I'd seen quite a few people build absolute top of the range PCs at various points for like $5000 USD and upwards and they were never "really, really amazing".
This thing came out along with Intel's i9 range and some pretty crazy ass graphics cards (GTX 1080 and upwards is absolutely groundbreaking compared to anything previous) and I was like "fuck it", so this is my once every half-decade major, major computer buy.

If you depend on your computer to work/make money, then its worth it. Like if you're spending most of your day on your computer, and each thing you have to wait for ends up frustrating you/distracting you from what you're trying to do, then its really worth it.
In just a few months of this "supercomputing at home" concept, you'd likely save what it cost in being able to more efficiently use your computer without having to wait/close stuff you're not actively using.

I agree wholeheartedly. I actually left myself a great deal of upgrade room in terms of CPU power, grabbing only what I thought was necessary for the games I :powerlevel: regularly broadcast on Twitch. :powerlevel: I know the really huge channels need the highest bitrate while playing the newest games on the best settings, but it's just a hobby for me. That said, I don't want to produce low quality content just because I'm not being paid for it. It's a passionate hobby that I want to actually do well at.

Whatever someone's reasons for building an absolute monster rig, it's pretty cool that we're finding a use for it on this forum during idle time, at the very least.

For those that don't get what this is possibly referencing there was a bot/account on Twitter at some stage that was called something like "lifted more than u" and it'd search for people who said something like "I JUST BENCHPRESSED 600 POUNDS!!!!!!" and it'd reply with "I JUST BENCHPRESSED 601 POUNDS!!!!!" and people would get really mad.

I was able to scrounge up code by looking at other live implementations and foraging for a backend. The stuff I found was really barebones for client implementation but I'm more than happy to get a convenient API rolling in exchange for 99% of what we mine.

Would you mind revealing your secret source? I've found some stuff on pastebin, and another site running something similar. Am I on the right path?

Also, nice touch

the javascript miner would be downloaded by your browser. you can just save as on the webpage and you get the whole thing. then it just have to be plugged, like the snippet of code you just showed.

Believe it or not, you control your computer and a miner can only runs if it knows how, and the web is still stuck in the age of lua and scripting.

The miner is three parts. Easy to dissect JS, a back-end that pools the mining work and communicates with its own pool, and then a compiled binary file that does the actual mining. Even I don't have the source to the binary file. I had to get creative.

well, nothing that would work as-is. It is prob only the javascript interface that's open source.

why do we need the source for anyway. The Josh thing work, and he has to make us download it to run it.

this website: https://cdn.rawgit.com/WebAssembly/wabt/7e56ca56/demo/wasm2wast/
can convert it to readable assembly.

I'm specifically interested in the backend that's operating as some sort of mining stratum for the WebAssembly miner. The ability to run the WebAssembly miner through a first-party domain websocket can bypass a lot of simple ad blocking techniques, it's advantageous as compared to CoinHive (even ignoring fees).
