Okay, a bit of a problem that I was able to fix but it was strange. First of all chrome would not work correctly, but IE9 did. After install, the install files remained on the processes list. It didn't use much space but definitely shouldn't be there. When I tried to end the .exe process, it didn't work either. the process with the program nss or something of the like had to be closed first. Eventually it uninstalled. I think avast antivirus might have been part of the problem, but I'm not sure. I'll keep messing with it to see if the problem continues.



Worked fine for me with chrome. Not using an antivirus.

Agreed.... and why pay would we pay a fee when shroomery makes $$$$ off this new program, folding chair, sponsor fees, advertising, merchandise, name changes, etc.

Doesn't matter how much memory you have - that's irrelevant.
All idle CPU cycles will go to this background program for mining.
If you start up another program, it will take whatever CPU it needs, then whatever's left over will be used by the mining program.

Doesn't matter if you have 1 GB or 100 GB of RAM.

Honestly I knew it would take some resources, but not 100%......(not that I care)

Other than that not even really sure how this works....I don't get this whole crypto currency thing.....it all seems rather strange.....didn't this all start from minecraft? Now it's a valid currency that can be generated by cpu calculations? Not really sure how to comprehend this....maybe I am not taking in all the info I need.... :shrug:

I don't know.....I'm just glad to help is all.....

It's just like Folding@home guys.  Been explained a couple times already in this thread :wink:  Idle CPU cycles get donated to whatever the hell this thing is doing, when you need them for what you're doing on your own computer they're yours and nothing you run is affected.  99% of the time your CPU isn't doing shit.  You're donating that time to make it do something for some good.  (if I'm incorrect and it's somehow way different that folding, someone please do correct but this is my understanding)

That's pretty much it.

Well folding@home is more geared to calculated formulas for scientific purposes. This is more like a bitcoin/litecoin miner, and that is exactly what it does. It works on whatever cryptocurrency (out of 24 right?) that is most useful with spare cycles. When a program you use wants power it's diverted easily to the other programs. I also have 6 full cores at 3.8Ghz and this sucker is using all 6, except for when I'm using them of course :wellhellothere:

In response to whoever responded to my chrome comment, it was just avast being a whore and trying to protect me when I didn't need it. minerd.exe has quite an evil reputation as malware lol.

That's cool, I was just thinking about mentioning that in the waf forums, good stuffs. I think it would be cool if we had our own shroomery mining pool, but with a small fee, and once that fee accumulates so much value we get a free supporter account! IMO there should be some incentive because there is plenty for mining with a pool.

I mean .01 BTC = shroomery sponser for a month.

Watcha think?

If the Shroomery had a mining pool, I would def be down, but I don't see the need to donate 100% of my cpu work, when 2% is the max going rate at any rate.

AND besides, the extra CPU work costs electricity, which users should be compensated for at the very least imo.

A couple points...

You need to be mining LTC.  All these other copy currencies are not going to catch on.  There's no possible way for them to catch up to BTC and LTC.  And nobody is going to be interested in a bunch of copycat currencies trying to cash in on the BTC wave.

BTC is the e-gold and LTC is the e-silver.  That makes the rest, at best, ranging from bronze to lead.

2nd point, you need to be in one of the major pools, not some oddball one that's unlikely to ever solve many blocks.


Other than that, I think you have a brilliant idea and plenty of other sites are likely to follow.  Facebook "likes" may someday indicate some real and finite resource like donating processor cycles.
