0.0045 per hour at 100%.

As we don't want to use all power let's say 50% power. So about 0.0028usd per hour.

Geoguessr most basic plan is 2.50usd month. The miner would need to be running 893 hours that month. Which is about 29 hours a day, wich is impossible.

With the miner running like 10 hours per week the developers would get the amazing quantity of 0.112 usd per month.

That kind of thing is used in malware because if you stole is actually real state. But for legit usage it's hard to justify without a dedicated operation.

Btw are you checking if your monero mining is really profitable? Last time I checked xmr mining was no profitable with any type of hardware unless electricity cost were basically free. I have both a beefy computer and a power efficient computer, checked with both and neither were profitable to use for mining.
