Don't mind me.
That fix works great when Chromium is the OS.  Roll Eyes

Guess I have to wait until that particular fix is mainlined then.

It downloads the .jnlp file when I try to go to Bitminter, and I can't seem to get Chrome to recognize that it can run that file because it does have Java. I can open a shell script on it though, but when I try to run it there, it throws a fit about basename or something. Any ideas?

Its a chrome issue. Look here:

See https://bitminter.com/ for the answer...

bitminter uses Java. For mining, thats fine, all the performance sensitive code is opencl anyway, so wether the code is compiled C or anything else doesnt really matter; but its not native client like asked above.  It is however a fine miner that runs from a browser.

You don't really. But if you could point a browser to a website, and mine the live long day at full power, that simplifies things a whole lot for people who don't have program running permissions. Bastion works a little too well on my Chromium install, tripping the overheat limit, so for sure the power is there, it's all a matter of application.

why would you need admin to mine?

Interesting bit,

Necro-Bump, because I have the same question, and I've been on a Chromium OS bender on a gaming laptop for the past couple days.

Does this mean that someone could develop a full speed mining client that ran the moment you open chrome to a specific web site?Huh

http://nacl-gallery.appspot.com/
http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/

(To get it to work read - http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/docs/running.html)

Could open up mining to anyone even those sat in offices without admin access to their windows PC?


Could be a whole new pool where any idiot just goes to a website enters their login details and address and get mailed a cheque every month with what they earn?

Or you could develop a site that gave some free service in exchange for using their gpu?
