Keep us posted, don't make me follow up and beg for you to take my monero damn it. ^ _ ^

Apparently CloudFlare considers it malware and at least one site has been dropped for implementing it without telling users and without giving users a way to disable it (the last two factors specifically being mentioned by a CloudFlare rep.) The site did attempt to implement disabling and throttling features, I don't know in what way, but apparently whatever they offered wasn't good enough. CloudFlare would not resume providing services until the miner was removed and told the site if it was discovered again the site would be permabanned.

We had no complications with Cloudflare.

They will probably mostly do this to pirate sites. All sites they listed were after all torrent sites that ProxyBunker set up proxy services for them. This could just be an excuse to remove Cloudflare from them. I don't think Null will have a problem as he told us about this before setting up and has been more upfront about the miner he's running than any of those sites.
This is however ruining Cloudflares image more and having more people look for alternatives.

If Cloudflare drops us it won't be a huge problem, just annoying.

Since earlier today (I'm guessing after your post saying theres no mining rn?) my CPU goes up by 30% while visiting the forums, per tab, and checking uBlock shows me no coinhive, any idea what it could be?
edit: turning on NoScript solved the problem, I'll test some stuff on my end to see if I can find the culprit

As it turns out, contrary to what a certain paedophile terrorist may believe, you do not need Coinhive to mine Monero.
I am building an interface for this now but in the mean time, yes, it's flat 30% per tab. Sorry. It'll be less intrusive soon.

So Vordy went and warned the pool provider? Classy.

"Warned" is a very generous way of describing what he does.
Coinhive, infamous for supporting sites like The Pirate Bay and TorrentFreak. The same Coinhive infamous for being used by actual malware installed on Granny's computer. But that same Coinhive, not afraid of the DMCA or the International Jewry that controls copyright, may see the Kiwi Farms as a step too far? I would have no way of knowing what happened specifically, but I am sure he started threatening their livelihoods.

This explains how my computer froze up when I opened chrome after I had 4 or 5 kiwifarms tabs open.

I came here to ask the same thing. Thank you for being open. The actual mining isn't as big a hassle as not knowing what was causing the CPU spike so thanks for letting us know.

As a part of my work, the footer now contains numbers showing off your productivity. The ability to tune your contribution is coming soon. That's a bit more complex.
I've also disabled it for mobile again.

In order to mine not using Coin Hive's pool were you able to use their Javascript and modify it or did you have to find some other Javascript mining implementation?
Nice thing about not being on Coin Hive is you no longer have their kind of insane 30% pool fees.

I was able to scrounge up code by looking at other live implementations and foraging for a backend. The stuff I found was really barebones for client implementation but I'm more than happy to get a convenient API rolling in exchange for 99% of what we mine.

Just in case you're curious, I got like 90 H/s on their miner and on yours with the 30% throttle I get about 30-40 so it seems it's not less efficient than theirs, so that's good.

Yes. Your work is already being collected and monetized no matter what that box says, but right now the worker isn't returning to the forward-facing client JS how many hashes you are contributing. There will be anomalies like this as I build it up.

It would be some delicious irony for KF to actually come out ahead as the result of this.

That is definitely going to be the case in the long run with this. There's no way to take down the pool because Crypto, especially Monero, is designed to be decentralized and private. Coinhive was a really nice service and it saved me a lot of time setting up stuff but if I'm earning 30% more doing this then it'll be worth it after like a week. I'm just really lucky that I found the code I needed the way I did.

You said at the moment it's a flat 30% per tab, but whether I have 1 or 4 open the H/s seems to stay about the same - Is it supposed to be adding them, or is each tab showing its own rate?
