Browser based mining is the practice of utilizing web browsers as bitcoin miners through means of plugins or scripts.

Introduction

This concept was first reached by Bitcoin Plus, a cpu miner that is launched from the browser, requires no installation, and runs as a Java application.

Bitcoin Plus Implementation

The miner connects to a pool and the payout method is pay-per-share. The pool's fee is 3%.

Requires Java 1.5 or higher. This miner app is not open source.

This software was announced on May 18, 2011[1].
