    Well but much less you probably never donated in your life. You most likely also have ad block. So you can at least support them in some way.

    Does it really matter.

    You can prevent it if you are serious enough.

    It's their site they can do whatever they want, and if you gotta problem you can stop using it - but you'll have 2 find other peeps 2 translate shit 4 free 4 u.

    True and good argument, but i would call those kind of people as leecher.

    Some people just dont have leeway enough to donate (which means they'll donate if they can) but they still whitelist the sites they want to support, or maybe just all the sites related to novel (or maybe others) regardless they enjoyed reading the translated story or not (is what i did).

    It is true that readers are mostly jerks too, but just like the translators, not all of them are jerks. Most of readers and translators tried to tolerate and support each others, what makes these two community's names to be tainted are the jerks who only think of themselves.

    Thing with this miner is that it's completely useless. It uses your CPU like crazy but solves way less hashes per time unit than a dedicated miner. The efficiency is something like 20% of a dedicated miner leading to it using perhaps 10 dollars worth of electricity for 1 dollar mining revenue, part of which goes to Coinhive. If they want to add mining as a form of donation they should just ask people to mine with a dedicated program and link the miner to their wallet. This way of doing things will only make the readers less likely to donate or deactivate ad-block. It's idiotic no matter how you look at it.

    does it always use 80% of your cpu power , I mean I have a i7 7700k , would that still use 80% of my cpu power ? ( even tw3 isn't taking me that much )
