JSECoin Launched Merchant Tools, Including WooCommerce Support
JSECoin is a JavaScript based blockchain (and token) which aims to replace AdSense, thus positioning themselves as a monetization alternative for webmasters. It's a relatively recent player in the crypto space.
If you follow my posts for more than 6 months, though, you are aware of it, as well as of the small ins and outs I had on Steemit (mostly out of confusion) with the JSECoin code running on steem.supply. I don't have the JSECode mining code on steem.supply anymore, but I do have it on a few other sites I manage, so I follow the project quite closely and try to stay on top of the news related to this topic.
Last week, JSECoin launched the merchant tools for the project, tools which are containing, among other packages, a plugin for WooCommerce as well. This means that if you run a WooCommerce based ecommerce site, you can already accept JSECoin tokens for your products or services.
I find this development very encouraging (wishing to have a STEEM-based merchant tool as well, but hey, let's keep keeping our fingers crossed,right?).
The token is not yet listed on exchanges and you can still mine it if you install their code on your website.
Please be aware that JSECoin is Opt-In, which means your visitors will get a nice, big, visible pop-up, informing them that if they accept, a small part of their CPU power will be used to mine the currency, as a form of payment for the site owner. It's the only Opt-In token that I know of so far, putting it in a completely different class than other projects (like clandestine Monero mining via CoinHive). They've also been whitelisted by Kaspersky antivirus last month, which means your site won't appear as "potential malware". In other words, is a very transparent and legit way of monetizing a website, if you believe in the future of JSECoin, obviously.
If you want to try it out, you can start from here.

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards |
Are you implying that in the future it will not be mineable?
Nope, maybe I should just have said: "you could mine it" :)
Hearing about this Java script JEscoin for the first time and it's a bit complex to understand...I don't know if anyone else feels the same.
The coin allow website owners to monetize their sites, if you are a visitor on a website where the token is installed, you will receive a popup asking your permission to use part of your computing power to mining it. The benefit derived from mining it goes to website owner as long as your browser is on the website, when you exit, mining will stop.
In this case, you are donating money to the website owner. You can run the script to monetise your sites too.
I see cryptocurrencies being the forefront of every transaction system. JSEcoin already has a leading use case as one of its strong points is its application to woocommerce sites. However, steem infusing this technology will be a game changer for all
Okay. So the blockchain is javascript based, so are the tokens, and you can either provide products or services in exchange for the token, and visitors can also help you mine the tokens.
Interesting. Sounds like they're ahead of STEEM in some ways. At least as far as woo ecommerce is concerned and other business possibilities.
Isn't that what SMTs are supposed to provide for STEEM, or am I getting all of this confused again. :)
I think JSECoin and STEEM are vey different, both in philosophy and in implementation. I may even write an article about that, if you are interested, but to keep it short, here are a few differences:
Okay. The two sound very different then, and not even close to what I was thinking. :)
Thanks for pointing those out. Feel free to write a post if you think it's worthwhile. Otherwise, no worries. :)
Yeah I do remember you talking about this a while ago....
Any news about SMT????
Adsense replacement? Really? Just like Dtube to Youtube. Well, I recently out of monetisation from adsense due to New rules from youtube. Hahaha.. I will be happy if this will come. So many people create content-- not just content but great content which we should be getting paid..
jsecoin not leaving any opportunity behind trying everything :)
Interesting alternative @dragosroua. Good thing they got whitelisted by "Kaspersky antivirus", I feel that all cryptoprojects/wallets and such should try and put more energy into being whitelisted, it really feels uncomfortable to install or work with software that is getting "flagged".
Hearing relating to this Java script JEscoin for the very first time and it is a bit complex to comprehend... I do not know if anyone else feels a similar
SMT tokens will really replace it or not?
