The Mining Pit

[Null]

You said at the moment it's a flat 30% per tab, but whether I have 1 or 4 open the H/s seems to stay about the same - Is it supposed to be adding them, or is each tab showing its own rate?

The numbers are not synchronized or communicating in any way, so they are displaying that tab's work.

Edit: To hammer home this point, the miner generates a unique ID (UUID v4) each time it is instantiated. This UUID now appears in the footer. When they are syncing, I will have the UUID be the synced UUID instead of the tab's unique one.

Is there a way to block the miner now? I sometimes open the farms while live streaming and my PC and it can affect the stream. (If the options to turn it off get added fast enough this question might be moot of course.)

window.miner.stop(); should work, but it will restart when opening a new tab. I will have the stop function ready soon, but it'll roll out with the rest of the storage stuff.

Whenever I visit the Farms, my fan starts to get really loud. That triggers me. But I am happy to contribute. Although I look forward the stop function so whenever I start gaming, I can turn it off. When I play for example Empire Total War, I use to minimize it sometimes to read mails, browse the farms etc (war is hell and I need my brakes). When a Kiwifarmstab is open, it freezes when I minimize it. Every time else it doesnt. Just fy info.

Edit: More modern games work well with it (Civilization 6)

@Null - Any chance you could turn this feature off for supporters? or at least make it an option?

Apologies if I'm late on the conversation but chances are supporters will have paid more in a single donation than free users will through mining anyway.

Edit: I wouldn't care much but now KF hogs my CPU and I have to make sure no KF tabs are open before playing games.

It's already in the works, my friend.
We had to leave the mining thing we were in for various reasons, so he needs to build the framework again so that people can turn off, or up, how much processing they wish to contribute.

It depends a lot on the game. I haven't really kept up to date with the most cutting edge games but from what I know most games only ever use cores 1-4 (or threads 0-7). If you have enough cores to play with then you could theoretically just disable Chrome from using the first few while still contributing.

I'm sure there are some games out there that will use all cores regardless, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority have only ever been able to use up to 4 (and in fringe cases 6).

Thats true, Civ 6 can be explicitly started with win 10 64 bit support, and it is possible that it uses all 8 cores. I try to disable some cores for firefox and then try again. Thx for the info!

You should make YouTube videos too so that you get an endless stream of ad revenue from a totally non-biased company and find a way to make every member autosub to that channel. You'd make a killing and won't be demonetized if you stick to videos about like a car or a car or something like that.

Null should start a Let's Play series

No problem, glad to hear it's been thought about

For those of you seeking a more semi-permanent solution than opening the console to stop the miner every time you open a tab, until there's an actual stop option anyway; get yourself a script-blocking extension like NoScript or ScriptSafe, and make sure the <NOSCRIPT> option is checked.

The only downside is that you will have to pause it/uncheck it if you want to reply to posts, but if you lurk a lot it should do you good.

I've got a few 8 vCPU VM's just watching the site each doing like 30-ish hashes per sec. Go team.

 

[KiwiMisetté]

Interesting.

Didn't know that KF would eventually stoop so low that they would get into malware business just to keep their servers up. So greedy! /sneed

Seriously however, it's a rather cool thing to see that I don't need to do anything in case I wanted to support this place.

Just voicing my concerns; while I like the idea in theory I don't like the current implementation and I'm having the most difficult time stopping it from running in my browser. My Ad blocking client doesn't appear to be stopping it and trying various custom block lists isn't doing the trick either. My home desktop isn't so bad, I don't mind it there. But my work laptop is a much different case. I don't want anything obtrusive or resource intensive running on it. As it is I'm not able to browse Kiwi Farms on my work computer at all, which is where I do most of my browsing/posting.

I would much rather just donate a flat amount to Null again to have it disabled, I've already got BTC I can use for that. I don't mind supporting the site but I'd rather just put my money where my mouth is and not deal with mining.

Open the JavaScript console in your browser (F12 in Chrome) and type

window.miner.stop();

and hit enter.

Look, I understand where you're coming from. Did you not read any of the recent posts in this thread?

The current implementation of having no control over the miner is TEMPORARY, due to someone getting involved and causing a mess due to us being on Coinhive.

Null needs to code a front end so that control can be returned to each person, and he has given instructions a few different ways on how to stop it in the meantime.

Give me back my cpu cycles you jew

The current method of doing it is absolutely fucking terrible but will almost certainly be gone in less than 48-72 hours.

Roadmap is one tab, then ui. I'm up and will hopefully finish it today.

I most assuredly read the last four pages of posts looking for information but I figured it doesn't hurt to provide my feedback as well. I love this forum and I'd happily donate to it in other financial means, including BTC. Unfortunately the only method I've been able to get to work is the one @SoapQueen1 mentioned.
