CryptoTab are Getting Greedy
If you don't already know, CryptoTab is a lightweight browser based on Google Chrome which while it is active will do BitCoin mining, thus earning a bit...
I've been using it a few years now on both Android and Windows. The Android version was changed by CryptoTab to do the mining using cloud servers speeding it up (thus earning more)!
Over the Christmas period last year they gave a "present" of 2x cloud mining speed but at the same time changed the continuous running to manual intervention every two hours...
When the gift expired it went back down to normal speed still with a manual intervention every two hours! This went down to every one hour a couple of weeks ago!
They then started bombarding ads and also interruptions to try and persuade me to pay for extra cloud mining speed (I do not know if extra cash would actually be made doing this!)!
Then today, imagine my shock when at the two-hourly manual intervention interval it then displays that there is a 10 minute queue waiting time!
So, at the end of the day, CryptoTab are getting greedy trying to coerce the users into actually paying for something CryptoTab already make a lot of money from! NOT good practice don't you think?
Wherever you look or go nowadays it's all about just ripping people off isn't it?
I'll now be looking at some alternatives - here is one but it isn't BitCoin Mining - have a look here
Now, to cap it all, CryptoTab Lite was introduced beginning July - people are forced to use it along with their VPN with the result being, 1/3 less hashes (thus earning rate slashed by 33%) and a considerable extra usage of phone power PLUS it slows down other apps on the device! THEIR GREED again as they are trying to force people to pay!
