okay, okay sure you cannot mine Steem traditionally any more but there is a wonderful service that lets you earn Steem while you are brainstorming that amazing post.
MinnowSmith mines Steem for you
It uses your CPU power to mine monero but it pays you in steem, now who does not like some extra steem for doing absolutely nothing.. Minnowsmith uses your cpu in the background to mine monero while letting you use your PC to continue creating content.
we are all mining steem with our minds, why not mine with your CPU.
Please read bellow @minnowsmith's introduction
Let's calculate what a computer with 50 hashes per second can provide per day:
50 * 60 * 60 * 24 = 4,320,000 hashes! (hashes * seconds * minutes * hours)
4,320,000 / 237,500 = ~18,18 = 0.018$
That doesn't seem a lot but can help a minnow to get started and used to the steem ecosystem. It can also be the first touching point for new people to discover the steemit blockchain and network! So if you find this useful, spread a word or share an article about it. :)
How do I get started?
No this does not damage your pc/laptop no there are no viruses, it just uses your CPU to mine XMR and pays you in Steem daily.
The payout happens automatically every 24h when your account balance is at least 0.001 STEEM (This will be changed in the future to be more custom and flexible). You will receive the payout from @minnowsmith. The current rate is 250.000 hashes for 0.001 STEEM. (This rate will be calculated on the network difficulty in the future)
This application is developed with love by @spotted. Follow @minnowsmith
I fully support this project. You should too it helps to earn a bit of steem.
