So boxmining@boxmining almost got scammed due to Google Ad's. See the video below. If you are lazy type and type out the word in google instead of the entire website. There is a way to block Google Ad entirely. I use a chrome app plugin called uBlock Origin. It blocks everything by default.

Boxming Youtube Video

I use Metamask in conjunction with UBlock as well.
Wrote a blog post here with Metamask in action.

With UBlock


Adblock

Go to Options
