I noticed in my feed the other day that Monero is introducing javascript client side wallets. And its just one of those ideas I can't get out of my head. I love the idea of every web site visitor as "digital bank". That instantly accrues some wuffie just by participating.

And it opens up a huge range of "economic games" for all parties. Not just auctions, exchanges, casinos, and e-sports betting networks. But voting, stake holding, debt issuance, derivative products, commodity peer net grid computing. As well as a drop dead simple system for the allocation of public funds.

It’s a fantastic idea, but it’s also dead on arrival without first hand integration into Chrome. Brave is doing something similar with bats, but even that is limited. I think browser based mining is a huge deal, but Google has somehow managed to convince everyone that is malware instead of a legitimate threat to their business model.
