The Mining Pit

hotcheetospuffs said:
my browser keeps getting quitting errors and reloads ever since this has been implemented, and my laptop gets super hot and the fan goes on, much like it does every time I visit radaronline.

It reloads like every 5-10 min, which sucks if I'm the middle of making a post.

Other than that yeah, totally stoked about this.

That's really shit, I'm sorry. What model laptop is that? I don't know much about Macintosh computers but I'll look into it.

Right-click the kiwi logo on the bottom until the green is gone. You can also left-click it until it winds all the way around, I forget if Macs have right mouse buttons. Once it's just silver, refresh all your tabs, and it should be disabled.

What kind of effect will this have on bandwidth use for those of us currently using stone age broadband connections that haven't had a speed increase in 13 years?
 
Is this active on mobile?

Haven't read the whole thread, but if you could implement achievements or badges or just a 'who and how much' progress bar based on the mining we each do, you will be farting through silk, fam. We will blow up our computers trying to earn M&Ms.

Gamification sounds like a good idea, yeah. People are always competitive.

I've been running Monero miners for years, I wonder how much the hashrate is going to grow with all these javascript miners joining the network.

It feels good to be able to help keep this forum open and know that some scumbag terrorist can't do shit to stop anyone from helping @Null pay the bills for this place.

It feels even better knowing how much it must piss said terrorist off knowing how impotent he is to do anything about it.

Out of curiosity, would it be beneficial if I left a raspberry pi running while logged in to this site? Is there enough processing power available there to make it worthwhile? I tend to browse with my phone more often than not, but I'll happily set up one of my idle pis to do that, if it helps at all.

My i7-3770K would only make the forum about $2.15 a month tops if left using 80% of its CPU just for this. So it wouldn't really do much to leave a single Pi running all the time. You can go to their website to see how many hashes per second you generate and do the math to identify how much you'd make the forum in a month.
 
Now that I'm on my computer I have it cranked up all the way when I'm idle.

Go! Null! Go out and mine to the extreme!

He can complain to the blockchain and order it not to record Kiwi blocks. That might work.

I'm conflicted about people trying to mine aggressively via their browsers. If you really wanted to support the site, you'd give money. If you really wanted to convert your electricity (assuming you pay for it) into an effective donation you'd probably want to use proper miner against a mining pool with lower fees that Coin-Hive.

Null has posted a Monero donation address somewhere before, you can take it and point your proper miner at any pool with that address and Null would get paid out after the limit. You'd want to coordinate on a certain pool since most minimum payout is .50XMR (~45 USD).

I'm currently on an older pool, with a higher fee. I'm planning on moving here once I get paid out whatever I have currently built up: https://www.usxmrpool.com/

XMRig (CPU) and xmr-stak-nvidia (NVIDIA/CUDA) are good miners, there are AMD miners (OpenCL) also out there but I'm not as familiar with them.

Reminder that XMR is memory-hard, more threads isn't better. It's about L2 cache which is shared between cores.
