To be clear, I have nothing against Coinhive. However, I do have a problem if you're using it to mine cryptocurrencies on random people's computers without their consent.

Hey guys, let me know what you think. Do you know any other ways of lowering the transaction fees?

I'd encourage anybody who's using crypto add networks to check your websites for potential malicious code.

Install an extension such as Minerblock and load your website.

I don't have any external scripts running apart from the one used by a well-known ad network, yet I was infected with a sneaky coinhive injection on this file: 'wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js'.

Please report your findings here. I won't disclose the network until we have more evidence.
