L1T - Monero Crypto Funding

[dot404]

Similarly to how that bay with the black flag has recently experimented with funding themselves with the crypto currency Monero, can L1T’s do the same? I would be 100% okay with L1T using approx 20% of my CPU to mine while the page was open. Even better, it could be an opt-in under settings somewhere.

I can’t be the first to bring this up. If so, cool. Thoughts?

Soo, thepiratebay is secretly mining Monero on the visitors machines. Not the best way to introduce a new business model based on a great technology. Monero for those who don’t know is a cryptocurrency that uses the Cryptonight algorithm to mine Monero, which unlike Bitcoins and Ethereums algorithms also works relatively efficient on CPUs. Since this forum has a lot of concurrent visitors i figured that it could definitely benefit L1. So my suggestions is: Give members the opportunity to opt in to mine Monero while visiting the forum. All members who agreed could be rewarded the “Level 1 Supporter” badge. thepiratebay does it via this javascript tool: https://coin-hive.com/

So, I must have read that thread. Ha! For sure, use the search feature before posting. Total noob/boob move on my part. Thank you for calling me out.

They use CryptoNote and I’m pretty sure The Pirate Bay does it involuntarily without your knowledge which is why I do not use their site anymore. Also because they support Bitcoin and not Bitcoin Cash and they use the derogatory term for it which I find to be extremely rude and Roger Ver would not approve.

My initial though it to ask if you’re already a Patreon supporter. There’s already a way that you can give Level1Techs some money if you want to. Are you availing yourself of it?
