# Bitblog
### [View Demo](https://cosmicjs.com/apps/bitblog/demo)
### What is this?
Forked from the [Simple Blog](https://github.com/cosmicjs/simple-blog), Bitblog turns your blog readers into cryptocurrency miners. It uses [Coin Hive](https://coin-hive.com/) to mine [Monero](https://getmonero.org/) coins directly in the reader's browser (with their consent of course). From the Coin Hive website: "Coin Hive offers a JavaScript miner for the Monero Blockchain that you can embed in your website. Your users run the miner directly in their Browser and mine XMR for you in turn for an ad-free experience, in-game currency or whatever incentives you can come up with."
