Show HN: No Coin – A browser extension to block coin miners
Today I read that The Pirate Bay tested this new form of monetization (running a miner in you browser). I thought that might solve website monetization finally. We still have to figure out stuff like battery draining on mobile but it is the first step and I can buy some Monero which is well suited for JS/CPU mining (or in other words, it doesn't have a huge upside when mined on GPUs).<p>And what do I see here? That before it even started people are fighting it.<p>Found this solution better than ads and infinetely loading ad-tech JS files.
