Mining experience in working with browser extensions

 

A webmaster who works with browser extensions shares his experience: On the forum I saw a topic about browser mining and since the earnings on extensions were unstable, I decided to try to monetize in a new way.

 For those who are not in the know, browser mining is when cryptocurrency is mined at the expense of the user, more precisely at the expense of his hardware and his computing power. For the user, this
process is almost unnoticeable if you choose a reasonable mining intensity, and not drive it to the fullest. The cooler may turn on for cooling, but when you watch videos it turns on anyway, without mining. Therefore, in most cases the user does not notice anything. There is, of course, a question of legality here, but no need to worry. The user is shown a notification that his computer is mining and, if desired, mining can be disabled. So everything is fair and legal, search engines and antiviruses do not swear or ban you yet. And I hope that they won’t start soon, although in theory they shouldn’t. So now about the main thing - about my income from this whole venture. Below are the results for one day of work. The average calculation speed was 120,142.36 h/s, earnings at this speed were 1.74 XMR ($156.6) - this is data for the day.

P.S. The data is a little outdated :) Today, the amount of mining is approximately 30,000 rubles per day.

The volatility of the “cryptocurrency world” is very high, so earnings vary considerably and depend on many factors. For example, on the complexity of mining, the exchange rate of the mined currency and computing power. So you shouldn’t expect stability here.

On average, I was able to earn about $5.5 per hour with 10k active users (let me remind you, we are talking about browser extensions). In general, earnings are calculated in Monero (XMR) and payments are also ordered in it, but you can withdraw them in WMZ or BTC according to the exchange rate at the time of withdrawal. So, for those who invest in Bitcoin it is very convenient. And finally, the statistics for the week.

In addition to browser extensions, you can also earn money on websites, but in this case the user must spend a decent amount of time on the page. It’s not difficult to guess that movie sites and music sites are best suited for such purposes. So if you are watching a movie online, and the cooler is humming like a steam locomotive arriving at the station, there is definitely something to think about.
