Hard to take this seriously with a mistake right on the front page:

> It's the cheapest miner on the market: 85% to you - 15% to Coinerra

A rapid search turns up crypto-loot.com with 88% payout. That said, it's good to see more actors in this space. Just please get your facts straight!

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.

I don't see the problem as long as you warn your users before making them explicitly start the miner to receive stuff.

So this takes 15% fee vs 30% for Coinhive. With almost non-existant barrier to entry, it seems like commission would be driven down to what traditional mining pool cuts (1% or less)

This doesn't have an API though so I don't really understand how you would use it for rewards. With Coinhive you can verify the number of solved hashes per user server-side.

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.

> You are running Vue in development mode. haha Anyways, it's time for a miner blocker browser plugin I guess, this sucks!

It only sucks if you use it without user-consent. Sadly a lot of sites probably will, which is why a blocker sounds reasonable.
