Why puppeteer?

[philkunz]

I wonder: Why do you use puppeteer? nodejs already provides the v8 engine, doesn't it?

[soyuka]

because the original script runs in the browser, not sure you can run wasm scripts in node?

bcs some JavaScript functions in coinhive's codes only working for the browser. like some function to get CPU cores number and Worker. If you wanna running wasm in node in your OS. Why nodejs in used. C / C++ more fast than it. Why not to running a ccminer or ELF miner to mining more?

[soyuka]

@evil7 Exactly what I'm saying to everyone, this has a really low interest and real miner like xmrig are way better on an actual server.

[philkunz]

makes sense.
