RE: The Rise of Cryptojacking

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Personally I would rather approve a script that mines crypto for the profitier as opposed to displaying actual ads. The problem lies in that not all scripts need be approved. Crypto mining without the users consent is 100% theft. I seem to recall an app that was removed from the Apple platform for exploiting just that. It was secretively mining crypto in the background as a way of offsetting the displaying of ads. So long as the consumer knowingly consents to this process all is well however this app had it enabled by default with no clarification with the user. I believe that it’s up to the developer to decide on how to monitize their work. However, their particular means of monitization need to be made clear with the end user and receive consent beforehand. Excellent post, thanks for sharing!
