What's all this fuss about Coin Hive

I took a couple of picks from a site that delivers Coin Hive to your browser in an ethical way so I took a couple of picks of the resource's  it was using to share with whomever is interested.

One thing I must say though is I think he should throttle down the CPU usage if at all possible.

Also I would much rather support a web site with Coin Hive than with ads.

This was how I started Coin Hive and can view my contribution to the site:

Easy update LEDE Reboot 17.01.3 with opkg script


Warning: Make sure you have space to hold all the updates  ---OpenWRT will not check---

I suggest only doing this if you have EXTroot running with lots of space . (Wiki Link)

You may brick your router


First things first although this should work on any router running LEDE 17.01.2 to 17.01.3 17.01.4 I am using a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1  So do your homework and make sure it will work for your router before attempting this. It was written for OpenWrt originally (I think ?) so should work for many routers.

I found a found a pretty cool script on GitHub written by https://github.com/tavinus  and downloadable here https://github.com/tavinus/opkg-upgrade that is extremely easy to use.

Here we go: SSH into LEDE

# opkg update

# opkg install curl

# curl -k -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tavinus/opkg-upgrade/master/opkg-upgrade.sh -o ./opkg-upgrade.sh && chmod +x ./opkg-upgrade.sh && ./opkg-upgrade.sh


I did not think I needed any updates since 17.01.3 has only been recently released but here is the output.







I saved a copy of the script to pastebin just in case it disappears for whatever reason:

Update:03/11/2019


Note:
I run the command

#  echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" | tee -a /etc/resolv.conf

To make sure the router has a proper DNS server, I have had problems in the past with this so now I just do it to save time just in case.
