Compute Donation Page
hybridConsent-first Web Worker compute for BOINC/Cocoon-style workloads.
Purpose
Compute Donation lets users opt into donating idle CPU cycles through an isolated Web Worker while keeping the browser responsive.
When to Use
- When plugged into power
- When the user explicitly consents
- When tab visibility and battery are safe
- When demonstrating ethical browser compute
Best First Action
Hover to read the consent explanation, then choose Low or Medium intensity before starting.

Purpose
Compute Donation lets users opt into donating idle CPU cycles through an isolated Web Worker while keeping the browser responsive.
When to Use
- When plugged into power
- When the user explicitly consents
- When tab visibility and battery are safe
- When demonstrating ethical browser compute
Best First Action
Hover to read the consent explanation, then choose Low or Medium intensity before starting.
Best Practices
- Never auto-start compute.
- Stop when battery is low or the user leaves.
- Expose live stats.
- Use workers, never main-thread loops.
Common Mistakes
- Starting compute without consent.
- Running high intensity on battery.
- Claiming BOINC/Cocoon integration is live before real project backends are wired.
Next Steps
- Open Community compute tab.
- Review BOINC/Gridcoin links.
- Log compute sessions for transparency.
