It is actually pretty simple. Using Coinhive, Github, Heroku and UptimeRobot you can setup a cloud-based NodeJs Miner.
Fork or Clone this Repository - https://github.com/bl1nkr/monero-miner
Run "npm start"
Create a (free) account on https://coin-hive.com/ and get your API Key under Settings / Sites & API Keys (ex. OwZyZ3HVKjMeMTrodeXC2iZ7ZGY8eOdT)
Replace the API key in index.js (line 7) with your API Key
Create a (free) account on http://www.heroku.com
On Heroku create a new application
- Add the following buildpacks
- Connect your Heroku app to your GitHub repo and enable the automatic deployment feature
- Verify that the solution builds
- The solution is basically a web server that does nothing (https://my-monero-miner.herokuapp.com/) but behind the scenes is using the heroku server to mine monero
- Login to your coin-hive account and verify you are receiving reward
Note: After 30 minutes the heroku instance will go to sleep so be sure to sign up for another free service (https://uptimerobot.com/) which can ping your url every 5 minutes to make sure it stays up.
What is your mining rig built?

@bl1nkr looks like a pretty solid guide to me! keep up the good work.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the latest episode of Crypto Nights, in which we discuss Monero. This week's episode will be featured on @antonburton profile but I will resteem.
Upvoted.

Playing around with same thing. Although I killed web and left one worker on two different apps (since multiple workers on same app were just splitting same hashrate). I've noticed this isn't consuming Free dynos. Can you confirm that?

it does use free dynos =/ you could also get a free virtual private server on AWS for a year and let it run 24/7 at no cost. You could do both heroku and AWS to double up!

Happy mining and then account suspension... I got it.

Your worker is actually pretty ineffective, there are better solutions that give you hashrate about 110 h/s, but don't try to do that. Mining cryptocurrencies is prohibited on Heroku https://www.heroku.com/policy/aup and they will suspend your account.

I want to apologize to you both. I don't know what I was thinking and never bothered to look at the terms and conditions. I was lucky not to have my account suspended. Heroku is a great service.

Don't do that. Mining of cryptocurrencies is prohibited on Heroku https://www.heroku.com/policy/aup and will result in account suspension.

I wanted to apologize for posting this how to. I failed to look up the Heroku terms and conditions before doing this. Sorry for any issues I might have caused. I love Heroku and think they are a great resource.
