99% is as good as mined out. you may be able to make a few quarks with a botnet or large vpn - but the power costs  wont even remotely be close to what you gain.
Which means   hoarders of 100-s of millions are simply enriched with all the new users.
Because the botnet owner pays the electricity bills of the affected machines.

lol...

I don't understand why some people claim botnets could become a problem for QRK.
I mean if I have a hidden process that uses up 100% of my CPU, I will know it.
People who know nothing about computers will realize something is wrong, and tell someone who knows more about computers.

I understand botnets can send spam mails etc... without the user realizing it. Tasks with small or no CPU usage.
But to have the CPU cycle away at 100% for hours without the user realizing that his computer is no longer usable for anything else.... that is impossible.
