I really like this. Not 100% sure how much a user can actually earn in say a 30 minute period but definitely going to try and add this as a form of monetisation in one of my sites and see how users respond.
Can this run in the background without affecting the user? Eg: the UI lagging, laptop fans turning to max, etc.
1. How is this attempt different from HashCash, aside from using Monero?
2. What are you going to do if and when people develop counter strategies to bypass having to do the work?
In theory it could be a revolution I guess, in practice I'm not sure it would mine enough coin and so generate enough income to be worth it. But having an equivalent using GPU in application like games may be profitable.
If this is not clearly opt-in I wish those responsible for using it on their site a slow and painful death. Performance and bloat in browsers are a huge problem and having this constantly running in the background (without consent) is an absolute nightmare.
This idea has been tried before ( https://hashcash.io/ ). Question for the developers: 1. How is this attempt different from HashCash, aside from using Monero? 2. What are you going to do if and when people develop counter strategies to bypass having to do the work?

I wish you could ask for money directly instead of inflicting the payment on me through my power bill...

I agree that there should be some sort of notification but other than that, I actually find this idea quite sympathetic. If you read my site, you can pay me by mining for me. It requires no extra effort on your part -- no credit card or micropayment login etc., and the longer you spend on my site, the more you pay. The exchange of value seems more clear cut that ads.
I will report back in a few days
