A distributed miner is a Bitcoin miner made from the pooled efforts of multiple computers, possibly without the computer user's knowledge.

==Overview==

Usually, the theory behind distributed miners consists of dividing work into workunits and sending them to various computers, who all report back with their work to be submitted en masse by a central processor. Alternatively, though, the computers can coordinate themselves to submit without any central puppetmaster.

==Distributed Miners in the Wild==

[[Stealthcoin]] employs a method not unlike this, where unused computers act as bitcoin miners. It currently does not, however, coordinate between bots.

[[Bitp.it]] uses distributed mining through a small bit of javascript running on browsers viewing a website

[[Bitcoin Plus]] allows the distributing of works amongst friends using their client, or through an embeddable website script
