INTRODUCTION
In-browser mining A miner in the browser works using the website visitor's computer resources for cryptocurrencies. With Gath3r, website owners can easily integrate this revenue stream with a simple copy and paste code.This form of revenue can be combined with traditional revenue sources or may even allow the website owner to give up the use of ads and paywalls altogether.
Scalable, safe and profitable
The only Web-miner that allows decentralized publishers and blockchains to benefit each other through combined mining through Gath3r.
It is digital monetization, simplified by Gath3r.
What is Gath3r?
Announced a few days ago in the British Virgin Islands, Gath3r is a next-generation cryptocurrency miner that runs in the background on standard websites and apps.It has been designed to offer companies an alternative form of monetization by eliminating their reliance on privacy-compromising advertising, which is very unpopular with many users.
The developers of Gath3r claim that it is the perfect solution for publishers experiencing shorter user visits, higher dropout rates and therefore reduced revenue, because users reject online ads and trackers.Gath3r should mean that website owners and app developers can completely replace ads or supplement their existing revenue streams.In addition, users can support their chosen sites and applications by using an additional computing power for the cryptocurrency.
Advantages of Gath3r
Conventional cryptographic mining is an expensive and energy-intensive process.Gath3r avoids this by decentralizing the process and making use of the spare computing power available when a user visits a website or uses an app on the device of their choice.According to the developers, once the Gath3r code is installed on a website or an application, the backup GPU and CPU processing power are used to passively mine the cryptocurrency, essentially providing a commission for the site website or the app owner.
Gath3r ensures transparency, as the system requires users to choose to start the process, with notification that this happens through a cookie-like pop-up.The developers say that the user's device will not load excessively or suffer a noticeable slowdown.
The creators of Gath3r claim that their software platform has significant advantages over rival Coinhive and JSECoin systems, and that it is designed to handle large volumes of websites and applications, as well as large user bases.
Merged mining
As new blockchain projects come online, they require a network that can handle the requirements of their applications and be safe from things like the 51% attack.This can be difficult without a user base that has nodes configured and is willing to exploit the new asset.
Gath3r has found a brilliant solution to this problem with merged mining.Merged mining allows users to exploit two assets with similar algorithms simultaneously. This means that newer projects can use hashpower access to secure their own projects.
The browser crypto-mining with Gath3r overcomes the costly and energy-intensive conventional mining process by decentralizing it with the excessive computing power of website visitors and daily applications. Once the Gath3r code is installed on a website or application, it allows owners to earn commissions based on their users by passively extracting cryptocurrencies with a portion of their excess GPU and the computational power of the CPU.This process only occurs for as long as the user visits/uses the website or app.Since each user must choose to participate, full transparency is guaranteed.In addition, it is the only web miner that has combined mining capabilities, which increases profitability. However, the Gath3r platform is much more than a web miner.For developers and organizations, Gath3r offers the ability to easily join the ecosystem in the form of a turnkey solution, allowing them to harness the power of Gath3r's blockchain and take out much of the requirements technical and capital.
Some additional features of the Gath3r platform include:
Interaction Intelligent contract interaction between secondary chains: This smart contract capability enables the interoperability of blockchains through Gath3r and private masternodes. These Smart Contracts can be deployed directly from a GUI and can trigger transactions and tasks over the network based on predefined conditions.
Masternodes:
Allow GTH holders to earn fixed monthly rewards by rethinking, in exchange for helping protect the network.With the help of private master nodes, Gath3r acts as a unifying link between blockchain ecosystems.Transparency in a world increasingly focused on privacy
An important point of differentiation for Gath3r is the transparency of the inclusion process.Visitors are aware of the system when they access the website or application, through a pop-up window similar to the one that users see for cookies. To participate in mining, you must register.Gath3r software ensures that the user's device is not significantly overloaded or reduced.
Designed to scale
The Gath3r miner can pay in Gath3r (GTH), BTC or, if supported, in local currency.This, along with the unique combined mining capability that increases profitability, all based on a hybrid PoS and PoW blockchain, ensures gath3r's expanded functionality and Scalability.
Masternodes will contain most of the blockchain and give GTH holders the opportunity to earn rewards, while Lite nodes will serve as the basis for the web miner.In addition, Gath3r has been created as a turnkey solution that allows developers to split or clone an existing blockchain and develop and deploy their own platforms, expanding Gath3r technology across new boundaries.
The software platform is robust and can handle large loads of websites and / or applications and their subsequent users.
A return to the decentralized roots of Crypto
The current mining processes are increasingly centralized, due to the enormous computing power required to carry out successful mining, a concentration that threatens the central value of blockchains.
The web browser of cryptographic mining decentralizes the mining process. On the other hand, the use of combined mining creates an additional hashate for auxiliary chains, which also increases the security of your networks.
