"we need to address all kinds of users, not just the tech savvy, like most of the other cryptos do" - they address tech savvies because the last have powerful pc-s for mining. If all the users start mining from there browsers it'll simply kill their GPU/CPU in a year. I'm not sure that the earnings will be more than a killed pc costs.
Hi ShuCong,
Because WebDollar is super easy to be used, we aim for mass adoption. When you surf the internet or work on something else, or over the night, you can use a % of your CPU to mine. This was Satoshi Nakamoto Vision, one CPU one vote. It can be translated, one person, one vote.

Also, mining from the browsers is less efficient than 'bare-metal' mining. It will destroy your CPU and the reward will be much lower than the reward of the tech savvies with the same hardware.
That goes without saying.
Devs, I'm just curious. How does your web mining work? Does your site install a plug-in or script to web-browser?
In Browser it is mining using ASM.JS and WebAssembly. You can check our technical white paper
http://webdollar.io/public/doc/WebDollar-White-Paper.pdfOk. Thanks for explanation. Mining during browsing other sites may be possible though not so profitable.
Won't antiviruses/firewalls block your js? There are such functions in many of security programs now.
