Hello all! Someone knows is it possible to make a miner when started not visible on the taskbar for example. Or not to be visible at all i saw one post there the guy said that he has such miner which is not visible and starts with the boot of windows.. Thank you

yes, you can run cgminer [or anything] from the task scheduler which will switch on when the machine is idle and switch off when active there are other ways
VBScript,
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "cmd /c cd C:\Users\public\cgminer -c c:\User\public\cgminer.conf ", 0
The important part here is passing 0 as the second parameter of WshShell.Run It tells cmd.exe to hide its window.
OK ?

Not showing in the task bar is a standard windows property easily added: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749579.aspx

I believe there is a bunch of malware out there that does this...sucking up cpu cycles and slowing peoples machines down.

I used a VB script like that last year in my company to make all designer's computers mine BTC. It works very well

The PC will definitely not be silent in terms of noise - if hashing at full speed

Cryptography is one of the few things you can truly trust.

Word of advice - if you don't know how to write your own VB scripts you probably can't cover up your tracks well enough to stay out of trouble. It's not worth stealing from your workplace unless you are looking at getting fired and don't mind the threat of incarceration. There have been several threads posted on here similar to this. One where an idiot posted his a ref to his real identity and he lost his job and was charged (couldn't find the archived thread).
Those smart enough to cover their tracks could probably make more $ running a botnet or creating a real crypto business.

can I limit the resources used by a miner so no one would notice it?
