Title: A Java Applet Bitcoin Miner? Help? Post by: nicholasd on October 21, 2012, 06:18:15 PM Hey everyone, Nick here. What i'm interested in is building myself a java applet miner that will mine bitcoins for people that visit the website. How would I go about doing this? I take the hash from the pool and run it through something in the java code I imagine. I'm wondering if any one has maybe done this in the past for a personal project. I have seen bitcoinplus.com which is great, but i'd really love to have my own that I could work with. I know it wouldn't be the fastest miner, but it could be a good way to monetize traffic.

I do know of an online litecoin miner, if you think that'd be helpful, I can give you a link. Good luck with your project! Title: Re: A Java Applet Bitcoin Miner? Help? Post by: nicholasd on October 21, 2012, 06:30:32 PM Right I don't want to find another one what I'd ideally like to do is create one that I could use, and put on websites, and offer it to other webmasters even. Do you have any idea how a miner is built and how one would go about doing it in java? That would be so awesome, I know I will get it done i'm just looking for the right direction!

Title: Re: A Java Applet Bitcoin Miner? Help? Post by: gweedo on October 21, 2012, 07:31:20 PM I wouldn't make one, it would be a lot of energy and time for a little or no pay off. Plus people would noticed that there CPU's were spinning up when they visited your site, and probably stop. So this is a horrible idea.

Title: Re: A Java Applet Bitcoin Miner? Help? Post by: DrHaribo on November 01, 2012, 09:22:02 AM BitMinter client is a java webstart based miner. That's pretty similar to a java applet. But I'm not sure if it is possible to access OpenCL from an applet. If you really need it to be an applet (and not web start) then perhaps you can use WebCL, but I think that's still alpha grade software.
I wouldn't recommend using the CPU for mining, even from assembly language, and much less with something else like Java or C, or even slower languages. At this point I'm not sure I would recommend putting a lot of effort into GPU mining either, as ASICs should be out soon. |
