Coin-mining Malware

Pirate Bay has been doing something like this for a long time. I think there's actually an opportunity here. I won't go any further because I'm actually exploring the legality of it and contemplating doing it.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

You could just use a plugin like noscript to prevent coinhive from running since it is written in JavaScript. Anyways I find it a stretch to call it malware in many scenarios (Unless some site had been infected by another group) since a few sites are doing this by design. Most only run from within your browser and end after leaving the website anyways.

Could this stop you mining?

Did you mean "Could you stop this mining?" then yes. If you meant would this stop people from mining then no.

Solid adblockers will put an end to this as well
