CoinHive Captcha - Mining captcha

From a website owner's perspective the Coinhive captcha works exactly like a conventional captcha, such as Google's reCaptcha.

The captcha is embeded in an HTML form, runs client side in the user's browser and generates a token. The token is submitted together with the other form data. You can then validate this token on your server through our HTTP API.

Am I understanding this correctly when I say that this script is mining cryptocoins on the users computer?

If yes, then who receives the funds?

Probably a variant to this: https://www.google.nl/amp/thehackernews.com/2017/09/pirate-bay-cryptocurrency-mining.html?amp=1

Earnings are for the website administration probably

Do you think that this addon can evolve into a more complex one?

For example: include a miner widget that read from coin-hive APIs how many hashes users solved and then use this numbers for criteria?
