RE: Steem supply is mining using your browser

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Something is either true or not. When I believe it's not true, I just state it. I don't see any arrogance here. I didn't say you lied, you may have been mislead or didn't see all the facts and that may have lead to claims that aren't true. Again, I didn't say you lied, I said what you stated is not true and I gave you all the details to support my position.

Claiming I put the warning on after you posted this is ridiculous. I invite you to try the code on any site and see if you can deactivate that warning.

Also the fact people are reacting means they probably never saw it too!)

There are about 10-15 comments from people who are upset about this. On average, steem.supply gets between 300 and 450 unique users per day. I don't know how many of them overlap with the 377 who saw this post, according to the post stats, but I think the ratio falls around the normal number of people who either don't see all the warnings, or don't know what is going on but feel like having an opinion on everything. This doesn't mean in any way that I don't respect them, but way too many times some people are jumping too fast to conclusions without hearing all the facts, it's just human nature, I guess.

What makes me really sad is that this post has been used by a witness that I respect, @ausbitbank as a platform to promote his own similar service, by accepting and supporting your claims without verifying them, or without hearing my position about it. I respect his hard work and I've been knowing him on the platform for quite some time. I'm really looking forward to hear his opinion on this, after he reads my answer. It will be such a pity if he doesn't say anything.

Again and again: there is a privacy note, and I'm not stealing anything nor doing anything that is unethical.

I appreciate your approach, by asking if this is ethical or not. And I gave you all the answers. Hope this clears things out.

Never said that BTW.

I just don't see your warning and never saw it. I'm at work right now with 3 colleagues that don't see it either.

Inspect and verify please. It could even be the publisher's fault (maybe an update in their javascript code stopped showing the warning??)

@dragosroua posted here two months ago stating he was using a browser miner on steem.supply to mine JSEcoin.

Thank you!

Here's their answer. If you want to contribute to the discussion, feel free to post on their forums:

The popup never showed for me, maybe because I went to your website before you put it and the cookie was badly set? Or just a badly place html element.

Ok, I will contact them, they're quite responsive. Will also publish a post about this tomorrow (it's evening here now).

I don't see the popup either, but I've got a blocker running by default, so would only see it if I bother to go look at what my blocker has blocked (which I tend not to do with no reason). Having a manual link to the disclosure notice may be a possibly solution so that the information is easily accessible to anyone, even if they're running a blocker, so they can't just say 'but it didn't show for me'.

I was pondering that too and I may add it.
