Hi Ethereum Javascripters,

I'm a web developer who's interested in ethereum in javascript and am very interested in mining with javascript (I know it'll be slower).
While I've read Dagger-hashimoto and a lot of blockchain material, I'm confused with how to use ethashjs.

I see that it says it can be browserified but I have no idea how to actually use it.

I have geth running with jsonrpc enabled and working with curl requests. But I can't figure out what I need from geth in order to run ethashjs.

Perhaps someone here could help me, what should I be doing to try and mine in the browser using ethashjs?

I think it is very unlikely to use this in the browser, given the need of ~2GB of working memory.

The entire DAG does not need to be stored in the browser's memory. It could be streamed from a server.
