Gath3r is much more than a webminer.
Introduction
What is a WebMiner?
A webminer: developers and website owners use JavaScript to run code on their platform and take advantage of the processing power of the computers of the users who visit their website. With this processing power, the mining of a certain cryptocurrency is executed.
When mining occurs of course brings with it profits to the owners of websites, for this reason the web miners are taking a high popularity.
The Controversy (Cryptojacking)
The controversy regarding the Webminer is the use of the processing power of the equipment of the website visitors, without prior notice. That is, without asking the visitor for permission, the owner of a website takes advantage of the innocence and ignorance of the users to hijack a percentage of the CPU of their equipment for their own benefit, hence the term "Cryptojacking".
One of the most popular web mining services is CoinHive, which has been in the news on multiple occasions, being found in such popular websites as Movistar España, where it was discovered mining cryptocurrencies in the month of December. CoinHive is a sequence of commands that is installed - most of the time - at the will of a client who owns a website and is in charge of mining the Monero cryptocurrency on the device (either in phones, tablets, laptops or PC). Coinhive also has a Captcha resolution service and ad shortening. The controversy surrounding the use of CoinHive began in September 2017, when the file exchange site The Pirate Bay decided to incorporate the code into its website to use the processing power of visitors without prior notice. Other web miners are Minr and Crypto-Loot.
Gath3r: Optimize The Way You Monetize
What is Gath3r?
Gath3r is an integrated platform, based on a hybrid block chain including unique features such as merged Mining, intelligent contracts and easy-to-build skills for developers/companies.
Gath3r is an additional or alternative form of monetization, without being intrusive, or degrading the user's browsing experience. Gath3r comes to change the way writers, publishers, bloggers and website owners can earn for their work.

Features
Merged Mining
Gath3r is the first and only web miner that allows the simultaneous mining of different currencies based on similar algorithms. This advanced feature results in greater profitability for users and in chain security and decentralization for developers.
The merged mining can be understood better if we take as an example the pairs Bitcoin and Namecoin and Litecoin and Dogecoin. In a merged mining process, there always has to be a main and an auxiliary block chain. This process involves the extraction of two currencies that are based on the same algorithm, simultaneously. Basically, merged mining allows a miner to extract more than one block chain at a time without the need for additional computing power from the miners, in addition to increasing their security (lower threat of a 51% attack) and functionality.
Smart contracts and interoperability
Smart Gath3r contracts allow interactions with other currencies, without adding any work to the main chain. Thanks to the merged mining the miners can have safe, reliable intelligent contracts without any problem.
By having two coins extracted for the price of a help to the miners to save resources while providing the same amount of hash to both networks, which helps the secondary chain.
This intelligent contract capability allows the interoperability of block chains through Gath3r and Private Masternodes. These Smart Contracts can be implemented directly from a GUI and can trigger transactions and tasks through the network based on predefined conditions.
Turn-key solution
Gath3r makes things easier for companies that want to navigate the world of cryptocurrencies using web mining. Gath3r offers a complete turnkey solution where companies and developers will have the option to create and launch / fork their product / service in the GTH chain payable in USD. The launch, development and mining of the chain (since the currency would merge with GTH and the websites and applications with GTH) are covered by the service.
Masternodes and Lite nodes.
The masternodes are the nodes where the highest processing load of the network occurs, where heavy data processing is handled, keeping the network running. Lite nodes are used to handle smaller specific processes, then synchronize with masternodes, so browsing will require fewer resources.
By performing this separation of nodes and their periodic synchronization allows the navigation performance for the end user is optimal and without problems.
Benefits
New Way to Add
Normally an editor generates profits on your website by displaying advertising ads, but this advertising is very intrusive and makes websites unpleasant, and many of these ads only monetize the publisher when the visitor clicks on the ad.
Another daily way to generate income that publishers have is subscription plans, where users are asked to pay a monthly fee to obtain certain content.
These two ways to earn income are not well seen by users, which results in a decrease in visits and browsing time on our site, and consequently a decrease in revenue.
Gath3r gives the publisher the opportunity to generate revenue without affecting the user, reducing the use of advertising ad or eliminating it completely if desired. And without having to ask for a monthly payment to ensure profits. Thanks to the merged mining features Gath3r can establish a new way of adding profits.
Everyone Can Add - Everyone Can Win
Unlike subscription plans where users are charged a monthly fee to obtain some content, with Gath3r you can all win.
An editor can reward its users for their loyalty in the reading and participation of its content, thanks to the Gath3r loyalty program. For example, the webmaster of a blog can configure the settings of its mining in the browser so that users receive 5% of what they extract.
Transparency
Although some sites where web mining is joined, it does so from the shadows, hidden from the users.
Gath3r when installing your code on a website, asks the visitor if they want to participate in the mining or not. If the end user accepts the terms, mining begins without affecting the browsing experience. And the win-win begins for all.
It is excellent for new projects
Gather offers new projects a turnkey solution, where the Gath3r team will be responsible for coding and running the entire website, facilitating things in a very practical and convenient way for new companies and web projects.
Case of use
Enterprising Writer
Jhon is a professional writer who is venturing into the web. He has been sharing his writings on platforms such as social networks, and has made a few profits by applying some subscription plans, charging a monthly fee. However, he has seen how his income has decreased and his readers leave him and leave a comment about not being able to pay the subscription. A faithful reader of his website, he writes about Gath3r and explains that he can generate an income using combined mining, generating profits for both the writer and his readers. Indeed, now Jhon has a loyalty plan, and shares with his readers 10% of what they generate for mining. All Win and All Happy.
Conclusions
Gath3r has features that make it stand out from its competitors, such as the ability to handle traffic at greater scales, leaving the majority behind.
On the other hand one of its strongholds is that it has greater transparency and is totally reliable, some other Webminers have allowed their code to be pirated.
Gath3r has the ability to extract multiple cryptocurrencies.
Gath3r offers a way to exchange our currency for other cryptographic or fiduciary currencies. Currently, nobody else does it.
It is very easy to implement Gath3r on our websites, all you have to do is insert a bit of code into one or more pages of the website. We provide complete instructions for implementation, cryptocurrency funds we use, rates and payments.
For these and other reasons Gath3r is much more than a web miner.
