blablace isn't in the list. Add it to noscript with coinhive, all the protection isn't enough these days. Minerblock also is very good, so you should also add it, because it has it own list with almost all the miners.

The domain is dead, from https://hardwaresfera.com/en/noticias/semana-la-ultima-web-descubierta-mina-criptomonedas/

What we have covers more than 90% of coin miners.

No match for domain "BLABLACE.COM".
