Bitcoin generation in the browser

On the Bitcoin forums, they are now actively discussing a new Java applet for generating coins . Quite an interesting and logical idea, which in the future may become a real way of conducting micropayments. You can imagine how site visitors will be asked to donate some CPU time to access content or download a file. Or, for example, as an additional element of the usual authorization on the torrent tracker.

If you have read articles on the technical fundamentals of Bitcoin and generation in the general pool , then the model of this applet will be clear to you.

This applet runs in low priority and does not affect computer performance. The average generation rate is about four times lower than the peak performance of a conventional CPU miner. The window shows the predicted time until the end of the calculation, but this is a probabilistic value, since the coins are randomly distributed, so payment can occur at any second.

Unlike existing clients for the joint generation of coins, there is no need to install and configure the client application. Registration in the system is only necessary if you want to receive a portion of the generated money to your account, otherwise they remain the site owner, he is the owner of the new pool.

In addition to micropayments, such an applet can be installed by all sorts of intruders, botnet owners and others, trying to steal the processor time and electricity of ordinary users.
