Interestingly, I'm getting a significantly higher hash rate in Chrome than in Firefox (12,000 vs. 600). This is despite the fact that Firefox has a higher priority on my OS (High vs. Normal) and they're both using the same amount of CPU. What hash rates are you seeing on your machine/browser?

#54I also love how the P2P is visualized in a straight-forward way. I definitely think this will help demystify blockchain technology. You immediately realize that you're part of a decentralized network and that blockchain nodes are nothing else than other nodes like you.

#56Before anyone gets too excited because the page doenst make this clear, you are all mining on the Test block chain, not the release block chain, the coins are worthless, they are fine for playing around with though.
There is a disclaimer under the "Connect to Network" button stating "Testnet Mining does not create permanent Nimiqs." Do you think this we should make that more prominent?

#57Just ask here if you need some test coins. I already mined a first block.

I think the disclaimer was pretty obvious with this.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Top right of the page is a github link
The miner repo was empty and now has been removed, the core repo doesn't contain this app.
Is this not it, I havent tried it.
