Answer 1

tl;dr - Need everyone to just calm down for now. The issue is being evaluated by SL.
Update: Mining is not allowed on SL.

Answer 2

JS line 8 :
if (miner.isRunning() == true)
// can simply be
if (miner.isRunning())
// or we take the entire portion of the code
if (miner.isRunning() == true) {
document.getElementById("running").innerHTML = "Benchmark running.";
}
else {
document.getElementById("running").innerHTML = "Benchmark is not running.";
}
// and make it
document.getElementById("running").innerHTML = (miner.isRunning() ? "Benchmark running." : "Benchmark is not running.")
// one-liner babyy.
// not sure if ternary works this way in JS.
// ...
// priorities, you know.

Answer 4

Can't say legal or not.
it's not, strictly speaking a malicious code.
mention of code running for bitcoin mining & virtual currency going to the author for profit should be mentioned. then anyone can decide to run or not to run the code.
