I accidentally stumbled on this site http://www.bitcoinplus.com/miner/embeddable and I would like to know if there are more similar and how do java script mining and whether it is successful thing that is most cost-effective way of mining

Geez, that really is a blast from the past. In the times where CPU-mining was still possible, a large set of CPU miners (botnet / website visitors) could really earn you some BTC, but even GPU mining is obsolete, many ASICs even are, so CPU-mining on an interpreted language? It's like trying to drain a lake with a teaspoon for dolls!

Yeah, seems quite futile to say the least. But it's interesting to see how things worked back in the days of CPU mining, isn't it? Cheesy

On the bright side: The fact that mining on scripting languages and even pure CPUs isn't worth the effort, will remove incentive to devise mining malware and mining botnets!

It's a bit old school but should still work.

Bitminter is a 'pretty' Java app to mine with but it still runs cg/bfg miner (I could be totally wrong about that though;-)

Java is not javascript. Also bitminter is standalone and does not run cgminer.

Ah. See? Totally wrong ;-)

Not totally wrong, actually...

Back in the day when DrHaribo included the CPU miner in older builds of the Bitminter client, java was included as one of the 2 work processes available, and actually for my mid-2007 Mac running an Intel i3 (pre-OpenCL support), the java process was the more efficient of the two.

Next is a proof of stake Java mined coin.

I'm not sure about the site you linked to.

I found this one for dogecoin. https://www.idigdoge.com/
Did you meant Javscript or Java for scrypt mining? Grin

Not that I know of any, but forget that site - many complaints about not receiving payment. If I were you, I'd try googling around or searching in the Mining software board.

No - "Java scrypt mining, Why?"

You have a perfectly good cpuminer at your disposal from multiple mirrors/source repos all around the web (Java's a notoriously terrible work process for mining).

WeMineLTC has a miner you can use on their site under "Getting Started" at the bottom of the page. Compare your CPU's performance with pooler's cpuminer. While DrH's Bitminter client runs from a Java environment, its only to run the GUI - all the actual work done is through either OpenCl etc for a GPU or through your chip's firmware (i.e. 'Antminer work process' for Bitmain chips).
