Coinworks Background Miner for Windows (BETA)

If you can't afford a dedicated mining machine or just want to maximize the Dogecoin / Bitcoin mining utility of every piece of Windows hardware you have, Background Miner for Windows is for you.

Background Miner works with:

Download

Windows Installer: CoinWorks Background Miner 1.0.0 (0.9mb, requires .NET 4.0)

How it works

Background Miner runs in the background (duh) and is always accessible via the Windows Tray. Whenever your system has been idle for longer than a few minutes, Background Miner will automatically start any miners you've configured and run them until you start using your computer again.

Privacy

Background Miner uses MarkedUp Analytics for Windows Desktop to collect crash logs and enagement metrics and uses MarkedUp Notifications to contact users who've been unable to successfully start the miner. We do not share any of this data with third parties and nor does it contain any personally identifiable information. In the very near future we plan to add opt-out support for users who are concerned about their privacy.

Authors and Third-Party Acknowledgements

Background Miner is developed and maintained primarily by @Aaronontheweb. It depends on third party libraries such as Helios, JSON.NET, and MarkedUp Analytics for Windows Desktop.
