Debunked hundreds of times? How difficult would it be for you to post some links. After all, with "hundreds" of cases, I'm sure it wouldn't take you but 30 seconds.
Yes, it has been dealt with ad nauseam in this thread that you have obviously not even attempted to partially read. It has been discussed more than the 1 million+ Bitcoin satoshimine and monero cripplemined fastmine put together. It was in fact dealt with hundreds of times alone in the link you just posted but also did not bother to read. It's much easier to repeat headline FUD than to actually take the time to investigate the facts for yourself. Read all the facts then come back in a few days if you still have questions.
