blocking coinhive / JS miners

[John Newman]

This info might be useful for those that don't totally block
JavaScript in their browser, but want to be sure to block the new
influx of JS-based miners (eg coinhive).

I came across the list in a discussion of the new quad9 free DNS
service (at 9.9.9.9, hence the name), which supposedly blocks the
resolution of malware / botnets / "bad-guys" / etc, but is *not*
blocking any of these sites serving out JS mining code. I'd be
curious to know what anyone thinks of the quad9 DNS service.. I've
not turned it on yet anywhere, but will probably play with it at
home soon..

Anyway, the list of sites serving out mining JS lives at the
following:

The fellow who maintains this list has a little makefile one level
up that will add each host as 0.0.0.0 to your /etc/hosts file, if
that's what you would like to do with such a list. Details:
