Sneak miners
This is an interesting way to gain monies without advertising. Easily blocked if you know how but also much easier to miss like traditional adverts. The web needs to fund itself somehow and ads are now pretty much blocked by default.

But there's others.
There's a huge load of non-tech savvy users that will be non the wiser to this, as we well know. At least with ads you can physically see something. It's an interesting debate though, how can the web fund itself?

20-30% of your CPU will get used by this!?
It's not like I needed that anyway, for I dunno, making the fucking computer do anything? Your processor doesn't run that hot in the majority of top/modern computer games.
