Newbie here. I found this chrome extension circulating on Social Media Getcryptotab and many are using this to mine bitcoin. I already installed this extension and so far I already generate 0.000000165700 BTC in one night alone.
I wonder if any one here already withdraw from this website. Any reviews and feedback?
Take a look at their own recent payouts page:
https://getcryptotab.com/en/journal/All the payments are in the thousands of satoshi. If they are a legitimate service that is actually mining bitcoins with your computing power then it'll just mean that your computer is getting severely lagged and overheated for virtually no rewards.
Also, your electricity costs will pretty much not going to be covered.
You made a good decision to stop using it. There are no benefits whatsoever, especially as it could even be a hidden virus or not even pay you when you have just made enough for minimum withdrawal.
So basically scam right? Even they allow you to withdraw it is still not enough to harness the actual fee that cost your mining service right?
I see there are tons of risk in involving to a chrome extension thanks for the warning 0.000000165700BTC a night is not enough and not worth a try.
Yes, spot on.
What's the point of trading security of your entire crypto stash and more as well as the speed of your PC, for a measly few hundred satoshis a day that may not even actually get delivered to your bitcoin wallet in the end?
It's just not a sane decision for anyone to make, is it?
If you have free electricity and you have free access to hardware, then even using freebitco.in's browser mining will be more safe and profitable. They have microwithdrawals with close to 0 fee, and also have a reputation. You don't need to download anything either, they'll use coinhive to mine XMR. But I would still not recommend you doing it, as it's just a waste of effort, time, electricity, and your brain power.
