To block the Malware domains of CoinHive or related JS bitcoin miners .
This does not block AuthedMine.com because they ask for license. This is only for the rogue implementations of it .
Why block (rogue) JS Crypto Miners?
We believe that using a JavaScript Bitcoin miner on your web site without end-users denotative license is Malware .
fortunately, CoinHive realized how webmasters were implementing their miners without ever asking the end-user. They concluded :
We ‘re a moment sadden 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 license. We believe there ‘s so much more potential for our solution, but we have to be respectful to our end users .
We hope we can convince web site owners to integrate the miner in a means that is more meaningful and honest to their users. …

In September 2017, The PirateBay secretly added the JS miner without any user disclosure. Adding unavowed miners makes your web site behave as a malware .
While it may seem like a bang-up solution for the dying ads market, it ‘s sad that the webmasters implemented it like a malware, without considering the end-user .
How to use:
- Program’s that supports hostfile format such as
adaway,ublock orgin,DNS66you can use:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marfjeh/coinhive-block/master/hostfile.txt - Or you prefer to use a adblock-filter list:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marfjeh/coinhive-block/master/adblock.txt
Those lists gets updated on every perpetrate, so you dont need to change them anymore after handout .

I’m using CoinHive on my site. What now?
We suggest asking the end-user for opt-in before operation. It ‘s the drug user ‘s choice whether they wish to participate. If they do n’t, please respect their decision .
AuthedMine.com adds a pop-up book necessitate for license to authorize it. That ‘s why we wo n’t block AuthedMine.

AntiMalwareBytes has besides taken steps to block JS Miners express :
Why are we blocking it ?
We do not claim that CoinHive is malicious, or even necessarily a bad idea. The concept of allowing folks to opt-in for an alternative to ad, which has been plagued by everything from juke newsworthiness to malvertising, is a noble one. The execution of it is another narrative .
The reason we block CoinHive is because there are site owners who do not ask for their users ’ permission to start running CPU-gorging applications on their systems. A regular Bitcoin miner could be fabulously childlike or a power station, depending on how much computing the user running the miner wants to use. The JavaScript adaptation of a miner allows customization of how much mine to do, per exploiter system, but leaves that astir to the web site owner, who may want to slow down your calculator experience to a crawl .
