU power and electricity, or the increased risk of causing a fire, killing their cat & children.

Can anything be done against this monstrosity?

Got proof?

chrome that bad boy and inspect it

Ah, sorry. Only saw a 1% jump, probably because of noScript. Missed that in the source.
