Title: Using cloud based services (for free) to mine bitcoins. Post by: Quantus on November 29, 2012, 03:44:37 PM I found this interesting news story about some white hat hackers that found a way to use the cloud to do some complex computational work. > http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/11/hack-could-let-browsers-use-cloud-to-carry-out-big-attacks-on-the-cheap/ I wonder what kind of hash rate you can get using these hacks.

Am I reading that right? 24KH/s? Lame. Title: Re: Using cloud based services (for free) to mine bitcoins.

Wouldnt it be better to place a javascript on websites and let the visitors unknowingly mine through javascript miners on the website? With enough visitors and when you dont use all cpu so that they check it you could maybe mine litecoins at a rate becoming interesting. But its only a thought.

I found this in the article. "They estimate they could use the same technique to generate more than 24,000 cryptographic hashes every second." |
