That seems like the worst of all worlds. Mining on a desktop computer just barely works, but I&#x27;ll be damned if I want my laptop&#x27;s fan to spin up all the time just so I can tip some web site. And I absolutely don&#x27;t want my mobile to die on me daily because the bitcoin mining drains the battery. And considering the current BTC price, I&#x27;d burn like $3 for every $1 gained.<p>Someone come up with a service where you push money to (so any security breach is limited to the $20 or whatever you keep there) and then have a browser plugin that reacts to a payment challenge (either HTTP 402 or some meta-tag) and presents me with a native chrome button that can&#x27;t be spoofed by site JS. And add a whitelisting option for something like The Guardian where I currently pay a monthly fee.
