Coinhive – First Week Status Report

Thank you for your report + thank you for all your hard work! We are at 1.24 G (with you) and counting!

I agree for compulsory user consent to mine however, this should be only compulsory for web owners having throttle greater than 0.5 for desktops and for all throttle rates for mobile devices. Anything less than 0.5 throttle on desktops should be allowed to run anonymously. My two cents!

Great service indeed, and an alternate revenue stream for website owners.

Hello there, jumping in the conversation as I am one of the early adopter.

This is how I implemented it on my side project Thread Reader. See an example on: https://tttthreads.com/t/907445479826448385 bottom of the page

My implementation use 1 thread max with 35% of the CPU max. I've done it this way because it is what I'm ready to give as an user

Also it does not start (and show a Paypal donate instead) if:

- you are on a mobile device (tested with user agent)

- you are on battery (tested with the browser.getBattery API)

If the miner starts: you get an info box at the bottom of the page, with an user accessible explanation (should be understandable by anyone) and a STOP button (that stop it for 90 days)

Also before using the miner I took some time to communicate about it, even if I did not get much user feedback (I use my project twitter account to do so)

If you get the Paypal donate box it means that the script decided not to start the miner for some reason.
