I've read above that you are using forced browser mining now (to make some cash - nothing wrong with that), but having this process run while trying to simply update the repo list (which is what I assume is making my pi run like a Zx81) is just ridiculous.
It's obviously caning all of the pi's resources.
Are there any plans to remove this forced mining in newer versions and maybe introduce a premium version instead? If not, Minera is no longer of any use to me as this is just crazy.
Actually is an issue that there is forced mining, even if you visit getminera.com it forces you to mine.
My issue is that its done in a sneaky and dishonest manner, if the developer is hurting this much for money, then he might implement other techniques that will steal hash rates from minners or compromise our wallets.
Just offer minera as a paid service...
You still didn't understand how browser mining is working, it doesn't have anything to do with your RPI. It's a BROWSER mining not Rpi-CPU mining. So it doesn't waste or use any RPI resources, it uses your browser idle CPU instead and only when you look at Minera web interface from any PC/Mac.
And by the way, it's not hidden, you have full control over it, you can just go to the settings page and turn it off forever.
So please do not continue to tell me I'm a thief or anything like that because it's simply false. And lastly, if you still have problems, don't use Minera.
