I came across this site: coinhive.com or sparechange.io/
The tl;dr:
It uses javascript to mine Monero. The scripts have an API to start/stop/set intensity (how much of the CPU is used.).
Is this a viable way to monetise an app if it were to be built with something like cordova?
Assuming you allow the user to set the intensity and stats have been created to show power consumption and heat.
Additionally, what if you applied the same idea but to use the computing power for research such as cancer etc?
