Replacing Ad-Income With Cryptocurrency Mining

For the most part, accessing users’ computing power to mine cryptocurrencies has been of a malicious nature. Mining programs can even be integrated into malware that affects computers without the owner's knowledge. However, it’s generally easy to tell when this has happened because mining cryptocurrencies will take almost all the computing power of a normal computer, causing all other functions to run extremely slowly. Recently the torrent website The Pirate Bay has stated they will use visitors' processing power to mine crypto in order to replace the revenue lost by taking advertisements off the website. A disclaimer was added to the homepage: "by entering TPB you agree to [XMR] being mined using your CPU. If you don't agree please leave now or install an adBlocker." Another example of this voluntary process was actually used for a good cause. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) asks users to leave their page open to mine, but proceeds are given to the charity.
