Check who runs CoinHive, check Coinhive Site Key + Stats/Traffic and expose JavaScript Miner and CryptoJacker.

Today webmasters have the possibility to place code on their website to mine crypto currencies with your computer power. This leads to a high bill from your electricity supplier.

We are here to inform you, because we think it should be transparent to the website's visitor if he wants that, or not. Fair play!

So the list of offenders contains only those sites that run Coinhive in the background so the visitor is unaware?

[Note that the 'h' in Coinhive is lowercase, perhaps fix that on your site. Also, the site's title should be Who runs Coinhive? and the text above the domain entry field should read Let's Expose!]

are the offenders not listed as link for a reason? I just saw TUI and i wonder if thats TUI.com for example.

Also great idea! May also make a Twitter bot to blame them (maybe try to use meta tags to @ them even, when availble)

This practice really sucks, and is just yet another reason to enforce Adblockers on users.

Edit:// Oh btw, what about coinerra.com and other related services?

When it was first posted, the list contained full URLs. I assume the OP removed the TLD to keep the list from being completely open source, perhaps to monetize it.

I see, that kind of makes it way less helpful for the general internet tho. IMO its fair to public shame anyone doing this.

The domain names have been removed to protect the website visitors. Some of the websites deliver malware and so on and i guess its partially not so good to link to these sites directly!? What do YOU think? I think this guy is crazy: http://whorunscoinhive.com/coinhive_id/FGZZeDbNg5AMpILuz8fKW...

This one guy running tons of adult sites ranking on Alexa...

WhoRunsCoinhive is a nonprofit website... The links are removed because in some regions its not allowed to link to illegal ressources... But i guess in case these are big alexa domains its not hard to findout the domain names :)

Ah, that makes sense. Perhaps people could gain access to the full list with TLDs somehow? I was thinking that it would be useful for maintainers of blocklists for Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin and so on.
