Interesting. Is there anywhere I could try this out? For perspective, how many bitcoins per week would ~120 khash/s produce?

If you mine 24/24 it would make 0.02$ per month  Cheesy Wich is 0.0016 bitcoin per month  Cheesy

Whats the point???  Waste of coding effort if you ask me (which of course you didn't - but hey)

Using this to mine Bitcoins is like using a single drop of water to put out a forest fire. Good luck with that XD

Maybe someone can modify it to mine Litecoins, that might be like putting out a forest fire with a whole cup of water instead.

If you're going to do that, you might as well just download a miner.

It is a good proof of concept, while not efficient it opens the door to massive amounts of people putting there otherwise idle cpus to use.

CPU better stay idle than to waste energy for this thing. 1 month of mining for $2cent??

And fun fact: in the next months ASIC will arrives. Expect difficulty to skyrocket, like 10 times at least.

Then with this system you will need 10 months of mining to get $2cent lol  Shocked

I don't know, if youtube snuck that into their page I bet they would make a good amount of coin.

Because it would be distributed computing. The same concept behind mining pools. However, I do agree that it is a good PoC

Let's do some math. BTC0.0016 per month 60*60*24*30=2,592,000 seconds in a month.

BTC0.0016/2592000=BTC0.000000000617283950 per second

Visitors to YouTube per month = 800,000,000 = 26,666,667 users per day[1]

Average time spent on YouTube per month = 4,000,000,000/800,000,000= 5 hours per month = 18,000 seconds per month = 600 seconds per day[1]

BTC0.000000000617283950*26,666,667*600=BTC9.87654332345679 PER DAY

So yeah, that's a lot for a non-WebCL enabled Flash-based Miner.

Tried to make a calculator, but failed. So if anyone wants to play around with the code I have so far and host it on PasteHTML, I'll be very happy.

Most definitely interesting, but yah it would have to be a really really big media company like youtube or the like to make it useful.

Now imagine if ALL Google services (YouTube, Gmail, Search, etc.) implemented it! That would be a massive amount of BTC
