bailbloc's Issues

Flagged as a virus by AVG on macbook

Hi!
This is not really a 'bug' that you can fix, but something i thought u should be aware of, and maybe make a note of in the documentation.

When i went to install, AVG automatically quarantined the miner binary, breaking the install. For less technical users, this could freak them out or be an issue.

Macbook Pro

add info for macOS installation process

indicate to users on the 'drag to applications folder' page that they'll actually have to open the app for it to start working, and/or indicate that it's in their toolbar upon opening (maybe you do? I re-installed and didn't see this).

Credit for translators and where to add/edit translations?

A while ago I thought I found a list of translators for Bail Bloc somewhere, but now I can't find it any more. Perhaps some mentions to translators should be added to about.html.

More aggressive CPU usage caps

After #34/#32 is done, it should be possible to allow users to provide a higher CPU usage without much impact. Perhaps an option for 75% or even 100% should be added. Or even better, turn the usage setting into a 10%–100% range slider <input> with snapping (listening to change and setting the value?) to current predefined levels (10, 20, 50) for value ± 5%.

uninstall process?

The only thing that was a little creepy: tried to deinstall but couldn't because it was running, but didn't know how to turn it off without deinstalling it

Continuous Integration

Would love love love for someone to write CircleCI continuous integration to test on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Firefox blocks the WebMiner

I had a WebMiner tab open for more than a week before I realized that Firefox on Windows had blocked the CryptoMiner on the page. I had to click the shield on the left side of the URL bar and turn Enhanced Tracking Protection OFF so it would allow the CryptoMiner to run.

Maybe the webminer page should be updated with a message that users may need to make sure their browser doesn't block it.

make default cpu useage lower

25% is giving people problems. that or we read the system a tad and make a determination on install

Error auto updating to 1.1.3 on Mac

Installed from source on Yosemite (10.10.5 maybe this is my fault) and on npm start got the following:

"Run Bail Bloc" toggle option does not work

Thank you for your work. As titled, the toggle option "Run Bail Bloc" in the context menu would turn off the miner for 3 seconds, before turning it on again. A quick look at main.js seems to suggest that the issue is due to checkCharging() calling startMining() again after 3 seconds. Maybe set another variable in toggleMiner and check it in the else if clause of checkCharging?

seemingly mistaken "unsupported platform" error during `npm install` step

👋🏻 Hi, everyone. New here, looking to help out. I'm trying to get things running from the repo locally and I ran into this during the npm install step. It seems like I'm getting the wrong dependency, 7zip-bin-linux.

$ npm install

Any help appreciated, glad to add to the docs once I figure out how to fix this.

Pause while on battery [not only "low on battery"]?

Dear BailBloc team

BailBloc is a brilliant idea! I've noticed the setting to "Pause when low on battery". Is there a way to either, from the most lenient to the more stringent:

set the "low" level to other than the current 50%.
"pause when on battery, regardless of the load charge"
"pause when not fully charged, even if plugged in" (my personal preference, and the easiest to implement: set the level to 100%)

I suspect many laptop users might not be able to run BailBlock it if it halves their battery life, and will forget to fire it when plugging in. Some might also want to only mine when fully charged, to not slow down the charging time.

bail bloc starts at login though I have that disabled

Version 1.1.4 on macOS High Sierra.

way to show that it is working

i wonder if an animated icon could be good? a few people have asked "how do i know it's working?" or maybe in the dropdown below Run Bail Bloc a little text anim like

working
working.
working..
working... (loop)

know what I mean?

Errors running on Linux (some fatal)

When trying to start the app from the command line on Linux, it blows up on desktop/main.js:219 because no activeTrayImage is assigned unless the platform is darwin or win32:

Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Error processing argument at index 0, conversion failure from undefined
    at App.app.on (/home/trevor/oss/bailbloc/desktop/main.js:219:10)
    at emitTwo (events.js:111:20)
    at App.emit (events.js:194:7)

This assignment happens in an if statement on line 43 of the same file. Changing either branch of the if statement to evaluate to true (so, using either the Mac or Windows tray images) seems to get things up and running, although an error is still thrown when checking for updates:
z

[12:23:35.518] [error] Cannot check for updates: Error: Cannot find latest-linux.yml in the latest release artifacts (https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/releases/download/v1.1.2/latest-linux.yml): HttpError: 404 Not Found

I'm happy to help try and fix this, but I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to Electron 👀

Web mining page not working

The webminerpool webmr.js script is not loaded therefore breaking the web mining page. Also, consider using https://minexmr.stream. They have a low fee of 5%.

