Google Chrome Native Client - Full speed GPU Mining in a browser???

[nibor]

Does this mean that someone could develop a full speed mining client that ran the moment you open chrome to a specific web site?

http://nacl-gallery.appspot.com/
http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/

(To get it to work read - http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/docs/running.html)

Could open up mining to anyone even those sat in offices without admin access to their windows PC?


Could be a whole new pool where any idiot just goes to a website enters their login details and address and get mailed a cheque every month with what they earn?

Or you could develop a site that gave some free service in exchange for using their gpu?

Necro-Bump, because I have the same question, and I've been on a Chromium OS bender on a gaming laptop for the past couple days.

Interesting bit,

Graphics, audio, and much more: Run native code modules that render 2D and 3D graphics, play audio, respond to mouse and keyboard events, run on multiple threads, and access memory directly—all without requiring the user to install a plugin.

why would you need admin to mine?

[moocow1452]

You don't really. But if you could point a browser to a website, and mine the live long day at full power, that simplifies things a whole lot for people who don't have program running permissions. Bastion works a little too well on my Chromium install, tripping the overheat limit, so for sure the power is there, it's all a matter of application.

See https://bitminter.com/ for the answer...

bitminter uses Java. For mining, thats fine, all the performance sensitive code is opencl anyway, so wether the code is compiled C or anything else doesnt really matter; but its not native client like asked above.  It is however a fine miner that runs from a browser.

It downloads the .jnlp file when I try to go to Bitminter, and I can't seem to get Chrome to recognize that it can run that file because it does have Java. I can open a shell script on it though, but when I try to run it there, it throws a fit about basename or something. Any ideas?

Its a chrome issue. Look here:

i wouldnt recommend using the solution described there
its like auto running all downloaded executables

[moocow1452]

That fix works great when Chromium is the OS. 

Guess I have to wait until that particular fix is mainlined then.
