Comment on Tidbit: Client-Side Bitcoin Mining

Comments

So how many live clients would you need to mine 0.1 bc/day?

5 million, given present work factor and 20khashes/s per client.

For what time duration?

1 day? I think it was mentioned in OP in the form of 0.1bc/day. If someone big like cnn.com integrates this js code, you might make $20 a day. I still think adsense has better pay with that many viewers. One would need 5 million visitors to stay on your site for 24 hours. There are very few websites where people do that... maybe facebook/gmail.
