Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

If I'm right then this is only a elevation of privileges attack known for at least 2 weeks. Unsinged Java app launching with all priviledges of signed app.

Disabling Java plugins in FF are best approach even without knows vulnerabilities. Did not use Java in browser even once in last 2 years.
