Hey everyone, the past couple of weeks has seen a lot of changes to the way some of our favorite cryptocurrency sites are monetizing.

Sites like Faucethub, freebitcoin and moonbitcoin have all introduced browser mining. Coinhive uses XMR to In this video I show you how to take back the reigns and mine XMR directly to your monero wallet.

A look at CH's intuitive dashboard. I made the above o.oooo5 XMR [just a few cents] in little under 2 hours. A quite impressive rate for any one click install xmr miner, especially since I had the miner turned to low and was active doing cpu intensive processes during the test.


Why XMR? Mining XMR not only has some of the best per hash rewards

With XMR there isn't any need to go out and a mining rig that likely is being sold because it doesn't have enough power to keep up with bitcoin's ever increasing mining difficulty.

In Fact:

Literally any healthy computer made in the past 5 years can CPU mine XMR and get a substantial amount. Not only does it make you awesome amounts of XMR, a highly valued crypto, it also isn't very likely that the price will dip any time soon.

My theory as to why? because:
XMR is the flagship darkcoin. [darkcoin → anonymous cryptocurrency claiming total end to end privacy in their transactions] Meaning it has likely found its way into the criminal underground and dark net and other black market economies. Bitcoin was given a fighting chance due to the Silk Road and XMR has the potential to do even more in an age of growing privacy concerns.

Anyways, Thanks for reading the long ass post everyone. If you want to trade in some of your newly earned XMR for Steem, bitcoin or dozens of other cryptos I highly reccomend Changelly for its incredibly easy manner of shifting cryptos.

Thanks~ M.

Do you know if its possible to mine SUMO using a chrome extension? It will be interesting to see how many websites start using coin hive instead of traditional adverts.

While sumo is a forked version of XMR, I do not beleive its possible to mine it with your browser. However, plenty of sites have been using the XMR miner and instead of rewarding users with Monero they give out BTC and other coins. Faucethub is a good example of this:

(tho faucethub doesnt reward in XMR nor sumo unfortunately)
