I'd definitely prefer this to ads in a world where phone software and hardware improved energy capacity and efficiency at a faster rate than applications bloat.

I don't think we've reached that point yet. An iPhone doesn't last a single day if you use it the whole time, it would barely last for hours mining constantly.

Are you using tpb in your phone? I don't see why that would be an issue then

Though I agree this monetization tactic doesn't work on mobile

Why wouldn't you? There are multiple torrent clients for Android (don't know about iOS). Plus if you have a seedbox, you can add torrents from your phone - Transdroid/Transdrone are pretty good.

To add one more question to the one raverbashing posted: How long do you even keep TPB in the background on your phone for it to consume your entire battery?
