Is Monetizing a script with coinhive not allowed?

Just a question. If we tell users about it, and we implement it at a fair CPU usage, then wouldn't that be allowed? Just a question.

"Scripts must include a description of what they do and may not do things unreasonably outside of this description. Users must know what a script will do before installing it. Scripts that include tracking or ads must disclose this in their descriptions."

If you mention it in your description, it's fine.

Informed Consent is the target. If you intend to deceive then you fail the test. Simply informing them THAT something is, is very-not-the-same as explaining the impact- or HOW is will cost them.
