Does anyone know how i can configure a computer to run this miner only when the computer is otherwise idle? (and stop mining when computer is being used)
Would i have to compile the miner into a .scr or are there better ways?
This is for windows btw.
Go into Task Manager and set the process to Below Normal priority. No, i actually want to start the application (read: process) when the computer has been idle for 5 minutes. And end the process when someone starts to use the computer. |

There are several screensavers that trigger applications, for example Screen Launcher. I haven't tried any of them yet, though... Also, i just upgraded my miner from 0.6 to 0.10 and my rate went from 60-70 mhash/s to 130-140 mhash/s, nice work there ufasoft... |

You're getting 130-140 mhash/s from a CPU? |

No, most of that's my HD 5770  From my i5 750 I get ~12.6 mhash/s |

The problem with Screen Launcher is that, as far as I know, the actual miner becomes the screensaver. I want the miner to be invisible in the background while the computer is idle. |

Thanks, now it compiles with no problem. But it doesn't mine: just shows I have 0 MHash/s. Stracing this process doesn't help. I'm using 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 (yes, I should have installed 64bit-version, but I did not and I'm a bit lazy now), my CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9550 @ 2.66GHz |

Hello
I am trying to compile your Linux source
It says I'm missing JWASM
Can't find it on apt, and i have found several implementations of the asm interpreter, I was wondering which version you use?
Any update about the missing jwasm error ? checking for g++... /usr/bin/g++ checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for jwasm... no configure: error: Cannot find jwasm. |

If you are into coding, you might want to check out the Task Scheduler... |

OK I found the solution for the Liinux uswrs.. at least i did it on ubuntu natty and it is running great now .. and i bielive if it run on natty then it will run on any other Linux  (natty is very naughty) 1) download the JWasm from here http://www.japheth.de/JWasm.html2) extract the package. 3) from teh jwasm directory sudo aptitude install gcc-4.5 sudo aptitude install g++-4.5 sudo cp JWASM /usr/bin/jwasm sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/jwasm sudo aptitude install libpcre++-dev sudo aptitude install libcurl4-dev 4) download the ufasoft and extract it 5) from the ufasoft directory sudo CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install I think this should be sticky or included in the first post or at least included in your install file.  but now the problem is it only gives 0 mhash/s ! Thanks in advance again ufasoft |

If you are into coding, you might want to check out the Task Scheduler... Actually, I AM into coding... and last night I coded a C# app that fits my needs. I can post it here if someone else wants it. |

Funny Yes, I did exactly what you did (except I'm using gcc-4.6), and ran into 0 MHash/sec as I sad |
