Taking control of one's browser to mine cryptocurrency has a somewhat of a negative connotation, but UNICEF Australia is seemingly doing it for good. 。
The charity has launched something called The HopePage, which allows people to make a donation by keeping the webpage open and using your computer's CPU to mine those digital dollars. It taps into an application by Coinhive, which mines Monero.。

"The HopePage allows Australians to provide help and hope to vulnerable children by simply opening the page while they are online."。
