Thanks,



I've been testing this out today - great start on the project - 1000MMC on its way to you.



My thoughts are -



LiveCD works, but difficult to configure - as others recommend, I now think better to focus on liveUSB, and when that is more settled, make a liveCD variant.



LiveUSB -



I used the windows program recommended to create the USB stick, then altered the config and now have a bootable OS that starts mining on the network PC. It found the right chipset to use too. Love the miner pic on boot up too!



Problems:

1. It starts out trying to mine 8 threads on an 8GB machine - not finding enough memory and crashing, so I have to set the config to 7 threads. That makes the USB stick specific to machines that use 7 threads (and config is tough for my grandmother). I found with the windows-qt client that it was quite easy to find the amount of physical memory available on the machine and set the number of threads accordingly. I think this probably belongs in YAM autoconfiguration, along with auto-detection of AES-NI.



2. Config is a hassle - need some way to set mining address after boot-up, maybe from keyboard entry (possibly just first 6 chars, grab addresses from an address autocomplete api), or use a hardware signature(and/or ip address) to lookup a mining address from a web service.



Overall though, great start - any thoughts for a name?
