Title: IdleLauncher v0.1 - Windows
Post by: fr3shminer on December 03, 2013, 11:13:30 PM
Hello everybody !

After trying to find a working software to launch miners when the computer is idle, I decided to write mine with only one thing in mind : make it easy for everyone !

Windows XP -> 8
32 & 64bit

4 files
-------------------
il_start.exe
il_start.ini

il_stop.exe
il_stop.ini
-------------------
[Copy] all the files in the miner directory

[Edit] il_start.ini
0=minerd.exe (the miner executable)
1=--url=stratum+tcp://myminingpool.com:3333 --userpass=my.worker:password (the command line arguments)
2=5 (Time in seconds to launch the miner after idle detection)
3=0 (the window mode 0=minimize, 1=maximize, 2=hide)

[Edit] il_stop.ini
0=il_start.exe (the IdleLauncher executable)

[Execute] il_start.exe = after the time you defined in il_start.ini it will launch the miner

[Execute] il_stop.exe = if you want to stop il_start.exe without the task manager

Feel free to rename the executables, just don't forget to change the new name of "il_start.exe" in "il_stop.ini".

So, does it include the source code so that people could even check if it was a trojan, or should people just be happy that some n00b posted a windows binary that people should simply download and run?
Nope - no sign of source code.

Though I do wonder why the binary calls
"FtpOpenFileW"

Since according to Microsoft that only does one thing: open an FTP connection somewhere ... and even though mining doesn't use FTP at all, worse: why would an idle launcher use FTP?

FYI: I don't run windows and I don't alt-coin mine, this was just a thread that was moved from the part of the forum I spend my time on ... so I happened to randomly read it ...

Edit: and who is jonbennett
