## What it is
A Node.js library and CLI that mines Monero (XMR) and Electroneum (ETN) using the CoinHive JavaScript miner, driven via Puppeteer. It supports custom stratum pools, proxies, and configurable threads/throttle.

## Use cases
- mine monero from node.js
- run a coinhive miner on a stratum pool
- mine electroneum from the command line
- embed a cryptocurrency miner in a node app
- mine xmr through a socks proxy

## When to choose
- you specifically need the legacy CoinHive miner API from Node.js
- you want a simple CLI to mine XMR or ETN on stratum pools

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained miner - CoinHive shut down and the package hasn't been published in years
- you want efficient native CPU/GPU mining rather than a browser-based Puppeteer miner
- you need modern Monero mining software like XMRig
