Title: What Web Based Miners are Available?
Post by: super3 on April 23, 2013, 05:56:13 PM
Looking for something using Javascript or WebGL or something. Most of the web based miner projects seemed to be abandoned since 2011. Any help or info would be appreciated.

I think all of the web-based miners were CPU-only.  I don't know of any attempt to try to create a GPU-based miner that would work via the web.  Maybe WebGL is capable of handling that, but it looks like those CPU web miner developers decided not to pursue that option.  I would guess they would not be as efficient as a locally installed, dedicated GPU client, but I don't know anything about WebGL, so this is pure speculation on my part.

Every single web miner on that list is gone. :-(

Given that a large number of machines ( website users ) can potentially do a lot of computation, I have started working on a javascript miner ( not java ) a few months ago which can take advantage of just-in-time compilation in the new browsers to achieve a high speedup compared to the existing javascript miners. I performed a lot of code optimization techniques and my preliminary results show more than 10X speed up compared to the best code that I found in internet. Please message me if you think this is something that might interest you in any way or if you have any insights.
