I think we've got a killer app on our hands, this will disrupt so many aspects of the web from ads to captchas. It will be pretty ironic that Monero will accomplish mass adoption by these means when shitcoins like ethereum tried everything with their smart contracts and it was Monero and the vilified PoW that made mainstream with solid utility.

There are already specific plugins for Chrome (No Coin) and Firefox (CoinBlock 1.0) to block coin-hive. The adblockers will soon also block the js coin miners by default. Don't really see coin-hive having much traction long term consumers will not stand for it.

This is a good idea. getmonero.org could have a page on the site where people can choose to mine for a while for a certain charity. It would be a really good marketing stunt
getmonero.org should be setup to do this.
