RE: Security Warning: Dmania.lol is running mining scripts using your computer resources.
If it's intentional, that would be a strange thing for a Steem-based site to do, considering that Steem is meant to turn the economic model of the web on its head.
It's happened before on steem.supply, IF it's intentional, my pfunky friend, it's greed, and in ancapistan, all are susceptible to greed. sigh
Blockchain advocates who do intentional shady practices on chain should listen to Bamboo's song Hallelujah.
Understood and agree.
Based on @ZomBee's response shortly after these comments I think it would be best to assume good faith for prominent Steem services.
As you will see in comments made after he responded, I agree.
What happened with steem supply?
In that case, the site operator ran a script like this, didn't disclose. Got caught, admitted it, put up a notice it was running, got more push back and just took it out in the end. All last year. I still vote for that site operator as a witness thanks to his solid response to public preference.
Solid is an overstatement, when I initially reported it he wasn’t all that nice about it.
@dragosroua is a great guy, like most people here he kind of stopped caring about the majority of steem stuff, not sure but just a feeling I'm getting, maybe I'm just guessing from my perspective. I haven't been active quite as much as before
It's not the first time
Since it's hogging the CPU, it looks like a hack to me.
Site owners have done it themselves as well voluntarily as it is free money.
Yeah, but I'd have thought a site owner would keep the CPU utilisation at a less noticeable level.
yeah, i would suspect intentional in this case.
Yes, cpu and gpu cycles are free, the earth can sustain an unlimited amount of computing cycles in the quest for moar crypto mining.
You know what he means. The cost is externalized away from the site operator, to him or her, it IS free.
"This is the first time I have received this warning on their site."
Hmm bro
Maybe it is supposed to turn the economic model of STEEM on its head.
Anyway another reason not to use dmania.
