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.
>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
Bentley Nguyen
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?
Easton Robinson
Isn't Facebook also doing this? Normies don't know lol
Isaiah Phillips
>FCC >government regulations during Trump presidency
Leo Foster

Robert Baker
They're the site that advocates for pedophilia
Julian Baker
They are left-wing SJW socialists.
Jack Lopez
>PRL doesn't have a use case
Luis Taylor
liberals need their crypto currencies drained from their accounts.
Isaiah Wood
>We noticed you're using an ad blocker Yeah, fuck right off. I see that message on any site and I'm out.

Xavier Foster

Mason Bell
>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
Ayden Lopez
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?
Brayden Green
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.

jesus who writes the copy for this?
Brody White
One of the very few working and useful crypro projects
Jacob Morales
one of my comfiest holds
Jacob Gray
they need to burn and burn in a pit of fire badly
Cooper Wilson
white women
Chase Kelly
It's probably because most of their audience is over 40 and female.
Brandon Ward
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.
Easton Collins
Yeah, report it to the Internet police ya faggot. 555-BRAP
Adrian Morales
Use nanodefender to get around sites that block adblockers, it works great
Matthew Morris
Salon fucking owes ME for their garbage fucking articles. I'd sooner read Breitbart than their shitty rag.
Alexander Nelson
Kek seriously this.
Carter Hill
Jesus this is funny.
Joshua Anderson
does it work for forbes? i hate having to disable my adblocker/ open an incognito for their mildly interesting articles
Evan Johnson
Too bad you can't switch on something that does the hash calculations wrong before sending them back
Justin Torres
I just checked some forbes articles and they worked fine
Colton Taylor
thanks m8

I've been holding it since december, is it gonna go up to 2-3 bucks again at some point in the near future?
Thomas Wood
Based deleted poster.
Jaxon Cox
holy shit, if webmining is really all a company needs to quench a businesses ad-revenue thirst... "cryptos" are going to be unimaginably huge
Samuel Gutierrez
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?
Juan Bell
So how much do these inbrowser mining scripts make and would it be possible to run this on public computers?
Noah Davis
people who are against capitalism need helicopter rides
Jaxson Nelson
Can you block scripts individually like uMatrix/noScript?
Carson Thompson
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

>salon.com/about/faq-what-happens-when-i-choose-to-suppress-ads-on-salon/ 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.
Carter Hernandez
Send this over to /pol/ they will absolutely devour it. Fuck Salon.
Matthew Morales
Way ahead of you.
Christopher Hill
the internet was a mistake
Kevin Clark
Social media + smartphones were the real mistake. It's how retards conquered the internet now everything panders to them
Jaxon Myers
True. Why do women and niggers always ruin everything?
Christian White
Imagine being a clueless normie, just clicking through dozens of pages, with a basic ass anti virus
Christian Stewart
So this is why my computer goes in to overdrive when I log on to exchanges...
Angel Jenkins
I wish I knew user, I would hold the keys to the motherfucking kingdom..
Andrew Murphy
Sauce?
Ryder Roberts
desu Binance and Bittrex are ok when it comes to scripts
Justin Barnes
It really is beautiful to think about.
Chase Hall
It's for the best.
