A quick little hack to automagically mine unicoins (stackoverflow.com April Fools 2014) <3 /dev/alias (www.devalias.net)

HackMeSomeUnicoins.md

First, go to stackoverflow.com then define this in your Javascript console:

var hackMeSomeUnicoins = function(myFkey) {
  console.log("Ok, let's hack you some shiny unicoins! <3 /dev/alias (www.devalias.net)")
  console.log("The powers that be say you can only mine a rock every 10sec, so we do it every 11sec to be sure.")
  window.setInterval(function(){
    $.get( "http://stackoverflow.com/unicoin/rock", function( data ) {
      var rockId = data.rock;
      $.post( "http://stackoverflow.com/unicoin/mine?rock=" + rockId, { fkey: myFkey })
      .done(function( data ) {
        console.log(data);
      });
    });
  }, 11000);
};

Once you have done that, just call this from the console:

hackMeSomeUnicoins(StackExchange.options.user.fkey);

(Thanks to @ouranos for the fkey options string)

You can get your fkey by inspecting the POST made when you successfully (manually) mine a rock. (It's also stored in a data-fkey type value somewhere, but haven't been bothered to find it and automagically pull it out (feel free to contribute some JS to do it)

Unfortunately, the server give less and less coins while you try to mine...

ouranos: Cool, thanks for that :)

suhailvs: Definitely a nicer looking version than what I hacked together :)

SteamWind: I noticed that I seemed to be getting a LOT of 0 coins after a while, but still managed to get enough through this to buy all the features :)

@suhailvs small typo in your setTimeout, should be minec not UniMine

Sad it's already finish... :(
Nobody have think about doing a chrome extension to keep it anyway ? ^^
