This is exactly what happened on Pr0gramm.

The users of the platform are not the people who include Coinhive on hacked websites. Pr0gramm simply allowed its users to voluntarily mine in their browsers and be rewarded with a premium account. The main benefit of a premium account is, that no ads are shown on the site.

They're apparently basement dwellers. Hint: basement dwellers don't pay their own electricity bill.

yup, at least pr0 gives you something back and you do NOT do it without consent... unlike some websides where I wonder why the hell does this site need 50% of my 4GHz processing power....
