This would be great for CryptoNote Webminers running WASM in the browser to help users understand you don't have to juice every thread/cpu in order to effectively mine at scale using a proxy like the one provided in Webminerpool.
- TheDong 8y ago> effectively mine at scale You mean "in order to spend an extra $2 in power to make 3c for someone else"? Very effective. As long as there are more price-efficient mining pools which are an appreciable fraction of mining power, it will not be cost effective to mine anywhere less efficient since margins will naturally approach what those larger pools can support. A consumer desktop will never be able to compete with a centrally cooled data-centre which likely gets special power rates and was intentionally built in a location power is cheaper in. Especially not if it's having to go through wasm.
