RE: Project Idea: Mining pools for Steem
What kind of browser miner do you mean? I don't think those generate any value if you're talking about inbrowser mining using your CPU. I was thinking more like mining CPU-only coins when I mentioned that in the post as those are more fair aside from the server farms people run on them.
Same thing with GPU's though, we'd focus on coins that don't have asics and are somewhat profitable to mine with a couple GPU's.
The thing is, with the new Monero's randomX update it makes a lot of sense to mine with CPU. Browser mining is less efficient, true, but you don't need any apps or install anything so it's also easier for a casual user. I think the value is there if the users could set by themselves how much threads they want to use, but it will probably not be "profitable" in any shape or form anyway.
