Be careful, another website joins the trend for users to mine cryptocurrencies for them, in this case it is GranTorrent and what it does is mine Ethereum with the processor, not Monero.

A few days ago we echoed the integration by Best Torrent of the CoinHive JavaScript that Monero undermines, something that we already said seemed very wrong, since we do not consider it an acceptable practice to use third-party hardware for personal gain. Chance wants it to have been on GranTorrent, a website that I have been using for some time and that I had never or had ever detected, it had always worked for me without overloading my computer. This one is not mining Monero, this one is going to mine Ethereum.

The truth is that I was thinking of putting down a chapter of one of the series that I am currently following and I have seen the one of one that interested me, but I don't remember why the chapter was going. So I have decided to go to the hard drive where I save the series in question and see what chapter was going on. Once accessed, I realized that the window was going to hit, something strange, since I barely have the browser open. It was then when I went to see that it was consuming resources and I have seen Chrome consuming 99% of the processor resources and I was surprised.

I quickly told him to finish the task and what was my surprise that he deactivated the GranTorrent tab and the load on the processor was finished. Logically, this has made me investigate and I have quickly thought what everyone uses CoinHive to mine Monero. What has been my surprise when searching I have seen the reference ETH_accounts and ETH_coinbase and a link to a GitHub repository and of course, white and bottled, milk. What the code does is mine Ethereum with the user's processor, something we are totally against, that's why we launched this public complaint.

It was a coincidence that I found it a long time ago and I like it a lot, because it usually works quite well and is updated and the menus are very simple, but logically I will not access this web page again, I will look for another alternative to be able to enjoy my series, without my hardware is misused and without my permission. I am one of those who mine cryptocurrencies, but I mine what I want and I do it for myself, logically, I do not have to sacrifice my hardware for third parties. I do not recommend accessing this website.
