> I don't know how JVM bytecode works, or if it's even possible to assign discontiguous ordinal values That was my first thought as well, but I double checked and the ordinal() met…

The .equals() still shouldn't be much of a problem. If you've got a bunch of constants like you gave, they will probably all have different hashcodes so you don't have to compare a…

I disagree with recruitment not adding value. Imagine a recruiter that sent you 5 qualified candidates who were all interested in your job. You would spend a little bit of time in …

It's a technicality. You always get a copy of what you pass in. When you pass a primitive, eg an int that has the value 7, you get a copy of that value 7. When you pass an object, …

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 ca…

No need to apologize for how you feel - some people love the idea (of supporting a website with their computer power), some people hate it. As for the resource overhead of the JVM,…

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…

This one isn't javascript, it's based on my browser bitcoin miner[1] which is written in Java. It's about 2000 times faster than the javascript bitcoin miner that I know of. It's a…

I've made an option to add controls, which shows the current hashrate and a start/stop button. Right now it's up to the websites using it to enable that if they want to. I like the…

Can I ask why? The way I see it, websites with advertisements use your mind (by grabbing your attention). This only uses your computer. Which would you rather have a website try to…

Humor? The NSA tried to introduce an encryption chip[1] and get telecommunications providers to use it. It had a backdoor so that they could decrypt anything that used it. I vaguel…

I'm sure any embeddable bitcoin miner will be added to adblock pretty quickly, so you won't have to worry. Would it change your mind if you were given a portion of the bitcoins gen…

I get where you're coming from. Here's an interesting thought: consider this as an alternative to advertising. Which would you rather: a website use your mind by taking your attent…

Someone on the bitcoin forums[1] has a killawatt meter and measured the difference between idle and 100% CPU. We did the math and for his computer, if the cost of electricity is un…

I'm curious, is your computer usable while you're using your GPU for mining? Or do you have a 2nd graphics card dedicated to mining? I tried out GPU mining but my computer was unus…

True. I've been thinking this over for a while. Right now, the general consensus is that the price of bitcoin will end up being related to the cost of electricity for computing, an…

Yes, it is slower than GPU mining. I meant this to be more of an introductory easy to use miner to get people interested without having to download anything or configure anything. …

That came up on the bitcoin forums ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8780.0 ). I've got plans for doing something like that - let you embed the miner in your website so yo…

That's correct, you can log in to as many computers as you want, all with the same account and it will work. You could even run multiple on the same computer and it would work perf…

Yep, GPUs are much faster than CPUs for mining. A top of the line GPU does 600 MHash/sec, on my graphics card it was doing I think 3 or 4 MHash/sec but the computer was unusably sl…

I've just finished a browser-based bitcoin miner, written in Java (as an applet). I'd love to get some feedback on it. Once the page loads, hit "Start generating" and it should sta…

I find it a bit funny he says you won't be able to borrow against it, but went on to refute that saying several of his friends made offers to lend him the money. Having a solid net…
