As multiple commenters pointed crypto-mining on user's computers have multiple problems but it doesn't mean that it can't be solved people! We in the beginning of something new and nobody knows all the right answers yet.
But if I have to choose I would choose mining instead of ADs.
Maybe because they haven't worked for me in particular and I find them stupid.
And as we found with journalism, there are 2 parts of the equasion.
Journalists want to be paid fairly for professionalism
People mostly not ready to spend bucks for each site they read, specially that is there are plenty of other sources.
Hence we have ADs. But they are not ideal as well. Something we saw on the example of youtube and ADpocalypse, or native advertisements or any other number of problems using ADs.
So my vote is YES, I'm ready to share resources of my computer(electricity, idle time, disk space, whatever, network bandwidth) to "pay" for quality content.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
