New Software- IdleMiner

[Tk79]

OP,

When you select multiple limits is there a priority set to each limit as in iWitness or do they just open even ammounts of tables for each limit?

[idleminer]

The number of tables to open is evenly spread. If there is enough demand for it, we will consider adding a feature where the user can select the number of tables for each limit they want to open.

i have 2 cpu's connected via Cat5 cable and networkcards, is there anyway 2 have cpu2 data mine pp while i play on cpu1. i use a PostgreSQL database with Poker Tracker and maybe once an hour would like 2 transfer the data from cpu2 to 1

You're not trying to login twice with the same account, are you? Of course you won't be able to log-in on both computers at once; this has nothing to do with IdleMiner.

As long as the file that the hand histories are ending up in is shared you should be able to import them onto CPU1 from CPU2 any time you want too.

Edit: Sam's post also makes alot of sense. You can datamine 4 tables however without logging in.

OP-
I just DLed the program and it works fine. I only have two questions, and they may be fairly dumb and noobish, but I really don't know the answers lol.

The first is: Do I need PokerTracker running for this to work? Do I need it auto-updating hand histories from Party?

The second is: If I don't need PT running, how do I utilize this information?

Sorry for the dumb questions, and thanks for the software, it seems as though it's going to be great.

Edit: Also, one last n00b question: This is in no way illegal at Party, right? I don't wanna get banned or anything for this. I'm pretty sure it's on the up and up, but I just had to ask.

[idleminer]

Don't worry no questions are dumb. Chances are someone else has the same question.

I think I can answer both your quetions in one resopnse. You can do it either way. You can have poker tracker auto imoporting the hands as they come in while using IdleMiner or you can imoprt them later. Either is fine. If you need more help with this email me at [email protected]

So if I leave IdleMiner open all night without PT running, when I go to play the next day and auto-import the first batch of hands, all the hands IdleMiner logged the night before will be updated into my database? Very nice, indeed! Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, but that will likely take a couple hours to import. As long as you keep that in mind, you're good to go.

the obvious solution would be to run PT at the same time (importing every 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 minutes or whatever) as you run idleminer.

i'd be surprised if using the processor to import hands made a significant difference to the electricity costs- but it would make a significant difference to your ability to use the recently datamined hands as soon as possible when you sat down.
