Cryptocurrency mining has a reputation for being resource intensive due to the coin miners of the past who used overclocked cpu and gpu devices before asic rigs became popular and server farms took over. Miners would push their systems to the extreme and semi-dangerous levels to squeeze out every last piece of performance. This is a direct contrast to our unobtrusive code which uses background spare resources as they become available. Our publisher mining system is built with the key purpose of not affecting user experience or deteriorating the page load speed of the website loading the code.
The mining code is less resource intensive than a web page loading a video ad for example.
The hash rate is flexible which means it goes up and down depending on the computing power available to the browser. Code is going to be run whenever a website visitor goes on a web page. Whether that be site content, advertising, menus, analytics or mining operations. I believe most visitors would prefer background mining to banner advertising or interstitial advert pages for example.
We do inform users before the mining starts with a privacy pop up which contains a link to opt-out of mining across the entire network. If a user decides to opt-out their computer will store that preference and mining will not run in the future whenever they visit the website.
I read recently about a bitcoin mining operation in China which was spending $40,000 USD a day on electricity to mine bitcoin. This was at wholesale prices and just one operation. I will do some research into the energy consumption of the entire bitcoin network at some point. JSEcoin uses excess computing power which is not being utilized by the average website. Electrical usage is minuscule as the devices are already turned on and the screen will be using significantly more power than the additional CPU calculations of the hashing algorithm.
Ethically I think we can make a strong argument for JSEcoin being superior to other cryptocurrencies.
If you would like to know more about us then please come and take a look.
