Ad-blockers, firewalls, and anti-virus programs should be toll bridges

This is what happens to World Community Grid statistics when someone decides to monetize their computer processor cycles by mining cryptocurrency instead of donating the cycles.  After 11 years of donating CPU and electricity, I've begun playing around with nicehash.com to monetize those resources instead.  I'm not expecting to make any substantial earnings unless or until I buy some mining hardware, but it's a good way to start learning the ins and outs of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.  Almost certainly, I'm not the only one who's reallocating resources in this way.

You have to wonder how much pressure World Community Grid is receiving from CPUs migrating to cryptocurrency mining, and how long will it be until this phenomenon expands to other distributed computing platforms that make use of unowned compute resources without paying for them.  Will this, eventually, force providers to adopt a tsu-like model and start paying for the electricity, CPU cycles, and other resources that they consume?

Want to run your javascript to track my behavior in my browser? Sure. Go ahead. Just send 3 satoshis per hundred instructions to the bitcoin address that's configured in my browser settings.

In addition to compensating owners for consumed resources, and improving the on-line advertising landscape, this could also go a long way towards reducing viruses and malware. It would be prohibitively expensive for a black hat to infect millions of computers if (s)he has to pay, even a small amount, to run code on each of those computers.

Perhaps the next ad-blocker/firewall model will move beyond white-list/black-list for each decision, and incorporate some automated form of price negotiation? Ads or packets could be accepted if a price agreement is reached, or dropped if an agreement isn't reached?

May 11, 2016 - Update: Along the same lines, a couple months after writing this I learned about the Brave browser, from here.  They replace "bad ads" with "good ads" and plan to use advertising revenue to pay the user, the publisher, and the advertising partners.  Not quite a toll bridge because they're replacing the original ads, but close.
