Salon is trying to sweet-talk visitors into letting them mine Monero in the browser while you visit their website

Salon is trying to sweet-talk visitors into letting them mine Monero in the browser while you visit their website.

Look at them squirming around for paragraphs without saying what they're actually doing, and when they finally admit it, they try to pretend like you'd be participating in some important technological research.

Fucking kikes

lol. They should just use PRL instead.

This is too fucking funny

>holding content hostage and offering malware in order to let them view it

This is illegal according to FCC guidelines preventing malicious ad practices on digital venues. It used to be a big deal to put worms in banner ads and pretend you didn't know otherwise.

Archive link faggot. I'm not giving them traffic

weren't these foul bitches bragging about how bitcoin was dead and cryptocurrencies are just a libertarian fantasy or some shit only a few years ago, after the mt. gox crash?

Isn't Facebook also doing this?
Normies don't know lol

>FCC
>government regulations during Trump presidency

Never heard of this site

Can we report this shit somewhere?

>malware
OH NO MY CPU WENT UP 2% THIS IS MALWARE BAD BAD :(((

They're the site that advocates for pedophilia

They are left-wing SJW socialists.

>PRL doesn't have a use case

liberals need their crypto currencies drained from their accounts.

>We noticed you're using an ad blocker
Yeah, fuck right off. I see that message on any site and I'm out.

Not that I would visit (((Salon))) any way.

...

>visiting salon

...

>liberals need a bullet to the head

>Salon: WTF i literally love cryptocurrencies now

>paying a small amount in electrical fees to be ad-free
What's the problem here exactly?

How capitalist of them

thanks user

>tell /g/ that this is going to happen in 2018 last year
>You're just being paranoid XD normie sites won't do this bro lol

Nothing, but as someone pointed out, for whatever reason, they are really sneaky in the way they disclose it.

>For our beta program, we’ll start by applying your processing power to help support the evolution and growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

While we are on the subject, would anyone care to help me support the evolution and growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies by sending me some BTC?

Oh by the way you can easily stop this and ALL paywalls by using Brave.

On Brave you simply flip the "block scripts" switch and it will block everything, along with trackers, ads, malicious adware, etc. etc.

Brave/BAT is the future. Built-in adblock browser with an optional decentralized user-advertiser-publisher advertising model. Literally solves all of these issues.

>you may have heard the myth
>but we are employing the mechanics of that myth to your PC

jesus who writes the copy for this?

One of the very few working and useful crypro projects

one of my comfiest holds

they need to burn and burn in a pit of fire badly

white women

It's probably because most of their audience is over 40 and female.

Ironic how you know a woman most certainly didn't implement this technology, not develop or maintain their website despite their whole thing being girl power.

Yeah, report it to the Internet police ya faggot.
555-BRAP

Use nanodefender to get around sites that block adblockers, it works great

Salon fucking owes ME for their garbage fucking articles. I'd sooner read Breitbart than their shitty rag.

Kek seriously this.

Jesus this is funny.

does it work for forbes? i hate having to disable my adblocker/ open an incognito for their mildly interesting articles

Too bad you can't switch on something that does the hash calculations wrong before sending them back

I just checked some forbes articles and they worked fine

thanks m8

PRL doesn't have a product yet dumb fuck

...

I've been holding it since december, is it gonna go up to 2-3 bucks again at some point in the near future?

Based deleted poster.

holy shit, if webmining is really all a company needs to quench a businesses ad-revenue thirst... "cryptos" are going to be unimaginably huge

That's so satisfying to look at.

BAT is criminally underrated and undervalued, but I'm weary of its growth potential in the longterm. For example, 5 years from now, would having BAT at $50 make any sense?

So how much do these inbrowser mining scripts make and would it be possible to run this on public computers?

people who are against capitalism need helicopter rides

Can you block scripts individually like uMatrix/noScript?

This is only a problem if you're not using uBlock, NoScript, or go to Salon for any reason. I can't get off the first page without getting my computer raped. I don't know how anyone can use the site and I'm convinced it's just a front for a shareholder ponzi scheme. Pic related. Part 1

Part 2

Why do normans with nice jobs and degrees write shit like this then I get judged for being a NEET. So what if it looks bad / I'm unsexy because I lurk in my pajamas all day drinking coffee. I'm making more than them off crypto but it's still not enough. Life is not fair.

Send this over to /pol/ they will absolutely devour it. Fuck Salon.

Way ahead of you.

the internet was a mistake

Social media + smartphones were the real mistake. It's how retards conquered the internet now everything panders to them

True. Why do women and niggers always ruin everything?

Imagine being a clueless normie, just clicking through dozens of pages, with a basic ass anti virus

So this is why my computer goes in to overdrive when I log on to exchanges...

I wish I knew user, I would hold the keys to the motherfucking kingdom..

Sauce?

desu Binance and Bittrex are ok when it comes to scripts

It really is beautiful to think about.

It's for the best.

FUCK SALON

FUCK

FUCK

FUCK
