Anyone get an email from them today offering a chance to win a lifetime sub by allowing them to access you cpu. I'm not too enthusiastic about that offer tbh.

Sounds like it's being used for Bitcoin mining to me. Might be a fair trade in some people's eyes.

This is the body of the email:


Hi there!

We hope you're enjoying the free version of Windscribe. Guess what, now you can upgrade to Pro for free!

According to Robert Heinlein, "Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain" ... but let's try to forget about that. In fact, let J help you out.


Hi there!

Did you know that you can now upgrade to a Pro account via a brand new method - by using your spare CPU capacity to do math!

YEAH....!


Hold on, give us a chance to explain without boring you to death. When you use your computer, for the most part, the CPU is sitting there not doing much of anything, which is a huge waste. The fine folks at Intel and AMD worked really hard on these things, so why not put them to good use and earn free bandwidth and even Pro service?

Try it Out
Basically, the process involves you opening a special web-page on our website, which will use your CPU to solve complex math puzzles. Don't worry if you're bad at math, you don't have to do anything as your CPU is exceptionally good at that kind of stuff. Each solution gives credit to your account. Once you get enough credits you can redeem them for things like resetting your usage on demand, permanently increasing your free bandwidth allowance, or even earning a free Pro account!

Ok, I'm Sold
By the way, you see that button above? Of course you do, you're not blind (unless you are, in which case - sorry). You can open that on as many computers as you'd like, and you will get rewards even faster. One thing you should know is that your computer will use a lot more electricity while doing this, so don't run this on a laptop that is not plugged in.

Don't care about all that noise? That's fine, you can always upgrade via the good old fashioned method - money!

Take My Money
Thanks!

Weird I'd love to know what the calculations are for. Folding proteins? Cracking encryption? Its not strictly free though you'll be paying in electricity which depending on your computer can be significant. I used to heat my house in winter making litecoin.

Looks like iPlayer is still not available via Windscribe?

Any issues using Windscribe to access RTE Player?
