Title: New browser miner! Very fast!

MOD EDIT:
Sketchy link removed


Just found it online and I generated about .000012 BTC in like 25 minutes. I don't understand how it works but it is working and it even has a feature where you can send your personal address to a friend and there computer can mine for you!


Let me know what you think!

The 0.000012 BTC you generated is worth ~$0.0014 (one-seventh of a cent). A typical desktop CPU uses somewhere in the area of 70W of power (not counting power consumption of other components and loss due to PSU efficiency being less than 100%) when fully loaded. So that's roughly 0.14 KW/h of energy consumed for ~$0.0014. If your energy cost is less than $0.01 (1 cent) per KW/h, then you're making money. But unless your power is free, the price won't be that low.

Browser-mining will use the CPU and CPU-mining BTC is effectively dead.

It can also use the GPU:

do not click the link. it is a hijacker.. instead check the posts of the person instead . he wrote a reply in the noob section that browser mining is useless.. but the post above it in the noob section has the link and the sentance "Let me know what you think!"

so it looks like the OP clicked the clink in noob section yesterday, fell for the trap and now its posting on his behalf..

i recommend getting all posts with that link deleted before we have 5 noobs clicking on it, causing 5 random posts which will multiply.

gotta admit cpu mining, browser mining and those mini miners the size of usb pen drives are out of date techniques..

it has to be high end GPU, FPGA, ASIC if you want to stand a chance of "making an income"

3 hours work for a penny, even the sweat shops in asia would refuse to work for that low price. so the only reason i would see anyone even bother advertising something like this is normally a dodgy trojan...
