I am a young programmer, still in college, interesting in creating a universal plug-in in python that I can apply to a few applications I have created. I would like to develop a python3 module that adopts user cpu threads, and uses the threads to mine cryptocurrency, monero specifically, whenever a user is active on my site, is this impossible to do without manually configuring a miner from user device?

Follow Up-- If I do not need to manually config, and include this in a terms & agreement can I run this module as long as a user access token remains valid?

Sidenote: I am not interested in using Coinhive

  • Do you intend to mine from a users browser or from a python application running on their computer?

  • A python file, browser mining is slow money haha, as proven by coinhive. Sorry for the late response!

Based on your comment, mining from a python script, your best bet is to build a python c extension.

You can include the relevant crypto hashing functions and take it from there. An example, albite a JS WASM module, is here. Essentially rework the main.cpp as your python extension api.
