This was inevitable, really. Salon.com <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/02/salon-to-ad-blockers-can-we-use-your-browser-to-mine-cryptocurrency/> now asks you, when it notices you are running an ad-blocker, if you would like to contribute some CPU to running a cryptocurrency miner for them instead. What do you think: is it a fair trade? Is it a sustainable revenue model, at least better than doing the mining without asking your permission?
