are the offenders not listed as link for a reason? I just saw TUI and i wonder if thats TUI.com for example.

Also great idea! May also make a Twitter bot to blame them (maybe try to use meta tags to @ them even, when availble)

This practice really sucks, and is just yet another reason to enforce Adblockers on users.

Edit:// Oh btw, what about coinerra.com and other related services?

When it was first posted, the list contained full URLs. I assume the OP removed the TLD to keep the list from being completely open source, perhaps to monetize it.
WhoRunsCoinhive is a nonprofit website... The links are removed because in some regions its not allowed to link to illegal ressources... But i guess in case these are big alexa domains its not hard to findout the domain names :)
Ah, that makes sense. Perhaps people could gain access to the full list with TLDs somehow? I was thinking that it would be useful for maintainers of blocklists for Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin and so on.
yes that makes sense indeed. how could that get implemented so that users are not able to click/move to that site but Orgs like Adblock Plus and Co can access them?
Makes totally sense now. Sorry for coming to wrong conclusions. Maybe make a "hidden API" where people need to contact you first and consent to receiving potential harmful links.
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe the list could be emailed to vetted people. I expect you'll be contacted by the relevant parties if they feel the list would be useful.
I see, that kind of makes it way less helpful for the general internet tho. IMO its fair to public shame anyone doing this.
