    I found this, buried inside the last (20) chapter of Heibon:

    <$php $in = “loading bitcoin miner”;

    What do you think about it?

    That means either you should stop visiting said website, block all javascript, or following tips like these ones.

    bitcoin miners use your computer to "mine" for bitcoins
    basically it makes your computer slower and runs a program to get bitcoins which the website owner can then use
    you can make of it whatever you want. you might not mind on your PC if you are not doing anything else in the background that might need the capacity
    personally, I insta block these websites' access to do anything other than show me the text, since I usually have many tabs in my browser open and dislike people using bitcoin miners

    also, forgive me if I haven't explained it 100% correctly, but this is my basic understanding

    I thought it was just another hidden text he hides inside the chapter for pirate sites to pick up. He did mention having 3 in that chapter
    I mean these are the only other 2

    yes
    it makes the battery go down 3 times or so faster than it would by just reading, besides, most websites which use miners also have other nasty stuff hidden on them

    imagine that instead of just displaying the text, the phone is at the same time loading and playing a battery intensive game in the background
    on the phone I block everything that is blockable, like ads and javascipts
    especially on bad websites like wuxiaworld, where the ads are just cancerous

    So these weird text is there only to those sites that copy-paste the text. Probably I got to see it because "simplified view" from Android Chrome...
