DNet Client in Java?

I was thinking, theres gotta be a way to hijack the cycles of people who visit a webpage, even if its only a small piece at a time, it could add up if we had it on a high traffic site. A Java applet that once loaded on a page, would grab a small hunk of work (like less than a block, im sure it would be slow, and it wouldnt have much time) from a proxy, crack it, send it back. A Client in Java would be really simple im sure, its just like C++, which most clients are written in anyways. What do you guys think?
 
MIT actually started out by doing something like this....someone else thought of it too, but its horribly slow....but it IS better than nothing. I don't know what came of it, but, if you can convince D.net....but the clients are written in C, not C++ (from what I've heard)
 
The RC5 client on that page runs about 1/6th the speed of the D.Net client for me, so I don't know that's the best way to get a good keyrate.

On the original Java version of Gamma Flux, I had considered putting the client in a frame of my home page, so anyone coming there would run it for me. 🙂 Unfortunately, (1) the client was too slow to complete a WU before people would likely move on to another page, and (2) the site got hacked before I could implement the scheme. 🙁
 
I like the way you use the word hijack there train as, without telling these people what the applet is doing, this would be exactly what you are doing and I dont think D.net would be too happy. I dont know how this would apply to their rules on having permission to work for you or trojan rules - the only way I can see you satisfying that is by actually having a small page that loads first and tells them that the next page has a java applet that will do this.
 
well you could argue that pages "hijack" your CPU cycles all the time without your permission, how many times are you bothered by Java banners, flash intros, and other annoying scripts (like the ones that keep opening new windows)

Or we could put it on a page that says "test your CPU speed here" or something like that, wed get tons of tech geeks to a page like that, then on that same page, have banners for TA
