Browser Mining

[cirko]

Your computer will join a pool of computers mining cryptocurrency. We will payout roughly every 68 hours. This algorithm is very compute heavy and – while overall pretty slow – was designed to run well on consumer CPUs.

There are solutions to run the Cryptonight algorithm on a GPU instead, but the benefit is about 2x, not 10000x like for other algorithms used by Bitcoin or Ethereum.

This makes Cryptonight a nice target for JavaScript and the Browser. Of course, when running through JavaScript performance still takes a bit of a toll, but it's not that bad. Our miner uses WebAssembly and runs with about 65% of the performance of a native Miner.

For an Intel i7 CPU (one of the fastest desktop CPUs) you should see a hashrate of about 90h/s. A native miner would get to 140h/s.

What is this about anyway, CPU mining for bitcoins is no longer profitable and had not been for a very long time.
Is this about a new crypto coin or are you trying to tell people that they can mine bitcoin via a different algorithm?

I assume that it mines XMR(Monero) via the CoinHive algorithm, thus it doesnt pay out BTC at all but XMR. Another important question is, how much does the site actually keep for itself? I mean, you could create your own site with a CoinHive scrypt and bypass the third party website, thus earning more XMR.
