  1. CoinHive defaults to using 40% or less of your CPU. If your computer freaks out at 40% load you have problems.

  4. it's amazing how many people don't know what a test flight is for.

  5. but a meter is a lot more than a foot -- if they had used metric, it would have landed even farther away.

  10. Re:And nobody with a life gave a shit. on 'King of Kong' Billy Mitchell Stripped Of Donkey Kong Record For Emulator Cheating (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    the tagline for this website is literally "news for nerds" you stupid ignorant dipshit.

  11. which means his scores are invalid. it also means he's a cheat and a liar. why on earth would you defend this piece of shit?

  12. actually what it proves is that he has LIED for YEARS about how he achieved those scores, and went to an awful lot of trouble to conceal it.

    the onus is always on the player to prove they achieved those scores. using an emulator makes it trivially easy to cheat, so it therefore removes any shred of "proof" that a video of him playing would have otherwise provided.

    you would think over time people would become less gullible, not more.

    and sure, if you train an AI long and hard enough, it will probably be able to tickle out something that looks like meaning from that nonsense. just like if you train an AI to see dogs, it can identify weird dogs in literally any image.

    you can definitely break the workload into small chunks that only take a few seconds.

    multiply all those small hashrates by tens of thousands of pageviews, and you start pulling in quite a respectable ROI. The hard part is finding a Monero pool that doesn't ban you for making tens of thousands of tiny connections.

  21. Re:Good idea, actually on Now Even YouTube Serves Ads With CPU-draining Cryptocurrency Miners (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    you list about four costs that probably add up to a penny or two per hour, particularly if the mining javascript has its intensity set below 40%, which was the default last time i checked.

    you aren't being paid because the idea is YOU are paying a tiny microfee (in the form of an advertisement, or in this case a minor uptick in your cpu usage) for access to the content you are viewing.

    i implemented a Monero JavaScript on a website i run, but it was an option that was DISABLED by default, and my users could voluntarily opt-in if they felt like donating some CPU cycles to me. It was 100% transparent and voluntary. A few did.

    not quite literally non-existent ... just so close to non-existent, that it has no bearing whatsoever on reality, other than a bunch of fearmongering, racist laws that in practicality do nothing other than suppress votes of minorities and marginalized groups.

    haha so much sour grapes from missing out. sorry for you. bitcoin mining has been paying for all my family's meals, groceries, entertainment, and other expenses for months now. :)

    sorry your sad, short-sighted arrogant opposition to things you don't understand has resulted in you missing so much investment opportunity, but that's no reason to take it out on those more fortunate than you. :)
