My sincere thanks to the 11 readers who are daily donating their computer’s background processing power to mine Bitcoins for the Ten Cent Challenge. This a Java applet that is NOT installed on your PC or Mac. It simply runs within a web browser session. Please keep this Bitcoin mining web page bookmarked and running while you are web browsing. No registration or set-up is needed. All you have to do is click on “Start Generating” each day. It’s that simple. This project is currently earning us about .015 BTC per day. (But if more SurvivalBloggers used it, obviously we might earn more than 1 BTC per day.) Please remember to refresh the mining “session” each time you start your browser and keep that window active so that we can maintain a good rate of return for the Ten Cent Challenge. If you make the Bitcoin mining page your browser’s Home Page, then you won’t forget. Many, many thanks!
