Title: run cpuminer in background? Post by: juggalodarkclow on February 02, 2012, 08:36:21 PM I have a few family members that are willing to let me run cpuminer on their computer as long as they don't have to look at it and i'm afraid if i let it run as is they might accidentally close it, is there any way to run it in the background?
Title: Re: run cpuminer in background? Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on February 02, 2012, 09:04:15 PM There is an application called Z-Hider which with Ctrl+Alt+Z hides an application's window completely, for windows.
However if they accidentally press that combo on anything else, it will also get hidden. Title: Re: run cpuminer in background? Post by: Revalin on February 02, 2012, 10:46:46 PM guiminer can run in the systray and you can set the icon hidden in the tray.

It can be done with some very simple VBS... I don't remember where I found it, I'll search for it when I'm back to my home PC tomorrow.Title: Re: run cpuminer in background?

Post by: joulesbeef on February 06, 2012, 08:14:09 PM oo good question, i have a similar one.
I have these .. er lets call them family members who are willing to let me run cpuminer on their computer as long as they don't have to look at it and they really dont want me disturbing them by coming by and installing cpuminer and such either. What would be the best way to get cpuminer onto their computers without disturbing them or getting caught. thanks ;) Title: Re: run cpuminer in background? Post by: localhost on February 06, 2012, 08:34:14 PM You know, I do run it hidden like this on my own PC. I've got my task bar on the side (with those 16/10 modern monitors, that's pretty much the best place to put it IMO), so whenever I've got too many buttons it becomes a total pain to browse. Anything I can gain is good, putting the miner out of view is awesome in that matter.
