Users may wish to accept XMR payments to a wallet address on an exchange (which don’t provide or need private view keys). The plugin wouldn’t be able to confirm the transactions automatically but users would get a deposit notification email from their exchange.

When the plugin is active eset gives Generik.HICVPPU warning on my website. Is it possible to eliminate this warning?

My settings of the plugin – pro checked

personally, i do not feel this is necessarily a bad thing and, actually, i see this tech in general as potentially excellent way to monetize web content without having to subject visitors to ads or begging for donations

HOWEVER, the way that every single one of the devs are implementing the Coin Hive miner in all of the WP plugs as of this writing is HIGHLY UNETHICAL in my opinion insomuch as they all are allowing the mining script to run WITHOUT even making the visitor aware, much less offering an opt-in solution

Coin Hive seems like they have a solid ethic and a very good privacy policy and and i think they’re in this for the right reasons, one of which is to de-clutter the web of annoying ads and other unethical monetization schemes

here’s some quotes from the Coin Hive blog (The Way Forward), emphasis added…

Our goal was to offer a viable alternative to intrusive and annoying ads that litter so many websites today. These ads are not only a distraction to end users, but also provide notoriously unpredictable and non-transparent revenue numbers. We set out to change that.

[…]

We’re a bit saddened to see that some of our customers integrate Coinhive into their pages without disclosing to their users what’s going on, let alone asking for their permission. We believe there’s so much more potential for our solution, but we have to be respectful to our end users.

[…]

It’s probably too late to do anything about the adblockers that already prevent our current JavaScript from loading. Instead, we will focus on a new implementation that requires an explicit opt-in from the end user to run. We will verify this opt-in on our servers and will implement it in a way that it can not be circumvented. We will pledge to keep the opt-in in tact at all times, without exceptions.

with that said, i would very much like to ask WordPress to please consider disallowing ANY cryptocurrency mining plugin for WP which utilizes the computing power of site visitors without asking the visitors permission, as in opt-in, not opt-out

i see this tech as an excellent opportunity and perhaps a revolutionary change in how content is monetized, but any developer who acts unethically by employing such tech without asking permission first is, i think, a great threat to the future of something that may have enormous potential

already AV companies and ad-block devs are blacklisting these mining scripts because of unethical developers such as those offering the WP plugs i spoke of

The payout keeps dropping. From 70 to 60 to 50% now. I dont think it is very regular to ask so much as 20% for the pool
