Hi. I use coin-hive's miner on my site publicly...
I run a micro pay crypto site, so it is a good fit. You'll have to decide for yourself.
But I calculated a while back, that it would take 1,000,000 hashes to earn about 400 some satoshis worth of XMR.
Not good. My visitors typically pull a bit less than 10 hashes/second.
This means it will take them 24 hours of maxed out computer time to earn 400 satoshis.
So if you can get a ton of users, (I don't have all that many comparatively.) you might be able to earn something. But I think ads will be 10X more profitable.
Anyhow. Setup is really easy, and you should definitely look into it.
If you've got any questions at all, I'll try to answer them. :)

These next 4 months is my busy season so I hit 1.5-1.7 million visits a month....that will probably add up nicely. Site includes a community forum where people spent on average 7 minutes and 23 seconds.
Good grief. That'll probably add up to quite a little chunk of change. :D
yeesh, that IS a lot.
So in about 24 hours the website has solved about 1.7 million hashes.
Its frustrating to notice that for 1 million hashes solved, the pay out is very very small.
.00015
.5 XMR is the minimum withdrawal rate, I am currently at .00026
Great info, thanks for chiming in.
It's nice to hear an opinion from someone with more experience than myself-
I actually installed it earlier today on one of my sites, and it's averaging about 3 hashes/second. (100-200 visits a day usually)
Yeah... ads haven't really panned out well for me either so I figured id try something new.
No, definitely! This stuff is all brand new, and I'm willing to bet good money there will be a currency made that is optimized for being mined in browsers. This is a really cool idea, and it won't be going anywhere.
It's this sort of "thinking outside the box" that will make new guys into major successes.
