Browser Miner

The Rhino Miner Browser Miner lets you mine RMC directly in your web browser using WebAssembly technology. No downloads, no installations—just open and start mining!

What is Browser Mining?

Browser mining allows you to mine cryptocurrency using only a web browser:

• No Software Installation: Runs entirely in your browser
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile
• WebAssembly Powered: High-performance mining using WASM
• Easy to Use: Simple interface for beginners
• Multi-Threaded: Utilizes multiple CPU cores efficiently

How It Works

Your Browser (WASM Mining)
     ↓ WebSocket
Miner Proxy
     ↓ Stratum Protocol
Mining Pool
     ↓ RPC
Rhino Network

1. Your browser runs mining code via WebAssembly
2. Connects to a miner proxy via WebSocket
3. Proxy translates WebSocket to Stratum protocol
4. Pool coordinates mining and distributes rewards
5. You get paid in RMC!

Performance Settings

Threads

Number of CPU cores to use for mining:

• Range: 1 to your CPU's core count
• Recommended: Equal to CPU cores
• Examples:
  • Dual-core: 2 threads
  • Quad-core: 4 threads
  • Hexa-core: 6 threads
  • Octa-core: 8 threads

Optimization:

• Start with maximum threads
• Reduce if computer becomes too slow
• More threads = higher hashrate
• But also = more heat and power usage

Finding Your Core Count:

• Windows: Task Manager → Performance → CPU
• Mac: About This Mac → System Report → Hardware
• Linux: lscpu or nproc command

   • Verify activity log shows mining

While Mining

What to Watch:

• Hashrate: Should be stable after initial warmup
• Share ratio: Should stay >98%
• Connection: Should remain connected
• Temperature: Monitor CPU temps

Normal Behavior:

• Hashrate fluctuates slightly
• Occasional rejected share
• Brief connection drops (auto-reconnect)
• CPU temperature increases

Abnormal Behavior:

• Hashrate drops significantly
• Many rejected shares (>5%)
• Frequent disconnections
• Computer freezing/crashing

Stopping Mining

1. Click "⏹ Stop Mining"
2. Workers stop immediately
3. Connection remains active
4. Can restart anytime

Safe to Close:

• After stopping, safe to close browser
• Can close while mining (will lose session stats)
• All accepted shares are recorded by pool

Performance Optimization

Hardware Factors

CPU Performance

Your CPU is the most important factor:

• Architecture: Newer CPUs mine faster
• Core Count: More cores = more threads = higher hashrate
• Clock Speed: Higher GHz = better performance
• Cache Size: Larger cache helps YespowerR16

Best CPUs for Mining:

• AMD Ryzen (excellent multi-core)
• Intel Core i5/i7/i9
• Apple M1/M2 (good performance, efficient)
• Server CPUs (Xeon, EPYC) for serious mining

Cooling

Overheating reduces performance:

• Adequate Airflow: Ensure fans are working
• Clean Dust: Dust blocks airflow
• Thermal Paste: Reapply if CPU is old
• Room Temperature: Mining in hot room = throttling

Monitoring Temperature:

• Use HWMonitor (Windows)
• Use iStat Menus (Mac)
• Use sensors (Linux)
• Keep below 85°C

Power Supply

Mining uses significant power:

• Desktop: Usually no issue
• Laptop: May drain battery quickly
• Recommendation: Mine while plugged in
• Consider: Electricity costs vs RMC rewards

Software Optimization

Browser Choice

Browser performance varies:

Best Performers:

1. Chrome/Edge (Chromium-based) - Fastest WASM
2. Firefox - Good performance
3. Safari - Decent on Mac
4. Brave - Similar to Chrome

Tips:

• Keep browser updated
• Try different browsers
• Close unnecessary tabs
• Disable heavy extensions

Operating System

Some OSes perform better:

• Linux: Generally best performance
• Windows: Good performance, most common
• macOS: Efficient but may throttle
• Mobile: Slower but works

OS Optimization:

