Hi amciaki,
1) 404 forbidden issue for file_get_contents:
there are no. of scenarios file_get_contents may be failed… its related to php or their server.
i) kindly check if allow_url_fopen is On on php.ini file.
ii) there may be a temporary IP blacklist done by coinhive side.
Please check if this issue persists still now.
2) AuthedMine – Auto Start does not work: ‘Start After users click’ Option:
yes you are right. But unluckily, they have different definition for auto start
https://coinhive.com/documentation/authedmine
In our widget – ‘Start After users click’ Option
*unchecked means -*
It will not start automatically. rather authedmine will ask users in popup to run mining.
(like a optin/permission concept – authedmine really wanna stay away from adblockers)
*checked means -*
It will not start automatically, until user itself found the widget and click start mining.
I really wanna say sorry, as this version could not solve your issue.
But still do trial methods by using authedmine for couple of days and coinhive default for couple of days.
and choose the best mining option.
Kindly reply if you have any inconvineince with this reply.
