Gath3r The Way Out
Great news for bloggers, content creators, website owners and publishers as Gath3r has created a way you can make money while focusing on what your love to do.
Gath3r Defined In Plain Terms.
Gath3r is a project created to help publishers, bloggers, content creators and websites monetize through in-browser mining.
Now What Is In-browser Mining And How Does It Help You
In-browser mining is the process bywhich website owners uses the device (computer, phone etc) of the user to mine for cryptocurrencies there by letting users use their website for free instead of monetizing the access to the web and resources on the website. I think website like FZmovies.com does this, because I noticed it last year when I was on their website trying to download some movies, even while they had all this many adds on the website anyways.
With Gath3r
With Gath3r website owners can use this In-browser mining as a revenue source and let users browse adds free, or can also do the in-browser and with just few important adds. This can be done by simply copying and pasting of the Gath3r code
Merged Mining
As new blockchain projects come online they require a network that can handle their application requirements and be safe from things such as the 51% attack. This can be difficult without a userbase that has nodes set up and is willing to mine the new asset.
So Gath3r came up wirh Merged mining, merged mining enables users to mine two assets with similar algorithms along side. This way, even new projects can use Gath3r’s hashpower access to secure their own projects.
Masternodes & Lite nodes
Like I said before earlier, i noticed FZmovies.com using my phone to min when I was trying to download mivies and my browsing became very slow, pages took time to open, and downloads took more time to enter, but Gath3r uses
Masternodes & Lite nodes to make sure no user experience such as I did.
Gath3r masternodes are resource intensive full nodes that handle heavy data processing. While litw nodes are used for smaller data processing. These separation helps the network run well so as the in-browser browsing will take less resource from the users and the site performance at a normal as if the in-browsing mining was not being done.
The Problem Of The Current State Of Monetization
Monetization takes the following ways:
• Advertisements
• Subscription
• Advertisements: this is the most annoying form of monetization as it come in form of pop-up ads in the middle of what you're doing and sometimes you mistakingly click them even if you didn't intend to, and getting back to your former page you end up starting over again, while some just cover the whole page of your work, and most times there are no ways to get ride of them, so you just ignore them, or cancel the once coverinv the whole page, this way of monitization normally yied less results and may even lead to loss of users.
• Subscription
Subscription: this is the process where users are asked to pay little fees to be able to access the website for a particular time frame or and sometimes no time frame anyways. Over the years I have subscribed to many site to get access, even now i just subscribed to sowitacedemy.com owned by mimi-G, medium etc, i personally have no issues with this because I get value for my money paid to access and don't get distracted by ads and I can unsubscribe at anytime.
while this is okay for me, its also a great very frustrating thing for users who can't afford it, or don't have the means of payment
Getting Better
Gath3r’s in-browser mining work's to the benefit of both publisher and consumer, as Gath3r loyalty program help users to earn through a loyalty program as set by the publisher. i.e the websites can set their in-browser mining in a way in which the users will receive 3-7% of what they mine while browsing.
