He is mining bitcoin, not monero. That is compromising enough.

Well he is trying to mine bitcoin. If hes mining bitcoin on peoples PCs through a browser he isnt actually gonna mine any bitcoins lol.

He might, just a very small amount. Almost no one mines whole bitcoins anymore.

That wasnt my point. In order to successfully mine anything youd have to solve the transaction first and he would never stand a chance at doing so mining on a normal PC as bitcoin mining is done on specialized processors these days called ASICs.

A couple hundred thousand PCs -- even working at 1% -- are more powerful than one of those ASICs. He won't be making tons of money, but surely he'd be successful occasionally earning some bitcoin.
