Pickaxe Coinhive Miner for Chrome v0.5.2 defers extension restart when fail to load Coinhive JS library.

When you connected to Starbucks wifi but not logged in yet. Pickaxe sees internet connection but not Coinhive JS library. It will try to reload everything which cause Chrome to shut it down. v0.5.2 now restart only once a minute, fixing the problem.

Depends on what cryptocurrency you want to mine and your use case:

If you want to mine Monero on website visitors' browser, use coinhive.com or its alternative.

If you want to mine Monero on website your browser, use Pickaxe (chrome extension):

However, as stated in many comments above, mine through JS on browsers is slow, nearly non-profitable.

Cryptocurrency should be transparent. So does the mining tools. This Chrome extension(https://cnhv.co/asvu) will always tell you who you are mining for.

Features:

 - Always tell you who you are mining for
 - Immutable from other ad blocker extensions
 - Automatically pause/resume when internet offline/connected
 - Use official Coinhive JavaScript miner library (https://cnhv.co/ax6k) directly
 - Mine for second user

You shouldn't trust a random developer on the web, i.e: me!

 1. Check the source code
 2. Verify the extension source code hosted on Chrome web store is the same on GitHub (Tips: Use http://crxextractor.com)
