Hi

Are there any websites I can mine via a browser?

I think there are no concrete evidence or code that is existing or could be running within the desktop browsers as we recently heard from sites that is revenued by ads and so they'll make some money in behalf of ads but if it is possible then how would they run mining though most of desktop has a minimum of computing power?

They're using javascript, yes it is very slow, but imagine what thousands of ants could do. They'll build a large house thing that I don't know what's called in English. It's like a botnet, more computers = more power. It has been tested and the numbers shows that using this new mining script generates less revenue than Google Adsense. The webpage also tends to crash on my phone.

Yes there is a website which offer to mine through web browser, but I wouldn't call it mining.
It's not worth at all, as you can get more satoshi through faucets and you may have to pay more for electricity than what you will earn.
There is no easy way to mining, you need super computer and powerful gpu to build a mining rig, or you can spend so much money into cloud mining and deal with the risk until you get ROI in 4-6 months.

you cant  just call the guy dumb  because hes asking something in fact you should be the one to do some research first before answering here and to tell you its possible to mine bitcoins on any device using a browser as long has it have an internet conection.

Yes your right, Freebitco launches their own mining function through computer browser though it is still in beta phase, we can see that they have a great idea implementing internet mining or browser mining. It requires your desktop CPU and a stable internet to mine bitcoin in their faucet, already tried it but you can just earn some few satoshi. I think my Computer specs sucks that's why.

There is "Bitcoin miner" in Windows store (only for windows 10). Very easy to use. Tap in an adr. and run.
Gives you about 1000-1500 sat a day, whether you use a core2, core3, core5 or core7. Does not seem to be many sat difference between these.

You are right bro. Freebitco.in enabled that feature to test run it for some days and now they have removed it again. I mined and got few coins there.

I don't know any services that allow to mine with browser, you can try MinerGate or NiceHash, they are a good software and you can mine with CPU too

Yes absolutely  :D

https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/pirate-bay-cryptocurrency-mining.html

pretty nice concept, using the visitors CPU instead of showing ads to generate revenue if it is limited to ~20% of your total CPU.
Soon there might be miningblockers alongside adblockers  :D

If you are trying to mine bitcoin in your browser, don´t.

1) mine altcoins
2) don´t mine in a browser but download a minersoftware.

Forget about that, it's not profitable anymore and focus on something else.
Most of online faucets or browser mining are scams so don't trust them. If you have money and low electricity cost, buy some rigs and start mining by yourself.
Mining these days is being done by big companies that invest alot of money that's why it is hard to compete with them.

I heard that freebitco.in is a trusted faucet site and always pays me. Now, they provide a passive mining using our browser. I don't know how that work but when I see, it looks like pretty simple. Hardware is the most important factor, of course. But you are right about building rigs.

We need to build a powerful computer so that we can mine better. Not just better, but real and profitable. I don't know anything about the browser mining, is it better than faucet ? I think hardware is the number one. So we better invest our money for building a GPU miner.

Freebitco offer to mining through we browser but you need a high-end super computer and stable internet connection, but it seems inconvenience.
Personal computer without good hardware to mining bitcoin will not enough, you need ASIC hardware to mining and it costs thousands of dollars. So, I do not recommend to run your computer for hours and let a site to take advantage from your internet connection and browser.

In theory you can mine through your browser, but you will get nothing out of it. You can earn a few cents a day at best and you will spend more than that on electricity and your computer will be basicaly unusable because of high CPU load.
So in shortest: You can, but don't. ;)

The way I see it is that it is more of a faucet rather than real mining though admittedly I have not made some serious research into this thing and who knows if there can be new development allowing us to do crypto mining using just the usual browser we usually have on our PC or any gadget. Anyway, the concept of browser mining is really good but as of now there is no proven infrastructure for it. Hope something good can be done on this idea, though.

I think is not wise to mine using browser it gives a little hashpower and it turns your computer very slow so i advice use mining rig in mining to make a good earning

There are but I do not really consider that mining. Sure, they can give you some satoshis daily if you have a free system without really doing much but consider electricity except you are not the one paying for it.

You can even download some apps running some javascript for mining or use freebitco.in that started their testing phase recently and see if it can work up to your expectation. Google should give you more details of what you want. For freebitco.in, you might want to consider using a system with a very good processor.

You can not really mine from your browser, what you can do is to mine using clouds like Hashnest connecting to them by a browser. When you mine with a computer you mine with its CPU (or GPU), not with a browser.

 You can however use some browser websites that say they will mine for you. There are some good reputation Cloud Hasing Farms where you rent hashing power and also some other Cloud Hashing Farms that come and go after some weeks. These can give you a certain profit if you are consequent in your endevours. 

