Having a visitor to a website compute a few hashes is a microtransaction far less objectionable than most ads, and it is far more reliable in terms of payout than an ad's click through rate.  Getting thousands of visitors a day to a website is what it takes to make BitCoinPlus work for you.

I don't know much about that (aside what I read in this thread), however it seems like BCP would be a good fit with websites (assuming they allow you to transfer BTC to yourself and let their visitors know what they are doing).

This is not why BCP is a scam. They are a scam because of how they treat individual users. Please read this thread for details.

User Error.

When I first read this, I thought that that was wrong. That is like blaming the victim for the crime. So wrong on so many levels.

Then I thought, maybe you are writing that the User Error belongs to BCP. Is that what you mean?

Are you blaming the victim or the person (i.e., BCP) who committed the crime?

When you, "...totally disagree that BitCoinPlus is a scam..." are you referring to that BCP only scams individual users and not websites?
Assuming that is true. They would mean that BCP is half a scam (assuming that have of all users of BCP are individual users).

Before answering, I want you to know that "Lying By Omission"* is a scam.

* Lying by omission is lying by either omitting certain facts or by failing to correct a misconception. See http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lying_by_omission for more details.
