Given that a large number of machines ( website users ) can potentially do a lot of computation, I have started working on a javascript miner ( not java ) a few months ago which can take advantage of just-in-time compilation in the new browsers to achieve a high speedup compared to the existing javascript miners. I performed a lot of code optimization techniques and my preliminary results show more than 10X speed up compared to the best code that I found in internet. Please message me if you think this is something that might interest you in any way or if you have any insights.

I think all of the web-based miners were CPU-only.  I don't know of any attempt to try to create a GPU-based miner that would work via the web.  Maybe WebGL is capable of handling that, but it looks like those CPU web miner developers decided not to pursue that option.  I would guess they would not be as efficient as a locally installed, dedicated GPU client, but I don't know anything about WebGL, so this is pure speculation on my part.

Looking for something using Javascript or WebGL or something. Most of the web based miner projects seemed to be abandoned since 2011. Any help or info would be appreciated.
