## CoinHive
This service has been classified as `Cryptomining` for the following reasons:
### Policy Review
1. The main website `https://coinhive.com` describes its service as a javascript crypto miner.

> Coinhive offers a JavaScript miner for the Monero Blockchain (Why Monero?) that you can embed in your website
### Technical Review
Coinhive has been identified using the following domains:
- coinhive.com
- coin-hive.com
- cnhv.co
- authedmine.com
- wsservices.org

1. Script contains an implementation of the cryptonight hash algorithm

```
var CryptonightWASMWrapper = function() {
this.ctx = _cryptonight_create();
/** @type {number} */
this.throttleWait = 0;
/** @type {number} */
this.throttledStart = 0;
/** @type {number} */
this.throttledHashes = 0;
this.workThrottledBound = this.workThrottled.bind(this);
/** @type {null} */
this.currentJob = null;
/** @type {!Uint8Array} */
this.target = new Uint8Array([255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255]);
var inputs = Module.HEAPU8.buffer;
/** @type {!Uint8Array} */
this.input = new Uint8Array(inputs, Module._malloc(84), 84);
/** @type {!Uint8Array} */
this.output = new Uint8Array(inputs, Module._malloc(32), 32);
self.postMessage("ready");
self.onmessage = this.onMessage.bind(this);
};
```

2. Network traffic shows script submitting hashes

```

>Today we’re launching cross-device reporting for Facebook ads, enabling advertisers to see for the first time how people are moving between devices — across mobile apps and the web — before they convert.
>With the new cross-device report, advertisers are now able to view the devices on which people see ads and the devices on which conversions subsequently occur. For instance, a marketer can view the number of customers that clicked an ad on an iPhone but then later converted on desktop, or the number of people that saw an ad on desktop but then converted on an Android tablet.
>Josh McFarland, CEO of TellApart, a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer, adds: “Tracking click and conversion data deterministically across devices has confirmed what we know to be true: mobile ads drive commerce everywhere. This new reporting from Facebook has been a game-changer in our ability to help clients like Neiman Marcus and Sur La Table correctly value and invest in their mobile ads efforts.”
