RE: Why Mining CryptoCurrency in a Web Browser is Completely Useless?
One trick done by mining browser malware is that a window minimizes and hides behind a clock so it's practically invisible unless you hide the windows' taskbar
Whatever they do your Computer will feel sluggish and you will get to know that there is some problem.
Then the rest is easy.
Usually, but the next-gen crypto malware is much smarter and it may get unnoticed. If malware maxes out your CPU then it's obvious that something is going on, but what if it limits it's usage to 10-20%?
Even if it's an i7 processor CPU usage of 10-20% will lead to nothing.
I know that cause I mine with my CPU too.
It's isn't nothing if you multiply this by thousands of infected computers around the world.
Yes that would be the next thing in all of this but Browser Mining in Pools I don't think it's viable for now.
If it was such a big operation we would have seen a Newer Pool arrive.
