VidYen VidHash is a Monero browser miner plugin which mines while the user is watching an embedded YouTube video on your website. Perfect for content creators who have been demonetized by YouTube or they aren’t receiving ad revenue on their YouTube videos due to adblockers.
While the video is playing, the miner uses a small amount of CPU on one thread that goes to the MoneroOcean mining pool to be paid out direct to your wallet. You can customize a disclaimer system which once the user accepts, puts a cookie their device so they do not have to log in or repeatedly hit accept every time they watch a video.
Features

- Mining only happens while video is playing
- Uses the existing YouTube interface while embedded on your WordPress page
- Brave Browser Friendly
- Uses the MoneroOcean pool which allows a combination of GPU and browser mining to same wallet (a feature not supported by Coinhive)
- Uses only uses a default of 1 CPU thread to prevent performance issues while watching YouTube videos
- Does not require user to login, but only accept your disclaimer which adds a cookie that agreed to your resource use
