I saw that there's a new currency on the site today for higher privileges called Unicoin. You can mine them by clicking quickly.
I was wondering if there's any Ubuntu wizardry that could speed up the process of mining these coins (and by extension to prove that Ubuntu is better than Windows).
Any help appreciated. Index finger is getting tired.
The following method is cross-platform, it works also for other SE sites. Oh, and it is also cross-platform in the sense that it works for other operating systems.
Based on this meta.SO comment, I have created the following script that automatically starts mining every 15 seconds, from the moment of invocation:
(function(fn){setInterval(fn,15e3);fn()})(function() { $.get("/unicoin/rock").done(function(obj) { console.log("Mining: ", obj); var key = obj.rock; $.post(["/unicoin/mine?rock=" + key], {fkey: StackExchange.options.user.fkey}); }); });
As this is a script, you should execute it on the SE domain where you wish to accelerate your mining. In Firefox, you can open the Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + K. In Chromium, simply press F12. Paste it and gain coins! To stop it, simply refresh (or close) the page.
Note: you should not execute this multiple times. That would make the Unicoins economy collapse and therefore measures have been taken such that you cannot get coins in that case.
