How do you feel about browser-based mining?

[zina75]

I now earn monero through the browser on the site. There is little money now. Does this business have a future?

[jillscarbrough]

No future for this kind of "mining"   

Basically, when you are doing "mining" through your browser, you were doing mining using your CPU resources, then why didn't you doing the right way to do mining using your CPU?

mining right through the cpu?
I ask for a more detailed explanation about it, because I am a beginner and why there is no future for mining through the browser is there a lot of fraud in it?

[edwardceng]

let's look at the reasons why almost all miners don't recommend to mine using a CPU or Browser:

• For now, some miners in other countries have shutdown/sold their GPUs because can no longer take a profit one of them because is electricity cost. GPU alone can't make a profit anymore let alone just use CPU / Browser
• CPU/Browser will have a bit hashrate.
• Just a waste of time if you want to get a profit from the CPU/ Browser.

i'm pretty sure he's talking about mining via OTHER PEOPLE that connect to a website that you yourself are operating.

The Pirate Bay is doing the same thing. anyone who uses their website will have their CPU mining XMR to the website owner's address. the case of youtube ads minning while watching a video was the same thing

a bit of code and no power costs. sure CPUs are slow, but if you have a site that gets millions of visitors, then you can make some good gains. honestly it's pretty similar to a bot miner, but only active while you are on the website. so you have the choice to visit that site or not.

i see nothing wrong with it as long as you are upfront about it.

[edwardceng]

yeah, I know about it. 3 months ago I tried on my PC using VBScript just wanted to know if it worked/Not and it worked fine.

but I do not recommend it let alone use someone else's property without a permit.

No there is no future for this , if you are mining threw browser that means you are probably not have the right equipment to do a real proper mining , you are using your personal computer resources and heating it for something not worth it .

If you have a real strong cpu or gpu that can do proper mining I recommend you to do mining threw a mining software .

Browser mining is a big NO NO .

[poiseulle]

mining is to compute, compute need computing power, how browser can provide any computing power?

~Snip~

Of course YES.
Some script applied to the website to access our CPU resource for doing mining. As this comment said:

Yeah maybe. 
AFAIK, there is two type of this kind of "mining" that existed now.

- The websites that offer us for doing mining through the browser and they'll pay us back.

- The websites that were doing silent mining, their visitors don't know that this website will access our CPU resources and do mining for the site owner.

Both have almost the same ways of working. Then I can say for sure (as my above said) "No future for this kind of mining"

[leowonderful]

I see it continuing in the future at the least. It's an alternative to ads,  which can be somewhat distracting when you're trying to browse a page, and I personally haven't noticed anything too bad in regards to temps and CPU usage when I've gone on sites with browser miners in the past. CPU mining isn't too profitable as a whole, and even less so when you're talking about using the power that a browser miner has, but if a site brings in lots of visitors (like PirateBay), it is possible that the site could be supported by that alone. Adblockers are starting to implement ways to block browser miners, though.

If you're talking about mining for a profit through your browser, though, you might as well forget about it. Even the most powerful CPUs don't make a lot after electrical costs, and you're better off with a GPU or ASIC if you want to seriously mine.

Anaconda is a TSX-listed gold mining, development, and exploration company, focused in the prospective Atlantic Canadian jurisdictions of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The Company operates the Point Rousse Project located in the Baie Verte Mining District in Newfoundland, comprised of the Stog'er Tight Mine, the Pine Cove open pit mine, the Argyle Mineral Resource, the fully-permitted Pine Cove Mill and tailings facility, deep water port, and approximately 5,800 hectares of prospective gold-bearing property. Anaconda is also developing the Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia, a high-grade Mineral Resource, with the potential to leverage existing infrastructure at the Company's Point Rousse Project.
The Company also has a pipeline of organic growth opportunities, including the Great Northern Project on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and the Tilt Cove Property on the Baie Verte Peninsula, also in Newfoundland.

[matthew1981]

Correct me if i am wrong, my knowledge in mining is using your cpu/processors power to do the others task. So what is browser-based mining?

[cod3rx]

No good feeling

[jillscarbrough]

Yeah, that's right.

So what is browser-based mining?

A few people have mentioned, and a bit explained this above.

I see it continuing in the future at the least. It's an alternative to ads,  which can be somewhat distracting when you're trying to browse a page, and I personally haven't noticed anything too bad in regards to temps and CPU usage when I've gone on sites with browser miners in the past....

I'm not sure if "using visitors resources" can be compared to some ads content, moreover if those sites didn't notify their visitors that their CPU resource will use for mining. For me, that's a less proper way to be applied.

[ForeverAlone35]

I think it's not very good, on the processor, bad mining. And sites that offer mining directly on their website, they do not exist for a long time. Or they will ask to download their program or plug-in for the browser, and there is a virus. Therefore, I do not like this kind of mining

[zina75]

yeah, I know about it. 3 months ago I tried on my PC using VBScript just wanted to know if it worked/Not and it worked fine.

but I do not recommend it let alone use someone else's property without a permit.

The use of foreign computer resources without the permission of the owner is illegal. I do not recommend doing it - it's very, very bad.

JSEcoin use an OPT IN small banner which uses less power and PC resources than a video advertisemne

Yes, consent is key. I believe getting the consent of users visiting your website will be the future of this type of mining. They are indeed a good alternative to ads because would you really rather see a page full of ads or would you rather let your idle CPU validate some transactions? The latter is obviously more preferable. Especially because you really aren't going to spend the whole day visiting the same website anyway.

yeah..
I have 2 websites for hotels and 4 websites for High school for now already 2 years running but I don't do it (running a script for mining with Browser) although they give consent with zero of fees because I think I do not want to sacrifice clients and visitors just to get a bit coin

[rolleth.io]

This greatly slows down the browser.

[Bagroth]

I hear about Minergate and I know that service like this will mine something but because you dont wanna learn how to download miner for example claymore and edit config by yourself you will pay them extra fee.
Propably better is nicehash than this.

Website Miners<Nicehash<Mining by yourself