Abstract out number of miners from graph

we need to abstract out

stats[i].miners

to a numMiners variable or something, so when I switch to passing in number of miners as a variable, and not a list, I'll be able to just pass the variable in to the graphs.

Update XMRig binaries

The currently shipped version of macos (2.2.1) and linux (2.1.0) binaries is too old for features like #34 (2.3.0+) to work properly. There are also some minor bugfixes like donate level available in the new versions. Please consider updating these binaries, either from https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases or by building from source. (The official macOS binary only works on 10.12+.)

Add latest-linux.yml to release

I tried following the docs to install, but after running npm start I got the following error:

Cannot check for updates: Error: Cannot find latest-linux.yml in the latest release artifacts
(https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/releases/download/v1.1.4/latest-linux.yml): 
HttpError: 404 Not Found

It seems like it's trying to get 'latest-linux.yml' but all I see listed on the release are 'latest.yml' and 'latest-mac.yml'

Linux Mint 17.3, Node 8.0.0, NPM 5.4.2

Low priority miners (--cpu-priority=0)

Bailbloc can add a control for the miner processes' CPU priority, so these low priority processes can safely go to a very high CPU usage while being able to let other programs use the processors if they need to.

(If you introduce GPU mining later, make sure the GPU processes get a slightly higher prio than the CPU ones so they do get time to think about making the GPUs busy.)

site incorrectly zoomed on mobile

FAQ entry request: why isn't bailbloc using my CPU all the way to the maximum usage set?

It might be a good idea to explain to miners xmrig's dependence on cache space, so eager folks will know why bailbloc isn't going for a full 50% utilization rate on high. Something like "monero takes plenty of cache space to mine efficiently, and xmrig will decide that it's not worth the extra work to stuff in an under-cached thread". And a link to https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/wiki/Threads.

Alternative miner for non-admin Windows users

Windows users with non-admin privileges get the following error:

when miner.js tried to spawn the process because the user doesn't have permission to run the executable.

I think a good solution would be to listen for this error, and if it happens, running a different miner. One option would be to use an external worker like coinhive, which would take a percentage but still be better than nothing. Another option would be to write a worker that could run not as an executable.

What do people think?

can `node-icns` dev dependency be removed?

node-icns seems to deprecated, and unmaintained. any chance we can remove this dependency?

warning [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact [email protected] for more info.

indicate if it is paused

I like that it defaults to paused while on battery but it would be nice if the icon indicated if it was paused (or running)

i was trying to compile this on my linux server and getting the error below. It is Debian Wheezy which is oldoldstable but i hope we could get it working.

webminer "miner.js" needs to be updated due to monero upgrade

Monero recently updated, and the webmining server is now running on a newer release. The script in js/miner.js needs to be replaced with the current version of the webminer, which can be found at https://minexmr.stream/webmr.js

Mining code update needed before the march monero update

Monero will be tweaking its PoW algorithm in the next fork, in order to strengthen its ASIC resistance and keep CPU miners competitive.

I notice you're using xmrig internally, and I made a patch for this here: xmrig/xmrig-nvidia#105

You will need to update xmrig once they've merged this in order to be able to continue mining monero after the march update. This should be the only thing that needs to change for you.

sometimes when i quit the bailbloc_worker doesnt

it persists which i notice bc of battery usage, and i see it in activity monitor

indicate that it is running in tray

related to another issue,

Install was easy, but it would be nice to have some sort of indication that it only runs in your tray rather than opening any windows. I tried opening it 3 times before realizing it was already running as a tiny icon in the corner of the screen.

Control thread count (--threads)

Despite a "high" system impact target which should allow for 50% cpu usage, bailbloc's worker is only using around 25% of CPU resources on my 2C4T machine. As mentioned in #32, editing miner.js manually to allow for more threads allows me to see a higher usage.

A naive fix is to ask for '--threads': ''+os.cpus().length() in Miner's arguments. A better fix should involve coupling it to the impact setting so that the usage limit is approximately proportional to the number of threads allowed.

Since XMR takes a shitton of CPU cache to mine, the thread count should also take into account of L3 cache space available. Perhaps that choice should just be handed to XMRig. https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/wiki/Threads

feedback for first run

there could be a "You're now actively bailing people out of jail" success message or something the first time you run it. If I hadn't thought to look at the status bar I could've easily thought that it had just crashed or not worked somehow.

CPU usage is bonkers high

Hi! Not sure if this is still being maintained, but I just got a new 2019 Macbook Pro and installed it. Every time it starts up, the CPU usage goes waaaay high even after I messed with the settings. If I have time I might take a look at the code and see if there's some new Mac OS update that's causing this, but also wanted to flag it in case the codebase is still being maintained.

FWIW:

Thanks for building this y'all!