I can't do with this old pc. Mine via browser ? i never find a profitable place, except cloud mining with long time to reach ROI. But freebitco like other people talk around here who is based on faucet it's not profitable to mine on pc, untill now i know only freebitco the only i know except web who has already connected with the software like contellect

It is via JavaScript and even the PirateBay uses the same idea to mine bitcoins off of their users' machines. I wouldn't call it browser mining since it's only the command that exists within the browser and the full action is still carried by the processor of the machine. Also, it wouldn't get to anywhere since CPU mining only uses too much power, produces more heat but produces little to no coins at all.

Yes, do more research before posting such a dumb reply

You can mine Monero with Coinhive solutions. You install a chrome extension, fill the Api keys and simple click start mining. Thepiratebay used coinhive to make its mining test.

I have never touched it, but the assumption should be that of the three PC mining, browser mining and cloud mining, browser mining should be the least effective. From what I have seen, there is no such thing as hitting the GPU in browser mining and you would not be getting a good direct shot at the CPU without the browser having more elevation than it should in the system. It is there as a nifty thing for people to get attracted to.

There is one project called nimiq which is implementing such feature. This is to allow the wider community to be involved in the mining process and distribution. The project seems promising.

Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that make use of encryption for security. As they are anonymous and decentralized in nature, one can use them for making payments that can’t be tracked by governments. As crypto-mining has gained popularity, the website owners are now using cryptocurrency mining scripts to use the CPU power of the visitors for earning profits. This has also inspired some developers to come up with methods to block cryptocurrency mining in the web browser via different methods.

What I would think would be a good idea is browser mining on sites where you are going to be for hours anyway and not interacting much, like watching a chart on an exchange without actually trading, otherwise, it is a waste.

Many websites and faucets are offering this service now. And I am using them for almost 1-2 weeks successfully. The one I recommend though are:

-Moonliteco.in
-Moonbit.co.in
-Moondoge.co.in

You can grab all your coins deposited to coinpot.co.

Moreover CoinPot itself is now offering browser mining, which I am using now instead from Moonxxx. Moonxxx as coin faucets only and coinpot as wallet + browser mining.

I am not posting any referral link as I am not sure if it's allowed or not. Please clarify if it is or not.

My 2 Satoshis...

In fact there already are mining blockers. Adblock plus added that functionality a few days ago.
https://www.neowin.net/news/adblock-plus-can-now-stop-sites-from-mining-cryptocurrencies-on-your-pc (https://www.neowin.net/news/adblock-plus-can-now-stop-sites-from-mining-cryptocurrencies-on-your-pc)

Yes you can mine some satoshi by desktop browsers. But your electricity bill will be more then your earn. There also some website for mining. But very small share they will pay you. So for me and my suggestion is that better you buy strong desktop and buy hardware for mining to get good earning.

This coinhive is currently "popular" in faucet world and some owners are use their service to mine Monero through users CPU.Some hide it in script and others give it as option,but in general from what I can see this is waste of time and CPU.Depending of your CPU you can earn few satoshi every hour and this is just not make any sense...

One user is post this,it is just his calculation but I think there is no profit for small users in this browser mining : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1672870.1180

I'm afraid there is no website that I know of that would allow mining since the equations are getting harder and harder and the browser with a desktop can no longer handle mining bitcoins. If you want to mine you will have to get a very good graphics card with a powerful computer and a specialized system that would allow you to mine.

Owners of websites don't pay any electricity costs for mining. I don't know how these scripts work internally, but if they have 10,000 visitors on the website at any given time, and they can combine hashing power of their CPU's, they could make about 5 cents per day at current price of Bitcoin. It's really not much, but I guess it's better than nothing for some website owners. And maybe as also some people on these forums, they believe Bitcoin will go to 500,000 USD. In that case the profit wouldn't be that bad in the long run.

yeah i agree with you because mining in browser wont make you rich infact youl loose more in terms of paying the electricity bills if you leave your devices on just to mine bitcoins on it. i also tried mining on freebitco.in using my mobile phone and its not that really profitable and i only got 30+ satoshis for running it in an hour also your actually mining monero not a bitcoin, they are just converting it to bitcoin.

If you are getting $5-10 per day, then its a nice site. I will try that site and write the review here. Can you post any payment proof here from that site. Because its really difficult to believe a newbie's words. Anyways just now I registered in that site. Let me see how much I am gonna earn from it.
Guys you can also mine using faucethub.io. Check out that. Accumulated satoshis are payed directly to your faucethub.io account.

Really stupid question. You should search before posting such a question, but I ll answer you, you can but it's really more than pointless.

