Definitely check out the c4ss stuff. It speaks to you, or doesn't; worthwhile either way.

As for Tux, they's totally whacked and mindless, in very much over their head. No concept whatsoever of what they really wishes to do. Website sends a butt-ton of data, spins the fans all the way up, overloads CPU, and ... nothing. Just Heat City. Only other contact is Discord. Wants the digits to get in. Does they even know they's doing crypto or anarchist?

Elitist. Very. Embedded so they doesn't realize at all.

Sans clues.

That was my first thought, but no. I have occasionally used such miners (but not bitcoin, which is useless in that context) myself for various purposes which the users were well informed of, and have allowed them as a user myself when I agree with what's being done. The activity signature doesn't match any miner I know about, even for data-storage- and -retrieval-based work-protocols.

What it does match with are highly hyped client-side active-page libraries. Just stupidity. I could land a bitcoin block with a Sinclair before compiling the page for viewing. Proof-of-waste mining is waste for a purpose. Proof-of-stake is just proof of prior waste with heavy violence tossed in. This is waste with no purpose whatsoever.
