Title: Looking for some help on a charity project Post by: onefry on November 14, 2018, 06:09:52 PM A while ago I started working on a hashing for kitty cats screensaver, when the computer goes idle (same time the screensaver comes on) the cpu (or gpu in the future) will mine (right now it's set for xmr) I have just about everything working except getting the screensaver to work on a different machine.
Was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers, they would be more than welcome to take what they want from the work i've spent so far (to make their own) Proceeds will go to helping cats in need. My fiancee is a crazy cat lady lol.

So you do mean you would like to mine monero without affecting your current works on PC or do mine when idle? as far as i know you can
do mine without maximizing the full usage of your own PC usage if you do tend to make use of minergrate on mining XMR. Unless if you maximize it to the peak then i would say you can barely use it and talking with that kitty screensaver theres no such setting for it to be automatically launch when idle. Correct me if im wrong. 8) Title: Re: Looking for some help on a charity project Post by: onefry on November 14, 2018, 09:59:21 PM Trying to understand on what you are trying to say here.

I'm looking to make this for people who aren't savvy, someone who just knows how to double click a file and hit install and have everything be configured.

Do you have a website where I can read more about this? Which exact charity will you be donating the funds to? Are you planning on providing proof of those donations?

We were hoping to start our own rescue in New Jersey, so many cats in need :( However we do plan to be 100% transparent, website I can make up always I just want a working product before I whip it up. We have other charity ideas as well, but we could always make different screen savers for each charity.

Kitty and Crypto lovers (see Lauda) may use your screensaver for a month or two, but once they see their electricity bill shoot up, they will stop. :( Title: Re: Looking for some help on a charity project Post by: onefry on November 16, 2018, 04:42:02 AM Thank you.

I spoke with vets offices and the managers are interested in using the screensaver on their computers. I run a small IT company in New Jersey, will ask all my clients.

I'd definitely add a feature where users can choose how much resources they want to spend on mining. I mean it should be possible to set the mining to only use around 25% of the CPU/GPU, right? You wouldn't even have to turn it into a screensaver, it could just be an app that they run while working on their PC.

Title: Re: Looking for some help on a charity project Post by: Theb on November 17, 2018, 10:03:04 AM Can you give us some more details about this screensaver you are developing? Do you intend this to work on different users or just your own devices? If it is the former, will the user using your screensavers earn XMR as well or will you be just the one earning from their devices? Now, if it is the latter you must be aware that what you will be doing is cryptojacking, which is the unauthorized use of their cpus' power for mining. My advice for you is to put in some notice and agreement that it is not purely a screensaver but will also act as a mining software once it is activated, as you will be unjustly enriching yourself without their approval even if the purpose of this software is for helping cats in need.
