The following method is cross-platform, it works also for other SE sites. Oh, and it is also cross-platform in the sense that it works for other operating systems.
Based on this meta.SO comment, I have created the following script that automatically starts mining every 15 seconds, from the moment of invocation:
(function(fn){setInterval(fn,15e3);fn()})(function() { $.get("/unicoin/rock").done(function(obj) { console.log("Mining: ", obj); var key = obj.rock; $.post(["/unicoin/mine?rock=" + key], {fkey: StackExchange.options.user.fkey}); }); });
As this is a script, you should execute it on the SE domain where you wish to accelerate your mining. In Firefox, you can open the Console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + K. In Chromium, simply press F12. Paste it and gain coins! To stop it, simply refresh (or close) the page.
Note: you should not execute this multiple times. That would make the Unicoins economy collapse and therefore measures have been taken such that you cannot get coins in that case.

to do the job... Not to mention, this wasn't the only instance. I once downloaded a similar tool for Windows because I had to perform some action which required me to click mouse at the same position numerous number of times.. So, it's not a joke from my side.. I've found its uses a fair number of times to appreciate the value of this question.. :-)
