Note: We do not send invoices. There is no licensing fee. We are not located in the US and our legal form is not an Inc. In case you received an invoice, it’s highly likely to be a scam.

All our systems are ready for the Monero Network Update on October 18.! If you're self-hosting the miner, you need to update your files. Have a look at your Coinhive dashboard for the details.

@benoitesnard @shariq We measured it at around 6% for Chrome and Firefox.

A huge thanks goes to @shariq who helped us to improve Coinhive's miner performance with some hand crafted WASM!

@TMalthus We do expect a drop, but we have no idea how big it will be.

All our systems are ready for the Monero hardfork on April 6th! If you're self-hosting the miner, you need to update your files. Have a look at your Coinhive dashboard for the details.

@briankrebs The guy who built Coinhive is working as a freelancer on pr0gramm from time to time, which is exactly what we told you all along. The current owners of pr0gramm were not involved.

@briankrebs Brian, could you please update your article? https://t.co/KFqBroylzT Thank you.

@Scott_Helme @SecAbsurdity @briankrebs @Janomine Sadly, a simple iframe to a validated domain would defeat this. Not saying it would be worthless, and we may implement it, but it's extremely easy to workaround.

@briankrebs @bad_packets As stated, this was due to caching site keys on our WebSocket servers. We have fixed it a few days ago.

@briankrebs @nathanielrsuchy @engMTW 35% of our hash rate comes from the opt-in version. We never claimed that 35% of all installation use it. Some of our largest customers (bitcoin faucets etc.) use the opt-in version.

@bad_packets @ninoseki Thanks! We have banned the account.

@banglintas Everything is working fine, as far as we can tell. What's the matter?

[Coinhive @coinhive_com]

@bad_packets If we're lucky, it's all ASICs that will be useless with the next hardfork. We're only responsible for a tiny fraction of that pie.

@bad_packets Shortlinks deleted, user banned. Thanks!

@briankrebs what's up?

[Coinhive @coinhive_com]

@BestInSlots You can't. Site keys are immutable. You can however just rename and reuse the key for a different site.

@Scott_Helme @jleyden @Malwarebytes @Coinhive @_neonsea_ (Which should be evident by our frequent typos. Hey @Twitter, how's that tweet-editing feature coming along?)
