Just found out about this Google Chrome extension called cryptotab, it works by mining in the background while you have Google Chrome open, as with all things like this it wont make a fortune but i thought a handy thing to have and earn in background while browsing anyway.
This is how much i have earned using it for an hour or two, have just started using it so dont have any payout proofs.
The link to it is https://getcryptotab.com or if you would like to use my referral link https://getcryptotab.com/555503

That annoys me, I think it's rather nasty of them. BTC only has 8 decimal places. By adding in extra ones, they make it look like you're getting something worthwhile. Fact is: a single US cent is worth about 35x as much as you mined there; or to put it another way: it would take almost three days of mining like that to earn one cent.
Even with price growth and over a month or two, that's not worth a thing. I'm guessing you would pay a lot more to mine that (electricity costs of running your processor a bit faster to mine)then you could ever make from the payouts.
My advice would be not to bother.
P.S. even if they do eventually pay you, you'll lose most of it in transaction fees.
yeah they added extra decimal places, not so handy that. i just have it on low in background, going to forget about it for some time and come back to it, hopefully be surprised, and as for electricity cost wont be very high.
I think you'll find you still lose, but the costs are very minimal, so if you enjoy it then go for it.
Yeah i know, but if on in background for a long time might be nice surprise
