botting while your computer is asleep?

[poopy2177]

Is this in anyways possible because if I leave a bot on all day my comp like burns up it gets so hot but I am new to this new generation of botting I guess and I am mostly talking about using Kminer.

If you mean when your monitors asleep? Then yes. That works fine for me, nothing had to be set-up for that to work.

ok well I have a laptop so can I go to start-sleep and it will still bot?

Yes, what you do is go to the control panel and go to power and battery settings. From there, there should be a option that says "When lid is shut". Toggle the option saying no action. It should be default setted onto "hibernate", but you want it to to be "No action". What this does is it allows programs to run on your computer while the lid is just. It prevent overheating. There is another option but its much more complicated which is to get a VPS.

How is this even possible...

Sleep mode can go by many different names, including Stand By (for Microsoft Windows 95-Server 2003), Sleep (for Mac OS 8)-(Mac OS X, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008), and Suspend (Linux). When placed in this sleep mode, aside from the RAM which is required to restore the machine's state, the computer attempts to cut power to all unneeded parts of the machine. Because of the large power savings, most laptops automatically enter this mode when the computer is running on batteries and the lid is closed.

Though sleep and Hibernate are generally thought as two separate functions, some modern portable Macintoshes,[1] Windows Vista (termed Hybrid Sleep), and some specially configured Linux machines also feature a variation of Sleep mode that incorporates the strengths of Hibernate. The RAM is copied to the hard drive before sleep mode is initiated, preserving the RAM contents in the event of a power loss.

ACPI is the current standard for power management, superseding APM and providing the backbone for sleep and hibernation on modern computers. Sleep mode corresponds to ACPI mode S3. When a non-ACPI device is plugged in, Windows will sometimes disable stand-by functionality for the whole operating system. Without ACPI functionality, as seen on older hardware, sleep mode is usually restricted to turning off the monitor and spinning down the hard drive.

So your bot will sleep just like everything on your PC....It gets activated again when you unsleep your PC.

I have the problem, I have to leave my laptop on.

Get a VPS to avoid this.

A VPS is a Virtual Private Server. It's sort of like another computer. You could run bots on it with you laptop turned off.

I'm not sure what the most affordable site is to purchase a VPS. I know Burst.net has good ones, but they aren't allowing bots to be run on them anymore.

To answer your question in the title, no it cannot. The only way the computer runs a bot is if its running, not asleep, if this helps. What you can do if you have Vista or Windows 7, go to ur power options and put it on power saver and bot all night. Nothing should go wrong with the laptop or computer. I do it 24/7 and my comp is fine.

 

[Kiwi Karma]

Yeah don't think you can do that. I would just run it on a VPS- look at rsbotvps.com

 

[WoundSauce]

Unless you buy a VPS it is impossible. I would suggest just buying a fan to cool your laptop.

 

[poopy2177]

Ok guys thanks for all of the info

As long as your WiFi or your cable is still is still on/plugged in, it should still bot away even though your monitor is asleep/off.

You will need to change the settings for the WiFi for it not to disconnect when your monitor is asleep.

my laptop screen goes black after the 30 minutes its designated to, and my bot continues to run so i guess i'm botting with sleep..

don't see why your lappy doesn't just do the same, maybe your bot uses the actual mouse [meaning you can't do anything else while it runs]

 

[poopy2177]

no my mouse is not taken over

If your monitor is off your computer is not sleeping...
those are two different things.
