Proof of Concept: Mine to Pay
Hi all!
This is Felty, the founder and lead developer of VidYen, showing off a proof of concept video of how you can use browser mining on a WordPress site to let your users earn credit to purchase items on your WooCommerce store.
Now users have a real reason to actually mine for you instead of trying to trick them into staying on the page long enough to mine hashes. (Yeah, you know who you are!)
I used the following software to make this happen:
WordPress - https://wordpress.org/
WooCommerce - https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/
WooCommerce Wallet - https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-wallet/
VidYen Point System - https://wordpress.org/plugins/vidyen-point-system-vyps/
You will also need a Coinhive account for site and private keys for the miner:

BTW VYPS can also be used for regular video ads and surveys if you get approved for an Adscend Media account.

Feel free to test out the demo site at:
Full source code for VYPS available at:

Feel free to reach out if you any questions or need help setting VYPS up on your own WordPress site! (I also can do WordPress plugin development work as well!)