I think you can't mine via browser, and if you found some mining sites maybe it is just a big scam. They'll just waste your time, and ask you to pay first the fee before you can withdraw your mined bitcoins which isn't true. So you will lost some profits of yours, so do not easily believe on websites that is so attractive and call themselves as mining site. There are a lot of them on internet/web, think first. But try faucets similar to mining, some of them are legit websites but you can't gain enough profit from it.

Buddy, there are some sites where you can mine via browser. They are actually mining monero and pays the miner in btc. They are all legit sites. But don't expect to become rich in one day by using those sites. You can get maximum 3000 or 4000 satoshis per day if you use 4 threads of your pc to mine. You nust have heard about faucethub.io. Its the best microwallet service available at the moment. They are also providing this this type of mining. They are doing it by using coinhive.com. If you have time check out coinhive.com. You will understand everything.

Find it hard to understand that someone will use their PC for 24 hours to get only 3000 or 4000 satoshi,this is insane and only complete newbies who do not understand how little that is will try to do such thing.Power consumption it to big and what any user will do to his CPU during that time makes this operation insane.

Some user report that first PC are burned and I bet there will be many more angry and disappointed users in future.I know what FH offer and that there is warning,but most of users there so badly speaks and understands english.This lesson will unfortunately be learn the hard way.

There are not so websites, where you can mine with browser. Install BTC or altcoin mining software for this, just look on your CPU usage then too. If everything is ok, you can work with your desktop and at the same time, your computer will mine either BTC or altcoins. First of all miner must be very developed for smart mining via home computer.  ;D

It looks like a joke. You said that whether we can do mining with the desktop browser. That means you say we can do mining with the browser and you do not mean cloud mining. Look at and learn what mining means, mining requires a very heavy process and it looks impossible if we just rely on the browser. In fact currently circulating tool mining is very sophisticated and expensive. It proves that doing mining requires a very heavy process. The hardware specifications that we belong to must conform to the specific requirements that are compatible with the coin we are mining.

Never thought that Freebitco.in has a mining option now as I've known them to be a good faucet since last year. Will check them out later.

I think browser mining is a good alternative to mining rigs since rigs are very expensive to build but we should be aware that there's only little profit for this kind of mining. I guess we can do this one if we use our computer all day.

It's true it's probably not worth the trouble. But some people have access to free electricity. Like students in their rooms, employees that can mine at work at the expense of employer and I believe some countries like Venezuela have free electricity for it's citizens. And maybe they just think even if my computer makes a little more than nothing, it's still better than nothing at all.

But mining Bitcoin with browser is probably the worst option for them. If they wanted to mine some change It would be better to mine some crypotcurrencies on Equihash algorythm with a mining client software. Equihash tends to be the most profitable to mine with CPU's and lower end graphics cards.

The same thing with bitcoin and regular money :)
I think electro cars will be more popilar in the future

not for bitcoin.
but do check out nimiq, the miner client is on browser, so basically you mine nimiq (NET) using browser.
The mainnet is not launched yet.  However you can try out the beta.

You can mine Via desktop browser by Javascript but i won't recommend you that thing because it's too slow. the best way to mine is you have the mining rigs but you should risk big amount of money. it will give you big profit.

JScript when will mining is comes with the JScript alone. You need to have batch file to start mining in your PC but it is profitable way to mine any altcoins as well.
If you wish mine bitcoin you can only go with ASIC miner machines only. Desktop mining may burst your board in your PC.

Jsecoin let's your mine on web browser

Coin hive mines monero xmr but 3.8 billion hashes to get 0.5 xmr may never happen unless you have high traffic web site you own

Minero mines xmr but you can get paid in altcoin via shapeshift

There is also Nikon coin (?) But still only test net

some torrent site like tpb are using a mining browser script that "auto mines" from browser of users, so yeah it's possible

Yes there is a website which offer to mine through web browser, but I wouldn't call it mining.

such a great idea bro.i really cant believe it.,but its true as u posted your own minung system.hope i could learn more from this.thank you so much

You should look into https://www.nicehash.com/ if you'd like to mine with your CPU or GPU.. that's the closest I know to mine via a "desktop browser"

You can use miner gate software to mine.Only altcoins could be mined using it.It could be downloaded from their website.Two or three altcoins could be mined at the same time.You could use it to mine monero,zcash or else,you can choose other altcoins.Even with CPU system,you could use their software.

But remember,it may damage the mother board of your laptop or system.Also  you could not expect huge profits from it.

i think i remember with minergate which we can mine via a browser by adding some scrypt to our website but i don't know its there is still a chance to us to apply. in that time, i remember we only need to have a website, then we copy the code from minergate and then we need to paste it into our site. but unfortunately, i don't trying it so i don't know how it works and i am only trying with their software to mining with my computer. i think you can visit on minergate to find out more about this.

