Did you even read the article? uTorrent's parent company confirmed the mining software is bundled with the latest version, it just doesn't silently install but appears as an innocuous "accept/decline" option.Originally Posted by Speshil

Mind you, they claim they've "suspended the offering" so it shouldn't install it any more. Since I don't want to test it, even in a VM, I can't say whether this is the case.

It's truly sinister, if PC users were really unwashed plebs that didn't know how to use their own rig they would've made serious bank. Originally Posted by Miuku

Many are, and they will. Good news is that it's just bitcoin, so I doubt they're going to get rich from it. Originally Posted by Conspicuous Cultist

Isn't even having one bitcoin a lot of money or did it tank after the giant hype? Originally Posted by Kujako

Yes, it's perfectly legal because they aren't sneaking anything in at all. There is a button that says agree and one that says disagree. If you click agree it installs that extra bit in. If you click disagree it doesn't. Originally Posted by Gaidax

But it isn't 5 seconds, it's like reading a mini-version of The Prince every time. Originally Posted by Thetruth1400

Thirded. qBittorrent has replaced uTorrent for me. Originally Posted by Conspicuous Cultist

It's also met the forum quota for posters insulting the intelligence of their peers to grasp the age-old upper hand in argumentation, I believe officially coined by Plato: "Ur, like, dumb and that's why I'm right."

Current exchange rate is around 300$ to 1, but with the loss of the Silk Road there's not a lot you can do with them. I just find the whole idea of an unbacked currency to be a bit silly. It's like the tulip thing all over again. Sure, money is there to be made, but like beanie babies, I think people will wake up one morning and find their collection worthless.

But having other computers mine for you would pretty much null out that cost since it's on everyone elses' electricity bill. Originally Posted by WernerCD

This is why I never just fly through the installer when installing shit. I read every single page to make sure I'm not installing something I'm not wanting to.
