What is Donate Your Tab?

Wait, what is this thing? Good question. You've heard of Bitcoin? Well this is the same concept except you can easily "mine" the coins through your browser and we donate that money to charity. Leave the site open and turned on to your cause of choice and donate your spare CPU cycles to making them money.

Why would I want to use this? We obviously think you should contribute your time, voice and cold hard cash to your favorite charity. But this site is a good start. You're already on your computer, why not use that time to make money for causes you support? These days we often feel guilty like we can't change anything but this allows you to do something even when you're just sitting on the internet scrolling through your newsfeeds.

Are you affiliated with any of these charities? No! We use their logos so you can see what the charity is. We have not been in contact with any of these charities.

How do you choose causes? We are trying to focus on causes that are timely. By focusing on only a few causes we can pool more resources into making money for them. We'd love to hear what cause you'd like featured here. Get in touch.

What are we mining? Monero (XMR), which has a market cap of over $1.3 billion. Coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum need significant GPU processing to mine where Monero can be effectively mined through using the CPU on your computer. This lends itself to browser based mining. How does the mining work? We use a service called Coin Hive, which is an API that allows browser based cryptocurrency mining. All of the hashes you compute in-browser go into their pool and once we reach a certain dollar amount Coin Hive sends us the money. We then cut a check to each charity based on how much was generated. We make ZERO dollars off this. Coin Hive takes 30% of all proceeds for runing the mining pool and providing the mining services. We're exploring ways to make that number lower by using a different or homegrown solution. […]
