Earn SBD Right In Your Browser

Hunter's comment
Good evening fellow hunters,
today I'm proud to present you my newest sideproject: MinnowSmith! It is an very simple to use website which enables everybody to mine and earn some SBD while beeing at work or at home. It is maybe also a way for minnows to get into the mining world and get started with the steemit blockchain!
The UI is (hopefully) straightforward to use, you just need to specify your steemit username and select threads (between one and four) and select a CPU speed that is used (between 20% and 100%). In my opinion the most efficient settings are the already as a default provided ones, so 3 threads with 100% speed.
You need to disable your AdBlocker in order for the site to work.
Features
- Mine SBD right in your browser
- Payout is automatically daily (you need to hit a treshold of 0.01 SBD)
- Get in contact with mining
- Easy to use and understand UI
I also already have planned a lot of new features which will give the user more flexibility to increase the payout amount. To give you some preview..
Roadmap
- Create custom payouts (per limit, time, ..)
- Ways to increase user payouts (e.g. when you follow me you get 5% more, or when you upload my latest post you get 5% more outcome for your submitted hashes)
- Include daily List of Top miners
- Submit a post daily with top miners
- Give extra upvotes for top miners daily
- Create Tiers, so active users generally get a higher payout value
- Create a referrer-system to get additional payout
- Get conversion rate for hashes -> SBD dynamically based on network difficulty
Let me hear your feedback; I'm open for ideas. :)
EDIT:
- When you follow me you already can lower your needed hashes from 250k to 237,5k needed per 0.001 $
- Automatic payout treshold is now set to 0.001$, so everyone should be able to get a payout daily :)

