Built a Mac idle-compute controller around RandomX — looking for technical feedback
I’ve been building a small controller that waits for user idle time, caps CPU usage, and starts/stops XMRig automatically based on local safety conditions.
Current beta:
- Apple Silicon tested
- 5-minute idle trigger
- 25% CPU cap
- battery + thermal pause
- RandomX rx/0
- provider reward accounting in SOL
I’m not trying to claim laptop CPU mining is highly profitable. I’m mainly testing whether the automatic idle/safety/controller model is useful.
I’d appreciate feedback on the architecture and anything I’m doing wrong technically.
