Hunter's comment

Good evening fellow hunters,

today I'm proud to present you my newest sideproject: MinnowSmith! It is an very simple to use website which enables everybody to mine and earn some SBD while beeing at work or at home. It is maybe also a way for minnows to get into the mining world and get started with the steemit blockchain!

The UI is (hopefully) straightforward to use, you just need to specify your steemit username and select threads (between one and four) and select a CPU speed that is used (between 20% and 100%). In my opinion the most efficient settings are the already as a default provided ones, so 3 threads with 100% speed.
You need to disable your AdBlocker in order for the site to work.

Features

Mine SBD right in your browser
Payout is automatically daily (you need to hit a treshold of 0.01 SBD)
Get in contact with mining
Easy to use and understand UI

I also already have planned a lot of new features which will give the user more flexibility to increase the payout amount. To give you some preview..

Roadmap

Create custom payouts (per limit, time, ..)
Ways to increase user payouts (e.g. when you follow me you get 5% more, or when you upload my latest post you get 5% more outcome for your submitted hashes)
Include daily List of Top miners
Submit a post daily with top miners
Give extra upvotes for top miners daily
Create Tiers, so active users generally get a higher payout value
Create a referrer-system to get additional payout
Get conversion rate for hashes -> SBD dynamically based on network difficulty

Let me hear your feedback; I'm open for ideas. :)

EDIT:

When you follow me you already can lower your needed hashes from 250k to 237,5k needed per 0.001 $
Automatic payout treshold is now set to 0.001$, so everyone should be able to get a payout daily :)

Pros:
Developer taking the initiative to be creative and implement something valuable.
Everyone on steem appreciates an easy way to make SBD

Cons:
I went to the main website but it does not have any info about hashes or description about how it works, if you don't sign in. Most users would like to have better understanding of what he is signing up for, and what is going on with his browser upon running this, before he signs up.

Pros:

Idea / Innovation
Your idea is very good @spotted. The goal is also very good because it wants to help the minnow.
Desing / UI / Spec
there is something I want to ask

from the picture above, does it already work ?.
Features / Advantages
Get SBD only from Browsing Mining.
Benefits
Incremental revenue for Minnows (although there are quite a few).
Adoptions
I think many Steemit users are still confused so it needs more explanation.

Cons:
Still in development. I will wait for further explanation regarding this Browser Mining.

Hey @calprut, it does not look like it is working. The UI would change and display the mining statistics. May I ask which browser do you use? And can you try it with chrome? Otherwise it could be that you have an AdBlocker active? You would need to disable it.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback and please give me some response if you got it to work on your machine.

PS: Sorry that it's not working out of the box for you as for many others.. :)

I’m all for Steem related projects.

Pros:

Gives minnows and redfish another way to earn SBD
Looks like it’s simple to get started with
Further improvements seem likely based on the roadmap

Cons:

Looks like initial payouts won’t be very large (but I could be wrong and even if I'm not, every little bit helps when you're new)

This is a great hunt that you made there @spotted. Below are my personal opinion toward this hunt.

Pros:

Earning in your browser while you are idle is a good idea
The design of the platform is minimalistic
You can choose on how many threads that are using and also the speed

Cons:

It can slow your processor speed
The more hash you will use can disrupt your computer's performance

randomgoodstuff (54) · 7 years ago

That's awesome ... so I tried it out a bit. So to receive 0.001 SBD I need to go through 100k hashes? How long does it take in general. I know it depends a lot on the computer.

$0.00

[-]

spotted (50) · 7 years ago

Actually you need 250k hashes to get 0.001$ right now. I'll work on features to lower this a little bit. The math for this is easy, let's take a hashrate of 50h/s, that's 506060*24=4.320.000 hashes per day, 4.320.000/250.000=17,28. So you would get like 0.017$ per day. That's not that much, but would sum up and get some minnows started. :)

awesomianist (64) · 7 years ago

I'll have to take a deeper look at this...

How is SBD minable? I expect we'll be mining other coins and have it converted to SBD?
does your app allows GPU mining off the browser too?

Congratz on creating this sideproject though. Why didn't nominate yourself as the maker?

spotted (50) · 7 years ago

Hey @awesomianist,

thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it during the early stage of the project (also after..). Yes, it's not possible to mine SBD directly, so I need to mine another coin first and exchange it as you guessed.

GPU mining is not supported, also that it would be possible with webGL, but it would not bring that much benefit. :)

What would have been the benefit for marking myself as the maker? :)

Best

awesomianist (64) · 7 years ago

Ahh.. now that makes sense.

Owh really? I thought GPU mining on certain algorithms are faster than cpu mining. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's browser based.

Well, for one thing, you can plant a virtual flag on the blockchain saying you've created this product. I mean its just a personal recommendation but i'd use Steemhunt's maker appointment tool whenever i can if i were a product developer.

250k hashes for 0.001 SBD -> with 50 h/s that 0.017 SBD per day.
237.5k hashes for 0.001 SBD -> with 50 h/s that 0.018 SBD per day.

I'm curious so that I can do a payout/time calculation for myself, how much of a "Balance" equates to a $0.01 payout?

chronocrypto (73) · 7 years ago

Should be considered in SBD

mrcoolizade (35) · 7 years ago

So the bottom of the page shows a payout ratio of 250,000 hashes per $0.001 payout. I average about 50 hashes/s with my CPU so that equates to $0.058 per 24 hours. I'm not sure if this is viable at this stage

$0.00

[-]

spotted (50) · 7 years ago

You're calculation is actually correct. I'll work on the payout rate, with some bonuses it should be possible to put it to 200k/0.001$. But 50 hashes isn't that much. But minnows can start with something and get into the ecosystem of sending crypto money. :)

masterthematrix (60) · 7 years ago

Very unique and interesting approach to earn your first SBDs. How is your mining working? Is it a Monero-Miner? I have seen something similar with IOTA as well.
I guess that the mining costs (power usage) will not be completely covered by the SBD earnings but still a good way to get started for minnows.
Your roadmap also looks pretty promising good job @spotted

spotted (50) · 7 years ago

Exactly, the payout for now will not make you rich, that's right. But I will work on methods to provide more payout to the user. :)

cryptomaniacsgr (64) · 7 years ago (edited)

Very good idea! But if it's possible you should add GPU mining option. You can mine with cpu xmr but its little slow.
Pros:

very simple to use
promising roadmap
can really help minnows

Cons :

If you can tell that, lacks gpu mining option.
