If you own websites with tons of traffic, you can essentially replace all your monetized ads with background web mining. In other words, your website visitors can now enjoy your content ad-free, in exchange for a small computing power to mine cryptocurrency for you.
Not all cryptocurrency can be efficiently mined via browser. Currently, only CryptoNight based currency, particularly Monero (XMR), can be mined efficiently using CPU.
The following are 5 sites that can equip you with the capability to perform web mining.
Coin-Hive
Coin-Hive is one of the pioneers in web mining. And they have been working hard to innovate their mining approach, to differentiate themselves from the competitors. Apart from the primary background web mining function, Coin-Hive also enables Proof-of-Work Captcha and Shortlinks.
Proof-of-Work Captcha works like the usual image-based Captcha, but utilizes the user's computing power to unlock the captcha. Shortlinks function like an url shortener, in which computing hashes are generated in exchange for access to the website being proposed.
They have a comprehensive API library to facilitate integration of the webminer into your website, allowing your visitors to support your content with an ad-free experience!
CoinImp
CoinImp is an alternative to Coin-Hive, especially on certain sites where Coin-Hive is blocked by ad-blocking extensions/add-ons. It provides a similar set of APIs as that of Coin-Hive, allowing you to integrate web-mining into your webpages. Proof-of-Work Captcha and Shortlinks are not here yet, but may be in the pipeline.
In any case, the web miner integration is extremely easy for CoinImp, in terms of setting threads (core/cpu) and throttle (speed). Of course, integrating at least two web miners on your sites increase your chance of visitors supporting your content through web-mining. Bear in mind, if both web miners are successfully executed, the overall performance is still the same (as compared to just a single web miner), given the constant computing resources.
Crypto-Loot
Crypto-Loot is another great alternative web miner, modeled after Coin-Hive. Apart from convenient integration of web miner into websites, this team also constantly updates their server script to avoid ad-blockers. Recommended!
LuckyBits
LuckyBits doesn't allow you to integrate web mining into your sites, but provides you an interface to web-mine on your browser while you carry out your daily work on your computer. If you have access to multiple computers (or supercomputers!), you can run these web miners without installing new mining software which often gets blocked if the computers are owned by the administrators. LuckyBits is more of a hybrid cryptocurrency earning platform with games, tasks and mining.
FaucetHub
FaucetHub is similar to LuckyBits. Similar functions, just that its core business is faucets. So apart from Coin-Hive-based web mining, you have access to tons of faucets for various cryptocurrencies.
Other webmining sites!
In addition to the recommended top 5 sites, I would also suggest exploring other emerging sites for more innovative mining approaches: CoinPot (pays you in Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dogecoin instead of Monero!), BroMiner, MoneroMiner
Happy WEB MINING!!
