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. Additionally, this approach was done by Bitp.it as javascript which is designed to be embeddable in webpages to create a distributed server farm.
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].
Bitp.it Implementation
A user's computer is used by the website they are viewing, which has added Javascript to the <head> section of the site, as a distributed miner. Slush's pool is used as the pool which the distributed computer connects to.
