Just ask here if you need some test coins. I already mined a first block.
Incredible. A cryptocurrency exchange is born in a HN comment thread.
I'm selling two pizzas for 10,000 test coins.

#103Interestingly, 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?
Oh dear, 216 hash/sec on OSX Safari on a year old Macbook Pro.

Safari Technology Preview (r31) on MBP gets me 8kH/s
(Chrome on the same machine gets 12kH/s)

I was getting ~4KH/sec then I've done some tuning and got to 20KH/sec with Chrome.
I plugged in the power cord, changed from Balanced performance to High performance option.
Also enabled GPU for use with Chrome instead of integrated graphics.

#108I thought general opinion from security experts was browser based crypto is DOA...
There's nothing inherently wrong with browser-based crypto. Most issues arise when you try to e.g. replace like TLS with JavaScript to encrypt passwords before sending them to a server. SHA256 doesn't become broken simply because it's run in a browser.
