it stays on a page for 30 seconds, and has a pretty decent CPU.

I'm going to guess you could get a decent amount of monero mined...

Googlebot will only visit a page if it thinks that (on average across the domain), there are ~99 human visitors for every bot visit. So you'll have to hide the monero miner on a popular domain.

That definitely is not true. I know sites that have higher share of bot visits than 1%.
