An experiment to build out a platform that allows publishers to replace ads with crypto miners(monero) running on user’s browsers / mobile phones. This project involved the following components
-
Cross compiled a monero mining app into web assembly. This involved a lot of low-level stuff and forking the original miner
-
Built a js SDK that allows publishers to integrate the webassembly powered monero miner on their website. It also consisted of a websocket that allowed it to interact with the mining pool,
-
Built an android SDK powered by rust that allowed android developers to integrate the monero miner in their android apps
-
A backend to support registration of publishers and keeping track of their revenue
-
A service that acts as a middle layer between monero miners running on millions of user browsers and mobile phones and a couple of monero mining pools.
-
A desktop app that allowed publishers to calculate their revenue based on the price of monero and their current daily active users.

We recently built an embeddable self-serve BI tool for Pashi - a YC startup that is building operating systems for manufacturing.
