A hidden miner installed by an employee can be considered theft.  If your company security team knows anything about security they would know how to block this and locate who installed it.  This could be blocked down at the endpoint or at the network level.  Definitely not worth the risk of getting fired for a few dollars.
Well said! This is really considered as theft yet you dont have any permissions on installing up these hidden miners.We cant still consider to be a penny income yet if the company
do have lots of pc's then the amount would be recognizable but well on exchange you are risking up your work/job once caught.
At the end of 2017 a simple system administrator in our company installed such hidden miners on computers in one of our outposts. They were found only after a couple of weeks and removed, and the employee publicly reprimanded and fired a month later with a scandal.
In general, installation in the workplace is definitely not good idea, if the topstarter thinks about it - please think again

I use the job planner and run the miners on behalf of the user "system" when turning on the computer. You can also configure the BIOS to turn on the computer after a working day, and in the same scheduler turn it off before people come to work  Wink
This is probably the most appropriate and most ethical solution to your problem. The use of computing power of computers in the daytime, when everyone is working behind them, is not an ethical way to mine cryptocurrency. In addition, your superiors will not like it if it finds out about your uncoordinated actions. In any case, the choice is yours.

While running this could get you fired from your day job, this resource is good for tapping unused CPU processing power. I will try this in the months to come and give feedback if it's really hidden and unnoticeable.

"Hide in plain sight"
when you run this maybe you can use it in your workplace if you work in an office, so every employee who activates a computer will do mining too but I think that is very dangerous because it will reduce the performance of computers used for mining.

Guys, I have the opposite problem, please tell me how to detect a hidden miner. Recently, my work computer has become noticeably slower. It seems to me that our IT specialist decided to earn extra money and did not inform anyone))

Having this problem too. It seems that someone managed to put a hidden miner in my computer and my anti-virus or anything that could block potential risk is not detecting it. Any help would be appreciated Smiley

Something I did for convenience is create a service with NSSM (https://nssm.cc) to run the miner.
NSSM can be configured to keep the console hidden and has options for user, cup-priority and affinity and so on.

Then you could just create a scheduled task to start/stop the miner automatically when you would want it to run or not.
Just rename the exe of the miner and put it somewhere in the system files, as it will be shown in the task manager.


Just an idea: maybe more covert would be to do the mining through a web based miner and then include that in NSSM.
The user would only see a browser process in his task manager but would not be able to interact with the window (hidden).

Minergate is not the best program but it has a console version which is well hidden.

I use xmr-stak-cpu. Excellent miner for processors from Intel. It is easy to configure (knowing the amount of smartcash and the presence of AES) and antiviruses do not delete it.
