[LTC] Online Litecoin Miner

[MrGaSp]

I've added this to my site, i plan on implementing some php code to change the throttle based on user settings.  Most of the users are happily keeping their browsers open as a way to donate to the site's server costs.

Thank you for this, never got a chance to.

Hey, interested in Litecoin's web miner in particular, since I'm running one of Hexxeh's Lime builds of Chromium OS. (.5 seconds from Closed Laptop to Working Laptop, mostly.) Anyway, it does have a version of Java on it that it finicky with Java Web Start, but applets should work fine, which is why it's bothering me why it isn't working. Where would be a good jumping off point to find out where the holdup is, what can be done, and possibly figuring out how to port the original C miner to the all-powerful Native Client, since Chrome has ties directly into hardware?

PS: The version I'm using is from January, since the newer version doesn't play nice with my hardware, so if any of you guys are interested in making a boot stick, here is what I am using. It's an .img file, so burn that how you would.

What version of Java is it?

[moocow1452]

1.7.0_01 according to the verification website.

I did try this webminer on my websites and it was generating me LTC but it was also blocking some people from viewing my sites so had to take it off.

You might want to try putting the miner in the footer. That way the miner will start when the page finishes rendering and displaying.

I put it below the Google Analytics's code?

I agree, the footer is the best place.

We were testing it in our footer. But we did get a complaint it wasn't working with Chromium on Ubuntu.  We were only running it at 20% capacity as well to reduce chances of slow page loads. It's disabled currently.

Any way we can point it to mine at a different server address? With the pool being down due to DDoS it would be useful if I could point the miner to another pool that is still up. I had to disable the miner entirely because it was destroying load speed trying to call to a DDoS'd server for the miner script...

The miner won't even load anyway. Copy-paste their sample code into a new HTML file and save it to a webhost; The Java applet will fail to load.

on linux:

Code:

[2012-12-13 11:23:55] 2 miner threads started
[2012-12-13 11:23:56] Permission error
[2012-12-13 11:23:56] Miner stopped

so somehow I would have to give the java plugin extra permissions?

Same with chromium and firefox

The miner is working just fine on my page at: http://www.crypto-radio.com

Mining on by default, they must opt out ... why am I not surprised.

That's the way pooler wrote the code, if you or someone else would like to show me which part of the code to edit and how I would be more than happy to change it.

As it stands it takes 2 seconds to click the button to opt out, your choice is remembered for every subsequent visit and it's only using 2% of your spare cpu cycles that aren't doing anything anyway, so it's REALLY not causing THAT much of an inconvenience that you need to come here and whine about it like I just launched a full-out assault on your cpu...

Just for reference:

I have written a simple widget that allows visitors to start/stop the miner, and uses a cookie to make the decision persistent.

http://jsfiddle.net/pooler/XB5Fg/

This is an opt-out version, i.e., the miner is auto-started by default. An opt-in version can easily be obtained by changing the condition in the "if" at the end of the code.

More explicitly, it should be enough to change

Code:

if (document.cookie.indexOf('mineLTC=0') == -1)

to

Code:

if (document.cookie.indexOf('mineLTC=1') != -1)

@pooler:
could you setup a way to simple use a other pool with ur miner or allow registration again? just wanna test it out since i love these ideas.

For the miner to work with other pools, some effort would be required on the pool owners' part; and it doesn't look like the other pools have shown much interest in this kind of mining. Anyway, I have written a miner and adapted the pool I run to work with it. If some other pool owner wants to provide the same service, they're welcome. But I'm not going to work on this miner at present, as I don't have much spare time.

Regarding registrations at the pool: as I think I've stated before in another thread, webmasters should feel free to contact me directly if they want to try the webminer out, provided their site gets a decent amount of traffic.

This. It doesn't do anything. No CPU usage when visiting the pages I embed it in. No hashes on referenced account, ever. Not even 1.

litecoinpool.org embedded miner doesn't work. Doesn't give an error, just does nothing.