I tried minergate before cpu,gpu and browser mining but i was not able to mine any coin from that application because i think i have very slow desktop. I am not sure also if there is someone here who is profiting in minergate but if you have a good spec you can try that app but it will eat lot of resources in your computer. anyways best wishes to you.

No, you need to have at least desktop application installed on your computer

Exaclty. There's no such thing as mining in your own browser. You can utilize cliënts such as minergate but those aren't really profitable nor are they in a browser. A browser can't generate the needed energy/power to solve the hash functions that are required in order to receive freshly mined bitcoins. I also recommend you to properly read up on how the mining process works.

miner gate? heard that but I don't know how its work, maybe im just afraid to take a shoot on that site but as it recommended here at our forum, I think its safe to be use, ming rigs are so expensive and by this suggestion it think ill give a shoot to experience how to mine on some other coins, next to mine is bitcoin if I learn how to mine.

yes you can mine bitcoin using a desktop browser , ive seen many sites lately that offers a browser mining but  you cant earn much and its not worth the time to do and i can say that bitcoin faucet is more profitable compared to mining in browsers. if you want to realy mine then buy a hardware miner or asic miner to get the best results although it  would cost you more expenses.

what you mean is that gui for mining statistics right?
what you see in the browser is the status of the miner,
ho much it gets hash, how many shares it gets and how long
but not necessarily mine on the browser just saying

With the help of a browser you will help someone, but you will not earn anything. This has long been clear to everyone.

There's a lot of website where you can mine however, most of them are not legit and just a waste of time. It is very rare to find a legit minining site compared in recent years. So I suggest that having a mining device is much better than earning in websites.

I don't think so mining is possible, for mining it requires more powerful systems or rigs to get you profit.  In simple words can say that browser mining is slow and it will get you only small amounts of satoshi's  in a day which is not profitable.

Is there any proof of this you can post in here. With today's bitcoin price rate the 1K to 2K satoshi per day is lot with only browser mining. May be whatever you calling is not actually browser kinda mining but looks like windows additional software like those of nicehash miner using the cores. Have you got paid by the way, so that we can proceed for trying it out. :-)

You might end up shooting your electric bill without a corresponding increase in profit.
In other words, mining is not profitable on desktops.

yes u can but depends on ur desktop computer hardware.

Recently, there has been that talk about discovery of mining scripts installed on various every day websites, that used visitor computing power to mine coins. However, putting aside the immoral and maybe illegal point of this story, you can set up yourself such website. Turn it on, or send the links out to your friends to run the site. However, you won't expect a much profit with little visitors, there is always a way.

Yep, particularly monero can be mined even with Javascript, so just google a bit.

Some mobile apps as well, although hashrate is rubbish

I believe minergate already has this feature, tried it once and the max hash I got was 5/h

can but not recommended, because mining through the desktop will earn less income so useless if mine using your desktop browser will not get The desired coins are so numerous and waste your electricity and internet costs

http://www.brominer.com/?395 Obviously, it'll take eternity to actually earn anything useful, but y'know... (Edit: I'm yet to get a payout, so could be a scam, but seems vaguely legit) (2ND edit: 'brominer' link has a proper FAQ and pool, looks better)

Still waiting for a payout, so looks like a scam, frankly...

you are the one that is not informed this time

You did not create this thread then why you bother about it buddy. I see that you have suggestions the old topic unnecessarily. These kind of move should happen forum. Whenever you digged the old topic you may get the message saying that deleted post from the moderator btctalk. Please be ignored to make the post in old thread until there is no issue or chat about it.

Check out JSECoin

Depends on what cryptocurrency you want to mine and your use case:

If you want to mine Monero on website visitors' browser, use coinhive.com or its alternative.

If you want to mine Monero on website your browser, use Pickaxe (chrome extension):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pickaxe-coinhive-monero-m/ohlbpbhmhjadmjfibjmhbjjkefnehknp

However, as stated in many comments above, mine through JS on browsers is slow, nearly non-profitable.

Yes, coins via cryptonight algo like Monero can be mined through Browsers.

I am sure you are looking for minergate.com, you can easily mining on yours browsers. But i suggest not to do that, it might make your computer slower, harmful when you run it  for long time.  ;)

If you have your site or browser extention you can check Gridcah.net, really good alternative to coinhive with low fees and advanced protection from adblocks and av-s.

Browser mining is utilized by websites that have a hard time earning anything from ads. However, it's very intrusive and some antiviruses block it along with the entire site. Mining through a browser to your own wallet is possible with certain services, however it's not profitable at all on a small scale. https://minergate.com/ had such feature, not sure if it's still up. Monero profitability should be dying soon as ASICs are released for it.
