“Although 98 percent of Tidbit’s infrastructure is in place, it isn’t ready for production use, according to the developers. They intentionally left out the final interaction (with Bitcoin pooling service P2Pool) while they worked on a set of terms and conditions. That’s why they were so surprised when New Jersey came knocking.  ‘We were served right before finals,’ Rubin told VentureBeat. ‘I think what was hardest is that I, and perhaps most MIT students, just want to build, make, and tinker towards a better future.’  Tidbit could enable websites to tap into visitors’ computers and borrow CPU cycles to mine Bitcoin. In exchange, the sites would remove display advertising for those who opt-in.”
