It can be any other altcoins which can cpu mine and then exchange for bitcoin. Op still has a point. We have seen new computers preinstalled with miner so why not in cracked software.

I think people that dont realize that their computer is used as a bot army to mine, deserve that. How you cant sense slowness if big part of your CPU is used?

Not only that but CPU/GPU mining is horribly inefficient (using a computer to mine) when compared to what an ASIC can produce. For example a 1 TH ASIC will produce ~.014 BTC per day (or roughly $5.51 per day). By comparison your average laptop computer will be able to mine at a rate of ~20 kh/s. You would need 50 of these computers to mine at 1 mh/s. You would need 1,000 mh/s in order to equal one gh/s (so far you need 50,000 computers to mine 1 gh/s). You would need 1,000 gh/s in order to mine at a rate of 1 th/s. This works out to 50,000,000 computers that can mine at a rate of 20 kh/s each in order to make ~$5.50 per day. Do you really think this would be worth a hacker's time? I certainly do not |
