Before someone here reinvents http://www.bitcoinplus.com, he might give a try to the original.

I am using it on a few low traffic blogs, and it is not intrusive at all, since it runs at low priority. But in about 3 months made me 0,003 BTC, since cpu mining with javascript is efficient like sh*t.

And that's the reason javascript miners for btc are plain stupid, so hosting websites and put a javascript miner on them will never be enough to cover the costs.
A javascriptminer for litecoin would probably be a whole different story.

Another nail to add to the list:
Really, really, really easy to disable the javascript miner.

Personally, I like this idea better.

Imagine a laundromat where the dryers are heated by bitcoin mining rigs. And you pay for the washer/dryer time with bitcoins.

here's a revolutionary idea: get some skill and do some work

But coming up with ideas for scams is his skill. Atlas-pony has a broken lightbulb for a cutie mark.

I like the way you think! Grin

I don't think it is right to use others' CPU cycles without their permission. It will give Bitcoin a bad name.

Didn't stop him last time he had this idea.

Bitcoin is antisemitic

Yes! Let's clandestine steal people's CPU cycles for our own gain! Screw them if they don't see it coming. We should be allowed to profit from their ignorance. That's how I feel about it, anyway.

I'm sure users of fee based services like exchanges and auction sites would prefer mining in the background to paying fees.

nothing is free."Subsidizing" transaction costs only works if it's distributed. You pay through your electricity...and who gets the mined coins?

You guys are goddamn scammers. The lot of you.

Why do people feel the need to insult libertarians? Believe it or not, there are principled reasons for believing in a contract-based society.

LOL. Principled contract-based society == "hide stuff from people in page six of the EULA". Awesome.

How about turning it into a game like Farmville. Apparently in this game people are pointlessly clicking around with their mouse, and by doing so they are being rewarded some points. Now there can be a game where they earn points without having to be clicking around pointlessly. Grin

Every libertarian principle I've ever heard or read about has involved screwing over somebody else. This goes for most bitcoin endeavors as well.

I agree that browser-based mining is a good idea. It would need to use WebCL and the client's GPU to make it worthwhile.

Of course this is one of the fundamental tenets of libertarianism: "Only I should be allowed to steal!"

Mr. Goldstein, you may not be aware, but there has been a previous scandal in our community with Javascript mining. These kids running a podcast used Javascript mining without asking permission - essentially stealing from their viewers. There was a HUGE expose on The Bitcoin Show if you want to read more about it.

So you can understand how this technology has gotten a bad reputation as facilitating theft. A Javascript miner that asks permission would be another story, but in any implementation you'd be working against the sour reputation the technology has acquired from imprudent use.

I think Atlas is quite aware of the prior scandal. All too familiar with it.
