You've got to keep your eye out on how to access the full power of the client's GPU. I just saw how IE9 and FF4 offer GPU acceleration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7VLB4DcXhg
Also, when the user is scrolling the page can you throttle down, so basically the idea is not detract from the user experience. On-demand throttling down somehow. Maybe when a tab is not visible.
Yeah, I'd really like to use the GPU, it would be a huge speed boost.
Was it lagging when you were scrolling down? I try to play nice with the CPU and run it at low priority, so it shouldn't interfere. What OS/browser/java version combo has trouble?
Ha that's great. I've already thought through a lot of this.
One thing that'd be interesting is just to have a donate bitcoin button/address as part of the widget. "You don't get shit you don't ask for"
Also, the way I see bitcoin becoming more popular is when it's offered as change. So if a person wants to donate with credit card say $5.00, they can get like $2 back in bitcoin. Next site they visit they might donate with the bitcoin. In fact, simply tracking what a user visits and then allowing them to donate at a later time to all of them is the key.
-- add:
also talk to hotels, hostels and those that they outsource to for their PCs. Upvote my suggestions if you like them!
I don't have Java installed and don't want to install it. I wonder if internet cafes and kiosks would be interested in something like this. You could create a url shortener that place their homepage in a frame or something.

We really think alike - the captcha idea, and the URL shortener with a miner at the top were two of my first ideas for uses of an API.
I didn't think of marketing it to internet cafes/kiosks though.
