New Plugin Allows Developers to Turn iOS Devices Into Bitcoin Mining Bots

New Plugin Allows Developers to Turn iOS Devices Into Bitcoin Mining Bots

Interesting concept, but a bad idea for any device running on batteries. I really don't want to use an app that deliberately maxes out the CPU load as a revenue-generation scheme. I'd much rather see ads than have my battery prematurely drained.

Now, for an app running on a computer plugged in to a power source (like a desktop system), it sounds like a great idea.
