UPDATE
CoinImp is now detectable by Google and Antivirus. They remove this script now. Until CoinImp comes up with a solution I will not longer be providing updates to this modification.
AdBlockers got you down? Tired of lost revenue?
CoinImp Integration will allow you to earn Cryptocurrency (XMR) (Monero) for using some of your users resources. Currently CoinImp is the only JavaScript Miner that AdBlockers can not detect. If the internet wants to cheat the system with AdBlockers. We will cheat them right back.

I don't think I agree with this especially without the members agreeing to it or knowing what's happening. Also, are the users informed about this with the mod installed?
I agree, I would never add this to one of my sites.
Using your guest CPU with out their knowledge is shady af.. but that's up to the owner, I do appreciate the op for sharing if anything to get discussion going.

It's illegal in the United States to mine data without the consent of the end user. There has to be disclosure as to what data is mined, by whom, for what purpose, who receives the data, how it will be used, and how it is encrypted. Privacy is a serious concern. Identity theft is a serious concern.

A toast notification is displayed when mining starts. I don't personally use the product, but I have had requests for it. Also in the next update I'll add a enable/disable option for mobile users, and a separate Mobile CPU Usage option.

I've not heard of it being illegal, do you have a source for this? I'd like to include it for reference. I'm also not sure how this would be a risk for identity theft. I also plan on adding JSE integration into this plugin for those that want to go a more publicized option.
Also I'm running Norton as well, and do not get a notification for this. Can anyone else replicate this?