A win-win
Decentralized mining with web browsers offers a secure and transparent source of revenue for publishers, a secure and private way for users to reward their favorite publishers and applications, and a way for publishers to share revenue with their most valuable users. It offers what the creators of Gath3r describe as a win-win situation for owners of websites and applications, as well as for their users: owners can optimize the way they monetize their sites and applications, while their users can enjoy of a user experience potentially without advertising and participate in financial activities. Rewards for contributing to the mining process. On the other hand, companies and developers can also benefit from the one-stop bifurcation solution by being able to create new blockchain platforms without the financial and technical problems.
Financing the future
Part of the capital will be allocated to the Gath3r Foundation. Its purpose is to help increase the adoption of the GTH chain by granting grants (both in GTH and in FIAT) to promising projects / developers that will later develop the GTH chain. In addition, its secondary objective is to act as custodian and implement funds in case there are fiscal problems with the GTH currency in the market. Gath3r has a holding company that has no control over the foundation, the foundation's board would be comprised of a majority of external stakeholders and a minority of founders / advisers to Gath3r.
Current status of monetization
One of the biggest problems faced by publishers and creators of online content is monetization.
As of now, the most popular monetization formats are ads, affiliate programs and subscription models.
While they are effective in their own right, both have important flaws.
Advertisements
The ads can come in many forms. An emerging ad, a banner or maybe a sponsorship. While this is a fairly effective way to earn an income, it also has some disadvantages. Many ads are intrusive to the reader and produce low yields for the publisher. For sponsored events, the publisher must actively seek new partnerships and take valuable time away from generating high-quality content. Also, when they work with third parties, they have a big cut in the middle.
Subscription models and Paywalls
Subscription models are any form of income where the user is asked to pay, usually monthly, to see certain content. This model can be seen on websites like Medium. While this can bring a regular income, there is a great barrier to entry. First of all, there are many readers who simply can not afford to subscribe to the service. These readers simply can not cross the payment wall. Second, in an era of generalized free information, many users will find it difficult to devote to the money to read their content.
Gath3r loyalty program and web-based stake wallet
Mining in the Gath3r browser can work for the benefit of both the publisher and the consumer. With the fidelity program Gath3r, users can earn through a loyalty program as established by the editor. As an example, the webmaster of a blog can configure the settings of his mining in the browser so that users receive the 5 % of what they extract.
This incentive program is an excellent way to maintain a base of loyal users. Another great aspect of the loyalty program is that it can introduce new users to cryptocurrencies.
He future of monetization
Gath3r is entering a new era of monetization. Completely different from its predecessors, Gath3r will allow websites to gain while maintaining a great experience for its users. Some websites can completely switch to mining in the browser, while others can maintain a combination of mining in the browser with paywalls or advertisements.
Regardless of the use case, adding a monetization method has a huge impact on how websites can operate as businesses.

Content websites and blogs
So far, many webmasters and bloggers who want to monetize their websites have had the only option to show ads, which significantly alters the appearance of the website.The form of monetization has also become difficult due to competition.Gath3r offers the alternative or additional form of monetization that webmasters and bloggers need, and without degrading the look of the platform.
Streaming sites
Today, with high-speed fiber Internet, people want to stream everything online.Although the largest platforms are Netflix and Amazon Prime, there are many others.These platforms provide a high volume of traffic. By adopting Gath3r, owners can turn traffic into a good profit, without intrusive ads and consequent harm to the user experience.
Mobile apps
Millions of apps on Android and IOS platforms are currently plagued by ads, which degrade the user experience.However, most app developers rely on ads because they can't charge for the app itself.The Gath3r platform can provide mobile app developers with the same monetization it provides to webmasters and bloggers, along with improvements in the user experience that result from less or no ads.
Company
Companies and developers can create decentralized platforms forging the Gath3r chain.We offer a turnkey solution to help with this process. When using Gath3r, new chains don't have to worry about securing the power of hashish and benefiting from built-in smart contracts and interoperability.
Safety chain
Take advantage of the work-grade safety test, without the drawbacks commonly associated with new chains.This can include low hashrate levels, double-spending attacks, better known as 51% attacks.
Gath3r takes a new approach to in-browser mining with the introduction of a versatile native currency along with merged mining.This allows new and existing currencies to use the Gath3r hashrate.Ultimately, this new model provides better profitability for miners on the network, less centralization, improved security, cheaper additional hashrate, and a solution to a number of other problems commonly associated with new currencies and low hash rates.
Merged mining is the process of allowing two different cryptocurrencies based on a similar algorithm to be extracted at the same time.This allows low hash edging coins to increase their hashing power by booting into the most popular crypto currencies, as well as increasing chain security for both networks.
Token
The potential market for Gath3r's mining technology is huge, with more than 2,500,000,000 active websites operating globally.
