This site has a js miner.

hi. would you consider js mining as a replacement for ads a bad thing (assuming from your response), maybe even shady?

would appreciate any additional feedback. thank you.

I am not against this practice the problem is that the corporate network is detecting that script as a trojan.
In fact, here's some more additional feedback for you. What you're doing is just about the most fucking unethical thing I have ever heard. I genuinely hope that nobody trusts you with their personal financial data.
awesome. thank you. imo nobody should trust anybody with their personal financial data, so seems appropriate.
I think it's sketchy as hell and frankly, I'm pissed. It's absolutely inexcusable that I had to read that the site mines XMR in your footer.
thank you. would you consider it less sketchy if you could opt-in/out of the XMR miner?
