Re: How about
How about yes.
Just not the cryptocurrency of choice for all the fraudsters out there. Anything but Monero.
The choice is:
1. Sacrifice CPU cycles to run some some nasty garbage which distracts from the article and feed marketing scumbags.
2. Sacrifice CPU cycles to run something which does not distract from the article and (if it was a cryptocurrency other than Monero) does not feed people who will sell their parents to the highest bidder.
I think the choice is obvious - provided that the cryptocurrency (or other form of CPU rental) is something whose use is mostly legit and aboveboard (at least as much as normal money).
I would personally prefer 3 - a form of micropayment, but none of those stay afloat for long enough to be something websites are willing to integrate.
