This template allows you to easily embed the CoinHive Miner into your own site to earn money without ads by letting your site visitors optionally mine Monero (a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin, Ether, etc.) using their CPU power by leaving the page open.
- Signup for CoinHive
- Once logged in, go to your Sites & API Keys Settings and then copy the text next to
Site Key (public) - Fork this GitHub Repo
- Replace
UB0lonLFJXV0T5HYTiTcqgEJhcI9cxKWinindex.htmlwith the key you copied above - Embed into your site with the following code (replace
USERNAMEwith your GitHub username so for example, for me you would putbgiesing)
<div class="codegena_iframe"><iframe src="https://USERNAME.github.io/CoinHiveMiner/index.html" height="255" width="442" style="border:0px;float:middle;"></iframe></div><style>.codegena_iframe{position:relative;padding-bottom:32%;height:0;overflow: hidden;max-width:100%;}.codegena_iframe iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;}</style>Once you have it set up, you can optionally swap out the text, color scheme, and/or CoinHive logo with your own branding to make it fit better into your page.
The above 5 steps will get you up quickly but you don't have to do it exactly as mentioned above. I made this based around GitHub Pages to make it simple and work on sites that don't allow HTML page uploads with their own styling (common in CMSes like WordPress, Blogger, etc.) but there's other hosting options and ways to embed it if you prefer.
- Host it on your own server. If your host allows you to directly upload HTML files, you can just upload the
index.htmlfile to your site, rename it to something else (to not conflict with your website) and replace the full URL in the embed code above to the page. - You also don't have to even embed it, just link the GitHub Pages URL directly.
- GitLab is another Git service that has page hosting
I'm not associated with CoinHive and this code is based heavily on their original code on their homepage. All I did was modualize it into simple embed and optimized the code to remove CSS/JS/IMGs that are no longer used after converting it.
