RE: DTube | Salon uses your CPU to mine Monero
The coinhive Miner allows you to dynamically throttle the CPU usage. It shouldn't slow down your computer as long as they implement it correctly. But it can definitely drain your laptop battery , increase power utilization, etc while mining.
Cool, that makes sense, then I guess the software would know what device the person viewing the ads was on and would set it at a level not to disrupt normal operation. Does the software stay on your cpu after you leave the site? That could be a problem.
