Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
PotatoDev presents a desktop-like browser app that uses WebGPU for proof-of-work mining and says a share of rewards will fund AI training.
- For
- GPU owners willing to opt into browser-based mining
- Worth noticing
- The site says mining pauses when the tab is hidden and can be throttled from 10% to 100% duty cycle.
Field notes
The page describes a desktop that runs inside a browser tab, with movable windows and programs that can be bookmarked or shared. It says settings, datasets, and trained models stay in the browser’s storage unless exported. Mining controls include an adjustable duty cycle, a one-click stop, and pauses tied to tab visibility; the site also says closing the tab ends the process.
