The current American president, Donald Trump is going hard on illegal migrants from South America. He is seen to tighten the customs by imprisoning the migrants and even separating the children from families.

Blockmanity’s Take

The news about Bail Bloc may be spread recently, however, a Reddit post shows it’s been in the works for the last one year. It states details about Bail Bloc launching a year ago, to ‘Weaponize excess computing power against the Prison Industrial Complex.’ It further enstates the application uses 10% of your processor’s energy to mine Monero.

Monero has been involved in numerous scandals such as Cryptojacking which involves using website visitor’s computer power to mine Monero without their consent. However with such a stance being taken by Bail Block is ensuring that Monero may be playing hardball and stealing computer power to mine Monero, it also is giving back to the poor.

Bail Block is doing things differently by leveraging the ability to mine XMR using CPU and GPU systems. This allows users to download Windows on their landing page utilizing the spare computer power to be used for mining Monero which in turn is used for bail bonds.
