So this takes 15% fee vs 30% for Coinhive. With almost non-existant barrier to entry, it seems like commission would be driven down to what traditional mining pool cuts (1% or less)

This doesn't have an API though so I don't really understand how you would use it for rewards. With Coinhive you can verify the number of solved hashes per user server-side.

Yeah, they don't have a private api, but you could use the client side API (miner) to get total hashes / listen for accepted hashes and save the data on your side and give rewards based on that.

I love their first FAQ. You don't often see a service that comes out and says "This probably isn't for you." > Q: Will This Work On My Site? > A: Technically yes, economically probably not. That same answer goes on to discuss how much revenue you could actually expect from using this crypto miner: "With just 10–20 active miners on your site, you can expect a monthly revenue of about 0.3 XMR (~$29)." It seems like in…

The FAQ is copypasted word-by-word from Coinhive though which I find kind of sloppy and non-serious.

"We add an intermediary 15s step" "Add a timer to lock items which your users can unlock by mining" "you can delay showing the results for 5-10s to mine crypto" "giving your users the awesome experience they deserve." Awesome experience indeed.

Well, maybe the emphasis is on deserve here? ;)

I did a 1 day trial... My stats TOTAL HASHES 2.33 Milion/Hashes TOTAL PAID 0.00000 xmr PENDING PAYMENTS 0.00000 xmr ????? ALL IS 0, I stopped using it

I think they had a bug, because for me it started showing today. 10.47 MH -> 0.00177 xmr pending and now it's increasing at each refresh
