With the rise of cryptocurrency, many people are interested in mining but find it too technical or resource-intensive to start. A browser extension could simplify the process, letting users mine crypto passively while browsing, either using their computer's resources or connecting to cloud-based mining services.

How It Would Work

The extension could offer two approaches:

• Local mining: Uses a small portion of the user's computer power when they're browsing, with clear controls to limit usage.
• Cloud mining: Acts as a portal to remote mining services, where users earn a share of profits without straining their own devices.

Key features might include real-time earnings tracking, adjustable mining intensity, and integration with crypto wallets for easy payouts. Since browser mining alone might not be very profitable, the system could supplement earnings with token rewards or partner with websites to offer mining as an alternative to ads.

Key Considerations

Unlike past projects that were sometimes used without permission, this approach would require clear user consent and transparency about resource use. One way to ensure ethical operation would be to show real-time metrics about how much processing power is being used and what the estimated earnings are.

To make this sustainable, the project could explore monetization through small service fees, premium features, or partnerships with crypto platforms that benefit from a more decentralized mining network.
