browser mining

[bitbollo]

yesterday In a italian newspaper I find a news about piratebay and they abilities to mine btc just with... a user browser!
while you're visiting their site you are mining some block! I never heard about this possibilities... Today I see on moonbtc:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mining Bonus
When you tick the Run mining bonus checkbox we will run a background POW mining process in your browser.
Later when you make a faucet claim we will calculate an extra bonus of up to 100% on your faucet claim!
The bonus amount is based on how much hashing power you have contributed while the mining process was running - so to maximize your bonus you must leave the Moon Bitcoin tab open in between claims.

PLEASE NOTE: This mining process will increase the CPU usage on your PC/device whilst it is running by up to 30%.
The mining bonus is completely optional so if it causes a problem for you then please turn it off by unticking the Run mining bonus checkbox.

We are facing a new mood in the crypto industry? I think this could be a big advantage for every one has a website!
What do you think about it?

It's just being implemented at freebitco.in as well. You can adjust the CPU usage from 10% through to 100% so you can leave it running in a tab while you're working on something else on your computer.

My computer is already bad
 I feel like visiting sites like these will kill my computer.

Is is quite simple to implement and no one has data about real earnings yet. But this is a good way to use idle CPU all over the world.
I hope that will be done with the user knowing and not in the shade.

haven't visited those site yet but thanks for the heads up i guess i can use this inside my small computer shop as i can use the mining from the background while the players are playing and browsing the web since its still got a year warranty from the store, lets see if how much can i have while my computer are also being paid by the players.

For anyone worried that sites will abuse browser mining this open source project aims to create a blocker plugin: https://github.com/keraf/NoCoin

Don't understand why some people are so against this. I'd much rather give up a slither of my CPU to help websites I use stay online than be bombarded with annoying ads that make my computer slow.

Win win imo

I think it's a great alternative to ads and a nice way to help fund sites.

The pirate bay already abused its users by covertly running a monero miner at 100 percent CPU power. If they had revealed that they wanted to move to a browser mining funded model there would be no problem.

Other sites will try the same tactics; the blocker plugin gives users control over their computer's resources and site owners an incentive to inform their user base about the benefits of browser mining. We live in the age of services such as patreon, many users who appreciate a site will help pay for it to stay active, no need to pull a fast one on users.

Freebitco is also experimenting on it. I tried it a while ago and it seems quite interesting. Who doesn't want to earn extra satoshis. It's also good for beginners in my opinion.

articles of 2012-2013 it was very popular at the time to get a script on your webpage to have unsuspecting visitors
to mine bitcoins for you,it is pretty much useless nowadays since it would bring peanuts even on sites like amazon
so,no you won't get rich mining with your browser   maybe extra 1000 satoshis or so
in a year

javascript is calling https://coin-hive.com/lib/cryptonight.wasm

Coinhive offers a JavaScript miner for the Monero Blockchain

everyone with a website can mine with your browser without knowing

identical to an ad block. no more I guess. every one should be able to chose if use or not this mining script, like an ad = close it.
But even is a win win solution for all sites that are not showing any type of banner like wikipedia!
I don't think is profitable as operation for the end user (because 1000 satoshi in a month are a big estimates LOL ) but for site owners with big traffic this could be a new solution for earn some extra bucks.
We will see, if this mining operation can conquer other websites/ business .

minergate used to have browser mining option, Also nimiq also has browser mining option though it is only for testnet. Some say as the plugin is implemented in javascript it would not be feasible or efficient but in case of websites with huge traffic specially video streaming website where user spent lots of time watching videos I think webmasters will make some good money.

If you guys would go and read why they did it and what happened with the 100% mining rather than just claiming they are trying to do you dirty you might understand a bit more. All these click bait headlines claiming it was done nefariously is such bullshit.

The 100% usage was a mistake, it is now set to 30% cpu usage and only on one tab no matter how many tabs you have open. They publicly posted about this and asked for feedback yet everyone is running around saying they are just trying to steal your CPU cycles for their gain. They are TESTING this as an alternative to ad revenue.

They also explicitly state that current gen adblockers will stop this from happening if you dont want to participate.

I want to ask the truth that in maxut with the mining is what I do not understand the word of the mining

Thank you

[Cereberus]

Not new, Freebitco.in also offers such service, now piratebay and even moonbitcoin that is good news apparently . The problem is that if you value your processor you better stay away from this kind of mining, it will start by making your computer lag depending on the coin the website is mining through your processor and it will not make you any decent amount, only very little satoshis daily which doesn't make up for your increased electricity you are using during this process.

This is something I DO NOT recommend.

[Bitcocoin]

Does this have a solution? I need a good computer.

[joshuaj]

I remember minergate offers browser mining before, and they shut down it one year ago. I think this is because of low hashrate from tiny miner, then minergate must use a powerful server to handle the network bandwidth.

[stugots2]

trying it now lol

[stugots2]

OK doing it now!!!

Nimiq

on 5 different PC's and a tablet.

WTF determines the hash rate???

My fastest system is the lowest Hash, my middle PC is the highest has and of course tablet is the weakest.

For sh!ts and giggles I pulled out an old Core 2 duo and its getting a better Hash then the fastest computer.

Also you can open incognito browsers and open several so far does not seem to bother hash rate

so again I ask WTF determines hash??? so confused

Based on my tests its not.

CPU, RAM, Disk, Internet speed or even browser type because it demands the newest Chrome.

[stugots2]

actually found a block already too lol
