Title: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: hamdi on June 11, 2011, 05:42:59 PM is there any project working on a flash based bitcoin miner?
Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: CentroniX on June 11, 2011, 07:07:23 PM is there any project working on a flash based bitcoin miner? LinuxCoin can be booted from flash memory, if that's what you're looking for. http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7374.0 If you're referring to Macromedia Flash, no, not that I'm aware of.

Anyways to answer your question, there are none currently using flash Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner?

It'll always be Macromedia to me. ;D Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: willphase on June 12, 2011, 10:25:51 PM would probably be better off making a miner in webgl and hiding it in a widget on a page...?
W Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: pwnyboy on June 12, 2011, 10:29:09 PM You do know that there is already a JavaScript miner, right? If (re?) written properly, it could send AJAX updates back to a webserver which could generate your Flash on the fly, effectively accomplishing exactly the same thing.

It'll always be Macromedia to me. ;D Wishful thinking - Macromedia Flash/Shockwave were much better products. would probably be better off making a miner in webgl and hiding it in a widget on a page...? W I was under the impression that GLSL was garbage (even worse than javascript) at mining...? Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: forests on June 13, 2011, 08:38:46 AM I've been working on this. I'm very familiar with Actionscript 3, and ABC - Actionscript ByteCode, having written a decompiler & flash injector.
However I'm getting familiar with the bitcoin protocol and code right now, so no ETA for the moment. Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: Fakeman on June 13, 2011, 04:33:06 PM Hopefully this is not too far off topic. After reading this post I was wondering if there were any web-based GPU miners and I came across something on kradminer which appears to be just that. Unfortunately firefox has been crashing my computer lately (because of mining activities?) so I'm running the hated IE and can't try it. Does anyone know if it runs at a reasonable speed?

However this isn't something you could integrate seamlessly on a website to mine coins. Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: hamdi on June 14, 2011, 12:23:53 AM I've been working on this.

Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner? Post by: TheSeven on June 14, 2011, 10:49:34 AM I've written a quick proof of concept in actionscript, and it turned out to be slower than javascript. Much slower, almost a factor of 10.
And I don't see how one could do calculations on the GPU with flash. Title: Re: flash based bitcoin miner?
