I'm currently working on a JavaScript based miner for LiteCoin if anyones interested in it?
Let me know if you are.
(This means mining can be as simple as opening a webpage! Maybe pointing to the IP address of your litecoind server first, or would people prefer a pool?)

This can be a good way to monetize a web site : the visitor is running your javascript miner as long as he keeps the page open.
A few suggestions :
- allow to parametrize how long and how heavily the miner will run to avoid annoying visitors (call it periodically for a fixed amount of cycles using timer callbacks).
- allow to keep track of who mined how many shares (session identifier passed together with the results) to provide incentive, or allow browsers to mine on pools.
Yes, I completely missed this.
If someone can get this technology going, I will help promote the fuck out of it, if it works.
Use this as the model http://bitcoinplus.com, except dont disappear after you create the site
All it would do is turn people away from litecoin or consider the website a trojan installer.
You really think it is OK to steal CPU cycles from people visiting the web site and there will be no back-lash?
... and who is going to keep the coins? I take it your not going to give the coins to the person who mined them?
