Just visit http://www.cristianoronaldo.com/ and pay attention to your cpu workload.




ROFL.

Wow cool. I'm going to mine for a while on this guys behalf. If he has success with this he may start spreading the good word.

Just visit -infected site- and pay attention to your cpu workload.

I clicked on your link and my antivirus said it was infected with JSMiner.

If my CPU and/or GPUs are going to mine coins, I'd rather get them myself.

That will become the next pest on internet, worse than just ordinary household virusses

I see this javascript mining as a good alternative to ads. can not be worse than these stupid flash banners or autoplaying videos with audio

[jbreher]

I mean really.... Can you at least agree that we are somewhere on the lower end of a fraction of a percentage of world adoption, and just imagine first of all getting to a point of 1% adoption might take some time. 

The important vision is ubiquity of Bitcoin. As for me, I am working toward that vision.

If there are 7 billion people in the world, then 1% would be 70 million using bitcoin in some kind of way... Are we even close to that? 

Obviously not. It would take about 280 days to make 70 million transactions on today's Bitcoin Core. Over a month on Bitcoin Cash, which is still too long, but nearly an order of magnitude better. Because big blocks.

I don't see it as a good alternative to ads. Malware is malware, plain and simple.

I agree almost nothing can be worse than annoying autoplaying flash videos with audio. It's one of the worst forms of malware.

I've tried to avoid autoplaying videos by not upgrading my flash player so that Firefox doesn't start it automatically and I have to manually allow it to start. This often helps but many ads still autostart.

Another annoyance is videos that re-position themselves on-screen when you mute the sound and scroll them out of sight.

I suppose advertising does serve a purpose in that it lets you know what products to boycott, but at times it gets so infuriating that I want to actively badmouth the products.

Does anyone know of a good ad blocker that targets this annoying malware?

Use Chrome as a browser, it's better than Firefox and doesn't even support Flash any more

You can get the "No Coin" extension that will block CoinHive scripts from running:

give "uBlock Origin" a try

oh oh do tell how block increases helps on boarding the world? Would you mind doing a simple math on how big your blocks should be for every person in the world to do just one transaction on chain per day? I'll wait

About 25G.

Clearly that's way too big, what's the solution, L2?

[jbreher]

To split your coins
On BTC chain you have some coins in address (A), you send your coins to another address you own (B), and include a further special recipient address 3Bit1xA4apyzgmFNT2k8Pvnd6zb6TnwcTi  to whom you send a few satoshis. (You have to use send to many option in your wallet, to send them at once).
Any transactions that contain this special address will be ignored by 2X miners.
Once this is successful, you will have your BTC in an address(B) you own.

IIUC, I would not employ this mechanism for my coins. The part that I have underlined seems to require full faith in what the miners will do. You have no a priori method of knowing whether that address will 'be ignored' by any miner.

[jbreher]

So if we want to use the Bitcoin blockchain now we have to send two txs at once, one real one and one spam. That right?

No. ivomm is describing a single transaction with one additional output.

I rather prefer the mechanism of making your transaction include an input that was the output of a post-fork transaction.

Yes, it's a policy, miners could ignore the policy and include the transaction.
But if you are sending coins to your own addresses, and they break policy and include the transaction in a block, there is no harm done.

Today, clearly. At some point where we might actually achieve ubiquity? Probably not.

what's the solution, L2?

L2 is probably part of the solution. But there is no known L2 technology that can achieve this scale unless larger blocks is also part of the solution.

Bitcoin don't have advertising.
Only a controlled supply.

And it's enough.

And be prepared for this friday ... miners have ordered a stucked MEMpool (mud fees).

No, this is not correct. Transactions to that address are will be considered invalid by 2x nodes & miners; A block containing them would be invalid and not be built upon.
