Please read this before submitting:

This project has nothing to do with coinhive.com

What this package does is just the following:

  1. Launch a local server that serves a page where CoinHive's Javascript miner is embedded.

  2. Launch puppeteer (a headless chrome) pointing to that page.

  3. Expose an API that allows you to interact with that miner from node.js (starting, stopping, etc).

The purpose of this package is to allow you to run CoinHive's JavaScript miner from node.js (otherwise it only works on the browser).

If you have an issue with CoinHive's JavaScript miner, or with coinhive.com website, you should read their FAQs and contact them here:

Thanks for reading ^.^ if you do have an issue with this package (have a question, found a bug, feature request) then please do submit it

you can't with this and even if you implemented the algorithm it would be so inefficient that it'd be nonsense.
