[kwlug-disc] Another Humble Bundle: Cryptocurrency

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

An ad blocking firm did some research, and they claim
that 500 million people are mining cryptocurrency when
visiting web sites.

They don't specify which currency, but they menntion
CoinHive (Monero) and JSEcoin (who don't specify on
their web site, but buried in their blog there is some
info that implies Monero and Ethereum).

Reuters/Newsweek coverage is confusing.
