Advertising and Mining: Oil and water? Beer and Milk? From clever brains to wicked skulls, from new-age Salons to dark alleys of malvertisers; many have tried to mix these two ingredients for more revenues. The right cocktail has still not come about though. Neither cryptocurrency is egg yolk, nor a digital ad cottage cheese; but somehow these two end up turning into a ‘Cement Mixer’ or ‘Motor Oil’ when shaken together. There has to be some safe spot in this spectrum between a sticky mass and a black mess. Well, a lot of shots have been taken at that. And yet, we are staring blankly at a table that has set the same concoction of confusion again. On one side are announcements of mining services (and banner-ad alternatives) lik ...
