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.

any further info on this?

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 Cheesy

How is this any different to creating a botnet?

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?