• Close background programs
• Disable unnecessary services
• Keep system updated
• Ensure no malware slowing system

Browser Settings

Optimize for Mining:

• Keep miner tab active (not background)
• Disable battery saver mode
• Allow high CPU usage in browser settings
• Don't minimize browser window

Extensions to Disable:

• Ad blockers (may interfere with WebSocket)
• Privacy extensions (may block connections)
• Tab suspenders (will stop mining)
• Heavy media extensions

Configuration Tuning

Finding Optimal Thread Count

Method:

1. Start with max threads (CPU core count)
2. Check hashrate after 1 minute
3. Reduce by 1 thread
4. Check if hashrate drops proportionally
5. Use setting with best H/s per thread

Example (4-core CPU):

• 4 threads = 2000 H/s = 500 H/s per thread
• 3 threads = 1600 H/s = 533 H/s per thread ← Better!
• 2 threads = 1000 H/s = 500 H/s per thread

Sometimes fewer threads perform better due to:

• Less memory contention
• Better cache utilization
• Less thermal throttling

Throttle vs Performance

Testing Different Throttles:

Test each for 5 minutes:

• 100% throttle = 2000 H/s, 85°C
• 90% throttle = 1850 H/s, 78°C
• 80% throttle = 1650 H/s, 72°C ← Sweet spot!
• 70% throttle = 1400 H/s, 68°C

Finding Your Sweet Spot:

• High hashrate with stable temperature
• Computer still usable if needed
• Sustainable long-term
• Good balance of performance and power

Performance Issues

Low Hashrate

Symptoms:

• Hashrate much lower than expected
• Slower than others with same CPU

Check These:

Configuration:

• Threads = CPU core count?
• Throttle = 100%?
• All workers active?

Browser:

• Set throttle to 100%
• Keep miner tab active and visible
• Close other programs
• Check CPU temperature
• Plug in laptop
• Restart browser

Hashrate Drops Over Time

Symptoms:

• Starts high, gradually decreases

Causes:

Thermal Throttling:

• CPU overheating
• System reducing clock speed to cool down
• Most common cause

Solutions:

• Improve cooling
• Clean dust from fans
• Reduce threads or throttle
• Take mining breaks
• Add external cooling

Memory Leak:

• Rare but possible
• Browser consuming too much RAM

Solution:

• Restart browser
• Update browser
• Try different browser

Workers Crashing

Symptoms:

• Log shows worker errors

Causes:

• Memory issues
• Browser instability
• Corrupted WASM module

Solutions:

• Reduce thread count
• Clear cache and reload
• Restart browser
• Update browser
• Try different browser

Share Issues

High Reject Rate

Symptoms:

• 5% of shares rejected

• Many red "Rejected" messages in log
• Lower earnings than expected

Causes & Solutions:

Wrong Wallet Address:

• Verify address is correct
• Check for typos
• Copy/paste from wallet
• Test with small pool first

Pool Issues:

• Pool having problems
• Try different pool
• Check pool status
• Contact pool operator

Network Latency:

• High ping to pool

• No shares submitted
• Hashrate showing normally

Causes:

Difficulty Too High:

• Pool set difficulty too high for your hashrate
• May take 5-10 minutes for first share
• Should auto-adjust with VARDIFF

WASM Not Working:

• Hash function not computing correctly
• Rare but possible
• Solution: Reload page, clear cache

Connection Dropped:

• Silently disconnected from pool
• Solution: Stop and restart mining

Browser Issues

Browser Slowing Down

Normal:

• Browser uses significant resources
• Some slowdown is expected

Excessive:

• Browser completely frozen
• Can't click anything

• Close other tabs
• Update browser
• Disable extensions
• Try different browser
• Add more RAM if persistent

Mobile Device Overheating

Symptoms:

• Phone/tablet gets very hot
• Performance throttles
• Battery drains quickly

Solutions:

• Use lower threads (1-2)
• Set throttle to 25-50%
• Take frequent breaks
• Mine while plugged in and near fan
• Consider: Mobile mining not very profitable
