I actually wouldn't mind if someone made a application that would run on my computer and mine for sites I choose 24/7. Something easy like Minergate or Nicehash but where you say mine for Metafilter, Reddit, and Ars.

I would totally do that since it is 26ºF right now and I am actually mining a shitcoin to heat my apartment. But you would need to have a easy to set a limit like 10% and back off (nice -19) so if I was doing heavy stuff it would throttle.

edit :: and I know minergate steals hashes. But the software is really nice.
