Crypto miners are literally a virus infecting ad tech worming its way on to pages and some asshole proposes to tell users to install it? Of course, this is during the ONA annual tech trends presentation. Usually, those are just vaporware but this is DUMB and DANGEROUS.Permalink On twitter.com

- You're taking advantage of readers who don't understand how power-draw works when crypto-mining. You are disenfranchising them. - Readers don't understand cryptocurrency, they don't understand blockchain, you *Are Not* going to successfully explain it to them.Permalink On twitter.com
