I don't see the problem as long as you warn your users before making them explicitly start the miner to receive stuff.
That feels like the problem to me--there's no incentive for a website to do so instead of simply mining without the user's consent.

The serious use case for these miners is that you have some kind of incentive for your users to mine, not just have it mine randomly in the background. I guess it works for pure donations but take a look at "Use Cases" on the front page for a couple of examples of what I mean.
Almost as bad as the 'subscribe' popup nonsense way too many websites have.

I'm sure it's been covered to death already, but wow, this really ought to kill user's batteries. I'm not sure how I feel about this concept.
If I could generate credits when I'm plugged in on my laptop, then use those credits later from my mobile, I wouldn't have to worry about battery.
Even better, if I could generate credits over-night when energy is cheapest - maybe I'd have enough credits to browse the internet ad-free the next day while supporting the creatives/content-producers.
