as I understand that doesn't work on the web, with Monero, because of a Monero design choice
Ah, that i wouldnt know
to be more specific, I have read in monero circles a few times that it was a deliberate decision that a miner can't be implemented in WebAssembly
Thats a shame because it would really allow for a massive boost in network security & decentralization. Imagine if instead of what Tor did, they actually just had a modified working version of RandomX which could generate revenue for owners.
To me it just seems like such a waste that proof of work challenges are becoming more common place but those CPU cycles are essentially just being wasted not actually doing anything of value. Like at least if they could be given work units to very briefly preform micro prime number calculations, at least there is some mathematical value in that.
hmm, I think it wouldn't be really useful for monero mining. even with p2pool mini you need hours on a simple machine to find a block, and you are waiting just for a short time on these bot verification pages/menus.
if you can adequately verify the correctness of the results, that could be worth something yeah
Not quite sure if this is the right place to mention it but I would assume that most people that want to post on a website or similar would find it quite sketchy if they would have to install and run an extra program.
Especially since you always hear that you shouldn't install random programs because of malware and so on
Thank you, that is actually quite interesting
