That may be true for Ethereum or Bitcoin, but not for Monero.

The Coinhive Monero miner is about 65% as fast as a native miner would be, at least in Browsers that support WASM.

Disclaimer: I wrote the Coinhive Monero miner.

How does it feel to see your code getting used worldwide... almost entirely by deceitful scum?

You get a lot of hate. But I think what you did was really cool!

Thank you very much for this information. Supports for WASM looks decent. Looking into it now!

Only 65%? That’s an opportunity for a 50% speedup by writing in native code. And running on the GPU would be even faster, no? What’s the protection against that?
