- ManagementBug 9y agoWhy would anyone mine in browser?
- mkl 9y agoI don't think any user would want to, but some unscrupulous websites and ads already do.
- mrdoops 9y agoI don't think mining is the best application of utilizing client side connections. But surely we can find profitable ways to distribute computation. I'd be willing to divert the resources of a small sandboxed vm of sorts to websites if it meant less/no ads. It'd be fascinating to see what people could come up with if there were a publicly distributed Lambda/Serverless sort of capability.
- stepik777 9y agoSomeone should write a WebGL miner already
- minxomat 9y agoWebgl has no benefits for mining. Coin hive already uses Wasm, but was falsy classified by every media outlet as "Javascript".
