IdleMiner is a new piece of software designed to make datamining observed hands on party poker a snap. It's so simple that it datamines while you are away from the computer. IdleMiner functions as a screensaver that automatically opens tables at limits you specify and saves the hands in a file for later import into poker tracker.

We are currently beta testing the product and would love it if members of the 2+2 community would participate in this beta. If you would like to participate go to www.idleminer.com for instructions and download.

We will be watching this thread to answer anyones questions or respond to any comments. You can also email us at support@idleminer.com.

Thanks,
IdleMiner

Sounds cool but after the RBCalc situation Im not going to be the guinea pig.

Haha thats okay, I'm sure time will show that it is nothing to be worried about.

However it is good practice to always scan everything that you download.

Im not tryin to say that I think your software is anything other than what you say it is, Id just rather someone a bit more computer savy than me check it out first. I look forward to trying it out in the future though. Good luck and welcome to the forums.

Is your software easier then the 2-app solution currently in place?

Yes much easier. It is just about as easy as it can possibly get. You can start to datamine from the configuration window in which case it will automatically open up the tables and begin to gather observed hands. Also, IdleMiner functinos as a screen saver. So if your computer is idle for say 10 minutes idleminer will automatically open up tables and begin to datamine. You really dont have to do a thing.

It takes way too long to email your password info. Guess I'll have to see if I get the email tomorrow...

The email's should be sent instantly. You should check and see if the email was regarded as spam by your mail system's filter. If that doesnt work, you should try using the password recovery tool on the website. If all else fails please email us at support@idleminer.com and we will try to work it out with you.

If I understand well, your software is an equivalent of freewares iWitness + FPGH.

Agreed. I will wait until some others take a peek at the program and then I will try it out myself.

http://www.idleminer.com/ isn't working for me.

http://idleminer.com/ links to a site which is just an advert for a Party Freeroll?

Juk

When I clicked the link earlier, it worked, but right now, I'm getting the same results as you.

We are having some technical difficulties with our server. We have a temporary direct download if you would like to try out the software here: http://www.idleminer.com/com/download.php

You should be able to directly download and install from there.

Does it work on different games (i.e. stud & omaha) or just holdem?

Also, do you have to have the Party client open for this to work or does the screensaver open it and log you in automatically?

Currently the software only works for holdem. That may be something we will be able to work on. To answer your second question. No, you do not need to have party poker open. It opens it up for you and automatically logs in and opens up the tables and begins datamining. That way, whenever you are away from the computer you will be guranteed to be datamining without any effort from you.

Website is back up. That link will now redirect you to the main page.

Trying it out now, it has been running for a couple hours and has worked perfect. I have yet to try the screensaver function, but it sounds very useful.

Yep, I'm getting no email here.
Also tried the requesting of a new password. No joy.

Is this software safe? Couldn't this easily log your partypoker paassword? and disasters could go down from there?

Any software running while you have party poker running could steal your password. It is good practice to scan anything that you download to make sure it is safe.

scan with what ... please advise

Basically you could use any anti-virus software comercially available. Also if someone is tech-savy enough they can verify that nothing is being sent from the software onto the internet with a packet sniffer.

What/Where do you get a packet sniffer? part of an anti-virus package?

Edit: I know nothing