Pros:
Developer taking the initiative to be creative and implement something valuable.
Everyone on steem appreciates an easy way to make SBD
Cons:
I went to the main website but it does not have any info about hashes or description about how it works, if you don't sign in. Most users would like to have better understanding of what he is signing up for, and what is going on with his browser upon running this, before he signs up.
@meditateonthat Thanks four your great feedback. I'll think about adding a small info box how it works and what happens. :)
Pros:
Idea / Innovation
Your idea is very good @spotted. The goal is also very good because it wants to help the minnow.
Desing / UI / Spec
there is something I want to ask
from the picture above, does it already work ?.
Features / Advantages
Get SBD only from Browsing Mining.
Benefits
Incremental revenue for Minnows (although there are quite a few).
Adoptions
I think many Steemit users are still confused so it needs more explanation.
Cons:
Still in development. I will wait for further explanation regarding this Browser Mining.
Hey @calprut, it does not look like it is working. The UI would change and display the mining statistics. May I ask which browser do you use? And can you try it with chrome? Otherwise it could be that you have an AdBlocker active? You would need to disable it.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback and please give me some response if you got it to work on your machine.
PS: Sorry that it's not working out of the box for you as for many others.. :)
Oh, no problem
i am using Mozilla Firefox, i am using adblocker too, ok i am trying now :)
Great, did you managed to get it working?
I’m all for Steem related projects.
Pros:
Cons:
@elementm Thanks for your reply! :)
Do you like the roadmap so far?
I need to adjust the payout rate, I know. But it's also on my roadmap for the next days. :)
I think your roadmap looks promising :)
Awesome. Already changed two things, I edited my post.:)
This is a great hunt that you made there @spotted. Below are my personal opinion toward this hunt.
Pros:
Cons:
There is a 2 Hunt Limit Per day, come have a chat on Steemhunt’s Discord
Very interesting
You have not tried it so far or? You should! :)
No not yet. It’s easy to set up? Roughly, what can this expect to mine in the course of a day? Or week?
Easy to setup? Damn yes, just go to the website, enter you steem username and hit start.
Hm, let me give you an example for the payout tomorrow. :)
is it harmful for my computer ?
Please jump on Discord have a couple of Questions.
Sure
Pros:
Cons:
Kindly enlighten me, thanks :))
@fernwehninja Thanks for your feedback, I'll work on the UI to state this more clearly!
This is awesome, especially since I'm always working. As long not malware gets injected I'm game. Awesome project.
Hey @randomgoodstuff,
I can say that there is not malware involved. I want to support the community and reach more people to get steemit more popular. :)
That's awesome ... so I tried it out a bit. So to receive 0.001 SBD I need to go through 100k hashes? How long does it take in general. I know it depends a lot on the computer.
Actually you need 250k hashes to get 0.001$ right now. I'll work on features to lower this a little bit. The math for this is easy, let's take a hashrate of 50h/s, that's 506060*24=4.320.000 hashes per day, 4.320.000/250.000=17,28. So you would get like 0.017$ per day. That's not that much, but would sum up and get some minnows started. :)
I might run it over night.. and yes ... it's better than nothing. Thank you for this awesome project.
Interesting! Also love that you curate as well.
Thanks for your reply @for91days, have you tried it yet? :)
I'll have to take a deeper look at this...
Congratz on creating this sideproject though. Why didn't nominate yourself as the maker?
Hey @awesomianist,
thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it during the early stage of the project (also after..). Yes, it's not possible to mine SBD directly, so I need to mine another coin first and exchange it as you guessed.
GPU mining is not supported, also that it would be possible with webGL, but it would not bring that much benefit. :)
What would have been the benefit for marking myself as the maker? :)
Best
Ahh.. now that makes sense.
Owh really? I thought GPU mining on certain algorithms are faster than cpu mining. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's browser based.
Well, for one thing, you can plant a virtual flag on the blockchain saying you've created this product. I mean its just a personal recommendation but i'd use Steemhunt's maker appointment tool whenever i can if i were a product developer.
I doubt ill be rich anytime soon, but seems to be working so far thanks for sharing.
@gniksivart Thanks for trying it out. :) Because it is session based everyday you need to refresh the page sometimes and accept it again. :)
What do you think about the roadmap?
The roadmap looks good. Looking forward to see features such as the follow, tiers, and referrer sytem.
@gniksivart I already added the bonus 5% when you follow me and lowered the payout treshold to 0.001$. :)
Is there a reason i havent received a payout yet?
Interesting, I may give it a try! I’d assume this is mining another currency like XMR and auto converting to SBD?
You are right. :) I'll work on the payout ratio next.
250k hashes for 0.001 SBD -> with 50 h/s that 0.017 SBD per day.
237.5k hashes for 0.001 SBD -> with 50 h/s that 0.018 SBD per day.
Oh well, I'll leave it on for the weekend see what happens
Amazing! Stay tuned for the upcoming changes. :)
Pros:
Cons:
I'm curious so that I can do a payout/time calculation for myself, how much of a "Balance" equates to a $0.01 payout?
Should be considered in SBD
So the bottom of the page shows a payout ratio of 250,000 hashes per $0.001 payout. I average about 50 hashes/s with my CPU so that equates to $0.058 per 24 hours. I'm not sure if this is viable at this stage
You're calculation is actually correct. I'll work on the payout rate, with some bonuses it should be possible to put it to 200k/0.001$. But 50 hashes isn't that much. But minnows can start with something and get into the ecosystem of sending crypto money. :)
Very good idea! But if it's possible you should add GPU mining option. You can mine with cpu xmr but its little slow.
Pros:
Cons :
Yeah, but mining in the browser will not bring that much benefit. Anyway, thanks for your review. Have you tried it out? :)
Yes, now is running!!
Great! Expect your first payout today! :)
Very unique and interesting approach to earn your first SBDs. How is your mining working? Is it a Monero-Miner? I have seen something similar with IOTA as well.
I guess that the mining costs (power usage) will not be completely covered by the SBD earnings but still a good way to get started for minnows.
Your roadmap also looks pretty promising good job @spotted
Exactly, the payout for now will not make you rich, that's right. But I will work on methods to provide more payout to the user. :)
Wow this is really cool :) nice interface too!
I guess you're mining Monero and convert it to SBD on exchange?
Hope your project succeed! :D
Thank you very much @tabris, I really appreciate your review.
You are right with the monero mining!
I also hope that the project will grow with all my features that I have planned already. :)
pros:
cons:
Wow! I have to check this out
You definitely have to check it out! :)

This looks really good
@spotted Ok so I love the idea but I’m just not sure it’s for me. I ran it yesterday. I got my first payout of 0.005 SBD but it ran for 24 hours. I will run it for another day or two & See how it pans out.
Actually I was sending you twice your payout by mistake! :D But I can understand your point, was settings are you running? thread and speed? and what is your hashrate?
I am running this on 2 computers currently. Maybe that's why? If not do you want me to send it back? Hashrate seems to go between 24-35.
No, as long as you have entered the same name (it looks like you did) this was not the issue. It was my fault. :D
As you wish, take it or send it back. But that's for sure, I appreciate your support. :)
Wow....excellent...I just started now. Let's see how it works....Good luck to your new ideas.
Thank you very much @shuvomahfuz,
stay tuned for upcoming features! :)
@spotted how much hashes I have to produce 1 SBD????? Please let me know... Thank you.
Pros:
Cons:
This is really cool! I am totally new to this. I hope it works well.
It does, a lot of users already use it. follow @minnowsmith to see some payouts. :)
