So apparently websites can do this without asking you... You'll notice by checking your cpu while surfing. I use a browser called opera and it has such protection but Mozilla and chrome still seems to be vulnerable. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They're often the cause of drive-by malware too. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There has been talk of openly mining on web sites as an alternative to advertising, but AFAIK the only instances that have appeared so far have been done surreptitiously.

I'll be Dimes to Diamonds we are going to see this sort of thing as a standard revenue model for non pay wall web sites. But time will tell The "coin" thing is really blowing itself in to a huge bubble these days. It's not beyond anyone to make a ICA initial coin offering and now we have thousands of coins from DEEP ONION COIN to JESUS COIN. Money is flooding in. If anyone puts money in to any coin system, just make sure you can get it back out Todd QUOTE (Rammikin @ Mar 13 2018, 08:12 AM) It was a third party, according to the administrators, and I'd tend to believe them.

Long Gold, Silver and Platinum here. Sold all my shares in Oct 2016. Russia and China are buying loads of Gold. If you thought the last crash was bad that was a speed bump to the main event. More global debt now than before 2008, way more. QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Mar 13 2018, 06:07 PM) The "coin" thing is really blowing itself in to a huge bubble these days.

It will be a great time to make money on short calls! The crypto coin market is still inflating and sometimes contracting. But yeah, no matter what, just make sure you can get the money back out!
