Here is a screensaver front-end for your miners.

I got a Windows7 64-bit AMD laptop with ATI and Ive got the screensaver
working with my account at bitcoin.cz

THANKS!!!

Only the 1st one, the 4wayminer screensaver has a SETUP button
that works, and on that one, GPU options can't be set.

Is this how it is supposed to work or did I do something wrong?

Now that I have these files, is there a .bat file or some way to use
my GPU and what other mining pools should I be looking at?

Also, how much difference does it make if the screensaver stops and
starts, for instance, if it runs for 4 hours but stops for a few minutes
5 or 6 times versus running 4 hours straight.

My 2.9Mhz toshiba satelite gets about 4000 hashs/s - what sort of bitcoin
reward should I expect?

Has anyone built or dedicated a data center yet? What about running it on
a cloud like Hyper-V?

Love it!  This makes it ever so much easier to keep my machines chugging away at mining.

Question (or feature request, perhaps) - Any way to make them just blank the screen, rather than showing stats and the coins dancing around?

I second this... If there was a way to make this incognito it would be great!

Hi guys,
complete newb here, so I'm feeling pretty dumb about all this. I downloaded and set up the screensaver in this thread. registered with BPM, put in the website,  user , password, etc but when it runs it tells me that it's doing 0 khash/s, although if I check I see the cpu is maxed out. In my bitcoin cient if I set it to generate it goes at 1,000 khash/s.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I used settings like this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bitcoin Screensaver]
"workrefreshms"=dword:000001f4
"url"="http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/"
"username"="login.suffix"
"password"="password"
"statsurl"="http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/"
"aggression"=dword:0000000a
"threadscpu"=dword:00000001

(I left out all those with dword, if left blank, defaults are used.
And it worked. Make sure your firewall isnt blocking that port, the mining website might have
been down, or sometimes Ive seen it take a few minutes before it started working.

I figured out my Radeon 4200 GPU isnt going mining, as far as I know. My dual core Phenom
does around 3900-4200 hash/s - Any cent$ in me doing this? How long? Calculator?

I've got the bitcoin screensavers installed, but only the 4way or CPU ones are working.  Even though I've successfully got OpenCL installed, the OpenCL screensaver crashes every time.  poclbm is setup and working just fine, so, I Think OpenCL is working for mining... but, I could be wrong.  Help please?

You could try my application WhileIdle if you want to mine incognito while the machine is idle:

Thanks SleepMachine! 

Oh, I forgot to mention that since my attempt at installing OpenCL on this computer, and installing the newest RPC screensavers, the 4way screensaver is only able to do about 20 khash/s, rather than the 300 or so it was doing before. 

I don't know why.  But GUI miner, loading the 4way RPC miner executable works fine, it's just that I can't do much of anything while that's running, even on Lowest CPU priority, it hogs the system somehow, still.  I don't understand how.

As for the program you made SleepMachine, will it shut off when Dad switches to his desktop, the way the screensaver does?

Anyone give it a try ?
